Doctors’ Choice Medical Indemnity Advisers

10/03/2025

With International Women’s Day on Saturday being overshadowed in Western Australia by the State election, I want to take a moment to celebrate some of the brilliant, inspiring, caring and hardworking women I have the privilege of interacting with in the course of operating Doctors’ Choice.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of a network filled with these powerhouse women and I highly recommend them to everyone:
* Litsa Christodulou - partner of HLB Mann Judd, accounting and financial services firm
* Serena West - Partner/Senior Adviser of MBS Insurance Services
* Karoline Gover - Marketing & Communications Professional, Zento Group
* Ali Joyce - Medical & Dental Finance Specialist, Credabl
* Nicola Kavanagh - Private Practice Consultant https://nicolakavanagh.com.au/

Looking forward to working with you all over the next year!

And I can’t let International Women’s Day pass without mentioning the wonderful Sandy Dusting, my friend and co-founder of Doctors’ Choice, who retired from day-to-day operations in 2023. Sandy Dusting, two years later I’m still missing you every day but I’m so grateful for our regular catch ups. It’s such a privilege I don’t take for granted. Thank you Sandy!

Nicola Kavanagh is your partner offering a comprehensive service to help establish and grow your private practice

💙 World Su***de Prevention Day 💙
Today is a global observance uniting over 60 countries to reduce stigma, advocate for policy change, encourage help-seeking, and honour those impacted by su***de.
This year’s theme, "We all have a role to play," echoes the call to "Start the Conversation" to change the narrative on su***de. In Australia alone, nearly 10 million people have been touched by su***de; almost half our nation. I’ve been impacted by dear friends’ su***des and this, together with doctors having higher than average incidences of mental illness and su***de, is why Doctors' Choice chose Lifeline as our primary charity.
Lifeline does tremendous work in local communities as well as providing a broader commitment to the mental health and wellbeing of Australians. It provides excellent 24/7 crisis support and su***de prevention services and a host of other services for those who are at risk and in need of expert help.

The Crisis Supporter helped me through the pain and sadness. I am very grateful to them and Lifeline WA for being there when I needed it.

Today is World Blood Donor Day, and I’ve donated blood again!

If you’re eligible, please consider donating blood. The entire process takes less than an hour, with only about 10 to 15 minutes for the actual donation. It’s a small act with a huge impact.

After partly conquering my fear for my first donation last year, I felt more confident today and plan to donate more frequently.

Did you know:
* A single donation can potentially save up to three lives?
* 1 in 3 people will need blood in their lifetime?
* Every minute, three donations are needed in Australia?

Doctors’ Choice is proud to support Lights for Lifeline. Sadly, the festive season can be tough for many; in December Lifeline WA will receive 258 calls EVERY DAY from someone experiencing a personal crisis. Research shows that su***de can be prevented when people reach out for help. Donating to the Lights for Lifeline campaign helps Lifeline to answer as many calls as possible. Thanks for considering giving the gift of a life-changing conversation. You can donate here: https://wa.lifeline.org.au/lights-for-lifeline-wa/
