A resident of Vincent, I have long appreciated its location, neighbourhood spirit and vibrancy. As an independent and recently-retired medical practitioner, I now offer my time, experience, and ideas to further the City's vision and strategies.

Especially those involving Community Services (e.g. child care development, aged care and accessibility); Environment and Land Use (e.g. open spaces, playgrounds, native flora, pathways and streetscapes, and community hubs); Business Support services and Crime Prevention.

Underpinning the 'Community Business Plan' and $861m budget requires sound governance, collaboration with other governments (e.g. road building, homelessness) and effective decision making.

I hold various medical qualifications and a PhD. Initially a GP, I specialised in Occupational Medicine including as Director of OH at SCGH and Oxford University. I have experience on many medical committees, WorkSafe's COSHWA and on school boards.

Married with 4 children and 6 grandchildren.
