It was on a trip through some of the most impoverished parts of Africa that Dr Robinson decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. He subsequently graduated from medicine and, after completing his residency, commenced specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology. Placements at the Townsville Hospital, the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and Caboolture Hospital, saw Dr Robinson gain invaluable experience caring for women through their pregnancies, labours, and deliveries.

He then undertook two years of specialised gynaecology training in Adelaide, focusing on urogynaecology and advanced laparoscopic surgery. He completed a Masters of Reproductive Medicine. Dr Robinson has interests in the management of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, the menopause, and fertility and is well known for his calm and gentle demeanour, and patient-focused care.
