20+ Years Experience

Shirley completed her Bachelor of Social Work in 2005 at the University of Western Australia. She has spent her career as a health social worker, specialising in cancer care since 2009. Shirley has worked at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth in both inpatient and outpatient settings then moved regionally to join the Kimberley Cancer Service in the north west of Western Australia.

This rural experience, working largely with Aboriginal families & visiting people in their homes & communities has enriched Shirley’s skills & knowledge, confirming her passion for working in the cancer space.
