Victoria has enjoyed a rich and varied professional life as a nurse and midwife for more than 40 years. She completed her training as a general nurse at the Alfred Hospital, Prahran then went on to complete her midwifery training at the Mercy Hospital for Women, East Melbourne.

She has completed studies in family planning, infertility, immunisation, wound management and just for something different, horticulture @ Burnley Horticultural College. She completed her Breast Care Nurse studies through La Trobe University in 2015 and has attained a Level 1 Lymphoedema qualification through Lymphoedema Education and updates on breast cancer related lymphoedema through the Alert Program @ Macquarie University.

Her working life has mainly focused on Women’s Health, working in gynaecology/oncology, operating theatre, midwifery, antenatal education, infertility and general practice. She was President of the Fertility Nurses of Australasia in the early 2000’s where she was involved with the education and the rapidly evolving art and science of fertility nursing.

Victoria values being a part of a specialist multi-disciplinary team which she believes delivers optimal patient care and VBOC supports this ethos perfectly. Victoria engages a relaxed, personal approach to provide information, education, guidance and support to put patient’s at ease and help reduce stress at an incredibly difficult time for them and their loved ones.

In her time away from work, Victoria is generally found in the garden, on the tennis court, practicing yoga, walking, cooking, travelling to interesting places or spending time with family and friends in central Victoria. She has a very supportive husband, 3 children and 3 grandchildren who she adores!
