Dr Matthew Peverelle

Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist and Bariatric Endoscopist

(M.D, FRACP, B.Biomed.)

Melbourne, Australia

I am a gastroenterologist and hepatologist committed to providing thorough, compassionate, and evidence-based care.

I completed my advanced training in gastroenterology at Monash Health and Austin Health, as well as at the Victorian Liver Transplant Unit. I then undertook a hepatology fellowship at King’s College Hospital in London, United Kingdom.

I am trained in FibroScan and have a strong research background in liver disease and inflammatory bowel disease. My approach is centred on delivering personalised care, ensuring each patient feels informed, supported, and confident in their treatment plan.

Areas of Expertise

Conditions Treated

  • Liver Disease

    Dr Peverelle specialises in diagnosing and treating a wide range of liver diseases. Diseases that affect the liver are highly diverse and include fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, hepatitis, and liver tumours.

  • Obesity / Metabolic Syndrome

    Obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition, and like all chronic conditions, it requires a long-term strategy rather than a short-term solution.

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an immune-related condition causing gut inflammation, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI)

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) has recently been changed to be called ‘Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI)’, to reflect that neurological miscommunication between the gut and the brain, and is a common gut condition affecting how your bowel functions.

  • Polyps

    Polyps are the number one risk factor for developing cancer of the bowel.

  • Bowel Cancer

    Bowel cancer is one of the most common, but also one of the most preventable, cancers in Australia. Stool testing and colonoscopy are two effective ways to check for cancer of the bowel.

  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

    SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally live in the large bowel migrate and overgrow in the small intestine, disrupting normal gut function.

  • Oesophageal Disease

    Diseases affecting the oesophagus are common and include acid reflux, difficulty swallowing and regurgitation.
