My Support for Your Journey
At Advance Care Consulting, I understand the profound challenges faced by individuals, families, and carers during times of serious illness and end-of-life planning. My services are designed to provide compassionate support, ensuring that every client feels heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.
My Unique Approach
With years of experience in cross-cultural healthcare settings, particularly in remote Australia, I am dedicated to providing culturally safe and inclusive care. I respect all cultural and religious beliefs, ensuring my services are tailored to meet diverse needs without judgment.
In addition to providing in-person support in North Queensland Australia, I also offer online consulting services via Zoom. This allows me to extend my expertise to a wider audience, ensuring that individuals, families, and carers can access the support they need, regardless of their location.
Additionally, I offer mentoring and training for healthcare staff in Advance Care Planning, sharing my expertise to enhance skills in this essential area. My collaboration with the public health system allows me to provide personalized services that are not limited by financial constraints, ensuring that every client receives the care they deserve.​
