Women have shaped The District Nurses from the very beginning.
Our organisation was founded in 1896 when Lady Georgina Jane Gormanston called a public meeting to establish Hobart’s first district nursing service.
Our earliest leaders and nurses expanded that mission into Tasmanian homes with courage and compassion.
That legacy of women’s leadership continues to define who we are today.
