Humbled and honoured to have presented at the 'In Her Corner' luncheon on Friday at Doltone House. It was an engaging audience with a shared commitment towards continued improvements in cancer care. I was grateful for the opportunity to discuss the importance of breast screening, outline our role in training surgeons here in Australia, and discuss recent innovations in breast surgery.

I am also deeply honoured to have been presented with a Certificate of Commendation from the NSW Parliament's Legislative Council. This great honour was in recognition of our work in women's health and I would like to thank those involved to have been considered for this 🙏

Special shout out to Aileen MacDonald OAM MLC, Natalie Ward, Vincent de Luca, Hollie Hughes, and Anna Cesarano for such a great event

Reflecting on Tuesday night's powerful charity auction 🎗️

Earlier this week, I joined ProMed Australia's "Evening of Pink" at Audrey Fine Art, and I'm still moved by what we accomplished together - over $16,000 raised for the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation.

As someone who works with breast cancer patients every day, I know the devastating impact this disease has on families. With 1 in 7 Australian women affected, events like this aren't just fundraisers - they're lifelines.

What struck me most was the genuine passion in the room. From the spirited bidding on Ted Lewis's beautiful artwork to ProMed's inspiring $10,235 contribution from their product sales, everyone understood we were part of something bigger than ourselves.

ProMed's approach particularly impressed me - their smoke evacuation pencils are making operating theatres safer while simultaneously funding breast cancer support. It's innovation with real social impact.

Knowing that 95% of funds raised go directly to patients through the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation - covering everything from medical technology to school shoes for children whose parents are in treatment - makes every contribution even more meaningful.

Proud to be part of a community that shows up when it matters. 💙

Thanks to 9 News Sydney for inviting us to speak on this important topic. Recent research infers that Australia has the highest rate of breast cancer in the world, however, we are fortunate here to have a national breast screening program that supports patients getting checked even before symptoms present. This leads to earlier diagnoses and improved patient outcomes. In 2023, BreastScreen NSW launched its 'Breast Cancer Doesn't Wait' campaign to encourage women to get their regular screening. At the beginning of this year, approximately 569,000 women in Australia were overdue to have their routine breast screen. If you or a loved one are due to have your check, don't delay and book yourself a free mammogram today
