Currently, I am the Director of Quality and Patient Safety at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and have been in this position over the last five years. Along with this I am a Board Director of East Wimmera Health Service, Deputy Chair and Chair of the Quality and Risk Committee, and a Director of the Australian Quadriplegia Association (AQA) and am the Convenor of the AQA Risk and Quality Committee.
I trained at RMIT and completed my Graduate Nurse Program and Graduate Certificate in Emergency Nursing at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney.
After this I took on an ANUM role at RCH Emergency Department and then moved to the USA working at Leonardtown Community Hospital (Med Star)
Emergency Department in the state of Maryland for three years; then I took some time working part time and having children.
I hold a master’s degree in Health Services Management from Monash University. In 2006 I joined RMH in the ED as an educator and then went on to coordinate the Graduate Nurse program for 12 months. After this other roles included Emergency Management and Planning Project Manager (all under Denise’s leadership) and then moving into the qualityteam with my last role in 2018 as Interim Director Clinical Governance and Community Engagement.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital has always been a terrific place to work and I have had many wonderful experiences here working with many wonderful people.
Over the last few years I have had to step up again clinically to support the COVID effort. Initially, I administered flu shots in the early part of 2020 to many of the Peter Mac Staff and then working in the Hotels for Hero’s for six months looking after many of the unwell heath care workers of Victoria who could not isolate safely at home. During all of this time I was a Part Time Nursing Officer in the Australian Army and a highlight for me was working on Galiwin’ku Island (500km North East of Darwin) with the local Health Care team and caring for the locals.
My two children are now adults and I am trying to transition into life without school kids and having little adults. So now I can focus on supporting the Grad Nurse Association and getting to live shows, gardening and skiing; however, the kids like to tag along for that.
