Mr Chung graduated from Monash University and worked as a fully qualified pharmacist before embarking on medicine. As a pharmacist before becoming a doctor, Mr Chung has had many years of delivering patient care and it has always been his goal to provide care that is balanced and patient-focused.

Mr Chung undertook to study medicine to enhance and complement his pharmaceutical knowledge, and completed his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney. During medical school, he was particularly fascinated by the intricacies of the brain and the advances that surgery was making in the lives of those afflicted with neurological diseases.

Upon graduating in medicine, he completed residency and advanced neurosurgical training in Sydney and Melbourne, and was admitted into the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons as a specialist neurosurgeon. He has also completed extensive fellowship training from The Royal Edinburgh College of Surgeons and Salford Royal Foundation Trust in the UK, where he was the lead clinician in one of the busiest UK neurovascular quaternary referral centres.
