Kirsten J. Moore is a geriatrician based at the Royal Park Campus in Parkville, VIC. Her clinic is in Gate 4, Building 8, 34-54 Poplar Rd, Parkville, VIC 3052. Kirsten’s work is focused on caring for older people, especially when health gets complicated and there are a few problems happening at the same time.
As a geriatrician, Kirsten looks after patients with conditions that affect ageing, day-to-day function, and overall wellbeing. In many cases, that means helping people who are dealing with dementia, and supporting carers and families along the way. Dementia can change slowly, but the day-to-day impact can be big, and the care often needs to be steady and practical.
Kirsten also has experience with issues like anorexia, where not eating well can lead to weakness and other health problems. She may help patients and families understand what’s going on, what can be tried, and how to make meals and routines feel more manageable. At times, this can link in with broader medical concerns, rather than being treated as a standalone problem.
In addition, Kirsten’s service includes support for people who have had serious respiratory illness, including COVID-19 and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). After these kinds of infections, recovery can be uneven. Energy levels, breathing, and strength can all take time, and care may need to be planned in a way that fits real life.
She also works with patients who have gastrostomy care needs. That can include helping manage feeding plans and supporting safety and comfort. When someone has a gastrostomy, the routine matters, and small changes can make a big difference for both the patient and the people providing day-to-day support.
Training and education details aren’t listed here, but Kirsten’s role involves ongoing professional learning because older patient care changes as new guidance and treatments come out. The same applies when health situations shift, like after a hospital stay.
Research and clinical trial work aren’t listed in the details provided. What is clear is that Kirsten’s approach is built around careful, patient-centred care for older adults, with a focus on dignity, clear communication, and practical next steps.
