Dr Jowita Kozlowska

Dr Jowita Kozlowska is a Specialist General Physician with extensive experience caring for older adults with complex medical conditions,
multimorbidity, and acute illness. Much of her career has been spent working in hospital settings, caring for patients and supporting them and
their families through critical illness, recovery, and complex discharge planning.

Through this work, Dr Kozlowska has cared for many older patients who experienced significant loss of function following acute illness, often
requiring transition to residential aged care. These experiences have strongly shaped her current clinical focus and reinforced the importance of
earlier, proactive medical care.

In her private rooms, Dr Kozlowska now focuses on healthy ageing and supporting patients before illness or functional decline becomes established. Her approach is centred on comprehensive assessment, risk reduction, optimisation of chronic disease management, and careful review of medications, always guided by individual values and goals. She works closely with patients to help them remain active, independent, and well as they age.

 

Dr Kozlowska commonly sees patients with multiple medical conditions who benefit from clear prioritisation of care and coordinated management. She has particular clinical interests in cardiovascular and metabolic health, including heart failure, stroke prevention, and type 2 diabetes, as well as bone health, osteoporosis, and falls risk assessment. She also provides perioperative medical care, including pre-operative assessment and optimisation for patients with complex medical needs, and inpatient perioperative consultations in collaboration with surgeons.

Across all settings, Dr Kozlowska values clear communication, continuity of care, and strong collaboration with general practitioners and allied health professionals. She aims to provide timely, practical recommendations that support ongoing care in the community and reduce avoidable
hospitalisation.

Dr Kozlowska enjoys teaching and supervising medical students and junior doctors. She has previously received an award for Outstanding
Contribution to Student Learning from the University Centre for Rural Health (2019) and will take on the role of Advanced Trainee Supervisor in
General Medicine at Noosa Hospital in 2026.
