Mr Wallis was raised in Perth and following completion of high school, studied Medicine at the University of Western Australia prior to undertaking and completing his orthopaedic surgical training.
On completion of his surgical training, Mr Wallis provided Locum Consultant services to Bunbury Regional Hospital and Joondalup Health Campus. It was following this that he embarked on his overseas fellowship training.
His first was undertaken at UniSports under the tutelage of Mr Stuart Walsh, Mr Michael Rosenfelt, Professor Bruce Twaddle and Mr Jeremy Stanley in Auckland, New Zealand, undergoing specialised training in soft tissue and joint preservation surgery. Mr Wallis was part of the UniSports team treating both national and international athletes including Olympic athletes, the All Blacks, Auckland Warriors, Auckland Blues, men’s and women’ Rugby 7s teams, the Touch Blacks and the Northern Mystics.
This was followed by a Fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedics in Auckland at New Zealand’s flagship paediatric facility, Starship Children’s Hospital. This included a wide range of paediatric issues including hip dysplasia and adolescent soft tissue knee disorders.
Prior to returning to Perth, Mr Wallis undertook a number of observerships in Switzerland and the United States of America. He attended the Kantonsspital Baseland, Switzerland focusing on arthroplasty and trauma surgery before time at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Centre in Baltimore, USA, Harbor-UCLA in Los Angeles, USA and the HOAG Institute in Irvine California, USA.
On his return to Australia, Mr Wallis joined the team at Hollywood Orthopaedic Group. Here he offers consultations in addition to private operating lists at Hollywood Private Hospital. Additionally, Mr Wallis has a satellite clinic at Joondalup Health Campus where he can offer private consultations, private and public operating in addition to being part of the trauma team.
Mr Wallis has a special interest in sports surgery, offering soft tissue and joint preservation surgery to athletes of all levels and ages (knees and shoulders).

He offers trauma services to both adults and paediatrics and has an interest in lower limb paediatric orthopaedics.
Services
Hip Surgery
The hip is a large ball and socket joint. It is essential to normal daily activity with problems from hip joint pathology affecting patients’ ability to walk, sit, work and play.
Our hip specialists at The Orthopaedic Group deal with hip problems across all ages and can help you manage your symptoms, with advice on non-operative treatments as well as the full range of surgical interventions backed by evidence and supported by current technologies.
Our team can manage hip problems from dysplasia in a newborn through sporting injuries in children and younger adults, to degenerative problems in older adult life.
Knee Surgery
The knee is a complex hinge joint. It is susceptible to both injury and arthritis with frequent presenting symptoms including pain, catching and instability.
Our knee specialists at The Orthopaedic Group are skilled in the assessment of knee pathology in all ages and can help you manage your symptoms with advice on non-operative treatments, as well as the full range of surgical options supported by the best technology.
Our team uses all current technologies including custom planned joint replacement and robotic assisted surgery to deliver accurate operations.
Sports Injury and Trauma
Sports injuries are common and can affect athletes at all levels, from weekend warriors to professional competitors. These injuries can involve bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. While many sports-related injuries are preventable with proper training, warm-ups, and equipment, accidents can still occur. While non-operative measures may be enough to manage some injuries, sports injuries can often be complex and in some cases require surgical intervention for proper healing and to return athletes to their peak performance.
Paediatric Orthopaedics
We offer a comprehensive paediatric orthopaedic service for children from newborn to adolescence including an assessment and bracing service for Developmental dysplasia of the hip DDH.
Shoulder Surgery
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint made up of a large ball (humerus) and a shallow socket (glenoid). It is prone to injury from overhead work or play, as well as age related wear and tear. Symptoms of a shoulder problem may include pain, weakness, or instability.
Our shoulder specialists at The Orthopaedic Group can guide you through the investigation and management of shoulder problems, and provide advice on both operative and non-operative strategies for care.
