Vicky completed her medical degree at The University of Melbourne in 1997. Her subsequent career in general practice work took her to rural Victoria, to outback NSW with a stint with the RFDS for 2 years, and to remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory and Queensland. She came to know people and communities with difficulties accessing medical services due to various barriers of distance and culture. Having settled in Perth and working in general practice, she has now joined the team at Mobile GP. She seeks to improve the wellbeing of those marginalised in our society and believes there is much work to be done.
