Dr Stelmach completed her Oculoplastics Fellowships at Manchester Eye Hospital with Mr Brian Leatherbarrow and at the University Hospital of Wales with Mrs Carol Lane. Her extensive Oculoplastics Fellowship training in the United Kingdom has provided her with a solid foundation in which to further expand her surgical and teaching skills. In order to provide her patients with the latest non-invasive endoscopic lacrimal surgery, Dr Stelmach undertook further specialist training in Ear Nose and Throat Surgery with Mr Heikki Whittet, at Swansea General Hospital in the United Kingdom. On returning to Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, she was appointed specialist surgeon to the Oculoplastics Unit and has trained other ophthalmologists, from Australia and overseas, to perform these latest surgical techniques. Dr Stelmach is passionate about teaching and academic pursuits. Having lectured at the University of Melbourne, her enthusiasm for teaching the specialty of Oculoplastics continues, training other ophthalmologists and teaching general practitioners, optometrists, and nurses.

At first, I was referred to Dr Stelmach from a Mr Eric Cheng (Ophthalmologist ), situated at Eye Can C Optometry Williamstown, due noticeable vision defects Dr Stelmach recognized that I had excess skin over my eye lids and would need a Blepharoplasty Operation. This could not be performed immediately as both eyes were infected.
Pre Op treatment was explained to me, in which the information was easily understood. Dr Stelmach was concerned with my general health as well as the overall health of my eyes and reassuring me of a successful outcome
The Operation was successful, there was many Post- Opp follow up appointments, with Dr Stelmach, where the improvement of my eyes was quite noticeable, also she made herself available anytime to discuss any of my concerns. I am discharged now but I must give a big shout out to the team at Cabrini and Tiara who Co-ordinates everything.
