Justin Black
Founder & Director — Nurse Practitioner
I'm Justin Black, a Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in weight loss, general practice, emergency care, paediatrics, intensive care, and chronic disease.
After serving as Clinical Director at one of Australia's largest weight loss clinics — where patients could see one of more than 100 clinicians, each with a different approach — I started Downscale with a simple idea: you should always know who your clinician is. Here, you see me, every time.
My approach is patient-centred, practical, and sustainable. I understand the realities of busy lives and the ups and downs of treatment. My focus is on getting people to their goal weight and, most importantly, helping them stay there — without pressure, without judgement, and without unnecessary appointments.
I also believe treatment should be as affordable as possible. There are many ways to make this work (😉) and I'll always be upfront about the best options. Patients book their own follow-ups on their terms — because this is about your life, not my schedule.
