Emma Buckland will work at St John of God Hospital and Bendigo Health.
Dr Buckland completed a medical degree at Monash University before moving to Bendigo in 2004 where she took a job as a resident in obstetrics with Bendigo Health's maternity ward.
She said she looked forward to working in Bendigo.
"My love of obstetrics, caring for pregnant woman and delivering babies began after working on the maternity ward in Bendigo," she said.
"I look forward to returning to the region with my family and caring for the women of Bendigo. I feel like I am coming home."
"I did my qualification as a GP obstetrician during that year and learnt my basics in obstetrics and gynae from the fantastic midwives and consultants here, Dr Munro, Dr Hoffman, Dr Cullen, Dr Jelland and Dr Roessler."
Over the past 18 months, Dr Buckland worked at the Royal Women's Hospital and the Box Hill Hospital as well as private practice.
