Dr Paul Harvie

Dr Paul Harvie is a Hobart-based orthopaedic surgeon with a particular focus on hip and knee conditions, including arthritis, joint degeneration, sports injuries and orthopaedic trauma.

His practice includes primary and revision joint replacement surgery, robotic-assisted hip and knee procedures, and anterior approach hip replacement.

Dr Harvie adopts a collaborative, team-based approach to each patient’s surgical journey.

He works closely with a consistent anaesthetist who has a particular interest in perioperative pain management, together with a Consultant Perioperative Physician who reviews his surgical patients daily following their procedure.

This coordinated model supports careful medical optimisation, structured recovery, and continuity of care during the hospital stay.

Dr Harvie also partners with an experienced group of physiotherapists and has developed a pre-operative education program designed to help patients understand their procedure, recovery expectations, and rehabilitation pathway.

Post-operative physiotherapy support and follow-up are provided where appropriate to assist ongoing recovery.

Dr Harvie completed his orthopaedic training in the United Kingdom and holds dual accreditation with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

Originally trained as an engineer, he completed an undergraduate engineering degree before pursuing medicine and subsequently undertook a Medical Research Doctorate at the University of Oxford.

He completed the six-year Oxford Orthopaedic Training Program, followed by fellowship training in Australia and the United Kingdom focused on complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgery.

In addition to his clinical practice, Associate Professor Harvie is actively involved in teaching and research in orthopaedics.
