Christine has been a practising Social Worker for nearly 20 years. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, she moved to Australia in 2007 where she commenced her social work career at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, working within multi-disciplinary teams to provide psychosocial support to patients, their families and carers in both acute and sub-acute settings.
Christine has worked across various clinical areas including aged care, general medicine, rehabilitation, emergency department, and oncology/haematology. She appreciates the complex health and social issues that can affect a person following a major trauma and she is passionate about helping people to access the supports and services they need to optimise their health and social outcomes.
Using a trauma-informed approach, Christine can provide personal injury clients with emotional support as well as practical assistance and information as they navigate through their compensation process.
