Dawn is well known in haemophilia nursing both in Australia and internationally, and has been very generous over her career and now in retirement supporting both other health professionals and the community.
She was the haemophilia nurse for many years in the Haemophilia Treatment Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and was instrumental in setting up the Australian Haemophilia Nurses’ Group. She also served on the Haemophilia Foundation Australia (HFA) Council.
Haemophilia Foundation Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia, the land, waters and community where we walk, live, meet and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
