For this Lunch Order, we’re joined by none other than legendary Dolly Doctor, Dr Melissa Kang, to talk about the hideously embarrassing totally normal things we all want to know about our bodies but can feel too ashamed to ask.
This event will be available to watch on this page from 12.30pm on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
Lunch Orders is generously supported by George and Rosa Morstyn.
Presented in partnership with the Victorian Association for the Teaching of English.
About Lunch Orders
While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind. In Term 2, Lunch Orders is delivering a discourse on bodies. How do they work? How can we learn to feel good about them? How can we make space in society for all bodies?
Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox from an expert. They will then be joined by The Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, for a Q&A that enriches and expands on their ideas.
Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, and a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
Featuring
Melissa Kang
Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she’s also a practising medical doctor for marginalised young people and has academic roles at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney.

Melissa has co-written, with Yumi Stynes, Welcome to Consent and Welcome to Your Period.
