I have extensive experience working in BBV and sexual and reproductive health, focusing on improving access, equity, and outcomes for priority populations. I am currently the Viral Hepatitis Clinical Nurse Consultant with SESLHD Drug & Alcohol Services, responsible for the coordination and management of BBV and sexual health care for clients accessing AOD services across the district. My work is focused on integrating BBV and sexual health care into AOD settings, strengthening clinical pathways, and supporting multidisciplinary teams to deliver flexible and stigma‑free care that meets people where they are at.

Donna has worked at HepatitisWA’s NSP for nine years, beginning as a volunteer after the accidental overdose death of her sister inspired her to support others affected by drug use. She has extensive frontline and grassroots experience, she also now works as an Aboriginal Liaison Officer, helping bridge the gap for Aboriginal clients accessing non-Aboriginal-specific NSP and clinical services, including point-of-care testing (POCT). Donna also delivers POCT outreach as a trained operator, and facilitates yarning sessions at refuges and AOD services, creating culturally safe spaces for education, engagement, and support.
