Hayley Colbert
After graduating Optometry at QUT in 1994 and practising optometry for a few years, I became involved in indigenous eye health and gained extensive experience in the management of chronic eye conditions. Visiting remote communities around Kununurra and Katherine, my clinical interest in the effects of diabetes on the eye was fostered. With a young family with four children, we took over Bayside Optometry in 2013 and have loved every day of caring for the Brisbane community since!

Over the past 20 years, I have practised full scope optometry as well as caring for pre- and post-operative eye surgery patients as Clinical Optometrist for a refractive eye surgery practice. Now as a Senior Optometrist at Bayside Optometry, I am passionate about providing the best optometric care to each patient, and enjoy pursuing my particular interest in children's vision.
Alison MacLeod
After graduating optometry in 2005, I gained extensive experience in the management of eye disease working in Mackay, before returning to Brisbane to join a Behavioural optometry practice. I've been working at Bayside Optometry in 2016 and appreciate the passion that the team has for eye health and the ability to utilise high end optical technology for my patients' benefit, as well as furthering my clinical interest in children's vision.
Giving back
At Bayside, we are a local team and a local business. We partner with other local businesses to keep money and jobs in the community and we also do everything we can to give back. We're currently active in a number of projects including collecting used spectacles for redistribution in third world countries for Rotary, and we sponsor a boarding house and school bus for the School of St Jude in Tanzania. At a local level, we sponsor a junior soccer side, contribute to prizes for school, sporting and community fund raising, and provide education sessions to students and parents on how to look after their eyes.
