Perth-born, fellowship-trained, home again.

Luke began his medical journey at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle, where he completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, achieving the top mark in the course. He subsequently completed a Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery, where he excelled academically, graduating with First Class Honours, receiving the prize for the most outstanding clinical student across his final two clinical years, and achieving the top mark in the Honours research program.

He also spent a clinical year at the Albany Rural Clinical School, where he was awarded the top mark among rural clinical students, an experience that deepened his connection to regional Western Australia and his commitment to accessible, high-quality specialist care.

He completed his specialist Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery training within Western Australia through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, achieving his Fellowship (FRACS) in 2024.

During specialist training, Dr O'Neil spent 1.5 years working at paediatric hospitals and has maintained children's ENT as a core part of his practice.

Following completion of specialist training, Dr O'Neil was selected through the highly competitive American Rhinologic Society Match to undertake the Neurorhinology, Orbital and Advanced Sinus Surgery Fellowship at the University of Washington in Seattle, a highly prestigious rhinology and skull base fellowship.

Under the supervision of Dr Ian Humphreys, Dr Aria Jafari, Dr Waleed Abuzeid and Dr Alex Chiu, internationally recognised leaders in rhinology and skull base surgery, Dr O'Neil gained extensive experience in advanced endoscopic sinus surgery, complex sinonasal tumours, anterior skull base approaches, and orbital surgery, operating on some of the most challenging cases seen in the USA.

Prior to his fellowship, Dr O'Neil also spent time observing rhinology at other centres in America, including Stanford University, Emory University, Indiana University, Thomas Jefferson University, Columbia and Cornell Universities, and Mount Sinai University. He also spent time undertaking an observership at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Centre, the international leader for paediatric otolaryngology, a direct extension of his interest in children's ENT carried through from his specialist training in Western Australia.
