Dr Giulieri was born in Cairns, and went to school in England. It was as a teenager in England that her passion for orthodontics began when she was treated at a specialist centre for impacted teeth.

During this time, she completed her Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons primary examinations and was awarded commendations for outstanding performance in 5 subjects. Caitlin completed her orthodontic specialist qualifications at The University of Queensland, with her research on Invisalign aligners published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics.

Tracy - Practice Manager

Tracy – Practice Manager

Tracy has been working in the dental industry for many years (more than she will admit out loud). Having worked in general dental practices, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery and paediatrics there isn’t much that she hasn’t seen or heard. You will most likely speak to Tracy on the phone or at reception but as she has a certificate 3 and 4 in dental assisting, she is often chairside as well when time allows. Tracy has a passion for making all dental experiences positive and enjoyable for all involved. She will take time to explain procedures and what to expect before and after treatment.

When she isn’t in the office, she spends time with her husband Shane and 2 teenage children Sienna and Cooper and her dog Cleo, if you ask her kids the dog is her favourite.
