As part of the Homeless Persons Program, I provide health support to homeless and at risk youth residing in emergency accomodation or couch surfing. By linking 'at-risk' youth to services such as GPs, dental care, immunisations and mental health we hope to improve their health outcomes and support their road to independence and self-support.

Mornington

The Bays Hospital is a small, not-for-profit hospital based on the Mornington Peninsula. I have used the skills gained over the past 10 years on a busy surgical ward at Peninsula Private Hospital to continue my nursing career in this tight knit, community focused hospital. I have found a renewed energy working within an organisation which reinvests its earnings back into the hospital, rather than supporting shareholders. I continue as always to strive towards providing the outstanding nursing care all patients deserve.
