Safer Care Victoria; Australia





I come from a non-English speaking background, of Russian descent, but I was born in China and came to Australia as a refugee. I have worked in health services, in community health, and a women’s hospital, in consumer engagement roles. I have an interest in advocating for the needs and equitable access of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and have applied these learnings, to professional roles in Emergency Services, and all three levels of Government in Australia. I have been part of the initial team and stakeholders to develop the Victorian framework for the implementation of the 4Ms.
