FRACGP

Heather graduated from the University of Newcastle in 1997 and worked at the Gold Coast Hospital for 3 years prior to commencing her GP training.

She has worked in many places all over Australia including remote Indigenous communities and Christmas and Cocos-Keeling Islands. This work has given her an appreciation of how an individual’s background, language and cultural differences can affect their experiences in their own health and health care.

She enjoys helping and supporting people to better understand and manage their physical and mental health.  She likes to work with patients in a way that encourages genuine participation and ownership in this process.

She consults part-time at Morningside General Practice Clinic whilst continuing to work in smaller regional communities with limited health care options.
