Lachlan Soper

Lachlan Soper is a general practitioner working in the Sydney, Australia area. He spends most of his time cycling through the many routes going through the city. He has always loved the sport, and continues to spend as much time riding as possible. 

Lachlan Soper rides at lest 3 times a week with a goal of reaching 10k kilometres biked throughout the year. As a father of 3, he enjoys sharing his passion with his children. As much as his children keep him moving, they keep him young at heart.

Family is, hands down, the most important part of Lachlan’s life. As a parent, he believes in being firm, fun, and fair. He stays firm when setting boundaries for the sake of his children’s safety but likes to infuse as much fun into their lives as much as possible. Most importantly, however, Lachlan Soper stresses the importance of a foundation of authenticity in parenting. Rather than present himself as perfect or always right, he makes sure to model that he is a fellow human being—one that will occasionally get things wrong. When that does occur, he models a quick apology and sincere forgiveness. As a devoted Christian, Lachlan also fuses his faith into his parenting when applicable so that his children understand how to deal with life’s challenges in a Christ-like manner. 

Professionally, Lachlan Soper is a general practitioner and also works as a VMO in emergency medicine, general medicine, and paediatrics as the sole doctor in the hospital in rural communities. He graduated with his medical degree in 2000 and earned his FRACGP (Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners) in 2006. As a father three times over, he enjoys the full spectrum of patients that being a general practitioner offers. He works with newborns and their parents to patients in their golden years of life. For Lachlan Soper, being referred to by a client as, “My family’s GP,” is a great honour and blessing. Lachlan is currently working as a General Practitioner at Avenue Road Medical Practice.
