BIO

Dr Hilary Grover grew up taking every opportunity to watch and play sport. In high school she undertook work experience with an AFL club doctor and from that moment she knew she would pursue a career in Sports and Exercise Medicine. Whilst Hilary was in medical school she was a founding member of the Sports and Exercise Medicine Student’s Association and started volunteering at amateur football clubs as a trainer.

She has enthusiastically worked across various sporting bodies including AFL, AFLW, Cricket Australia, A-League Men’s and Women’s and WNBL. Whilst working with elite teams has been an area of interest for Hilary, she also loves to focus on working with people in the community and keeping them fit, active and pain free. Hilary’s passion area is female athlete health and is currently working across a variety of sporting codes with female athletes. She was the Head Doctor at North Melbourne AFLW 2020-2024, and was part of the premiership winning medical team in 2024. Hilary now works for the Melbourne Football Club as an AFL team doctor. Hilary is a current Australian Women's Cricket Team touring Doctor, and travelled to Dubai to support the team at the T20 World Cup in 2024. Hilary also travelled with the U19 Women’s Australian Cricket team to South Africa in 2023 and from this has had an interest in working with adolescent and paediatric patients. In her personal life Hilary enjoys running and keeping fit across a number of disciplines. An enthusiast of all things AFL/W she competed in the Victorian Amateur Football Association League since the start of the women’s league.
