Facilitated by:
Dr Bianca Forrester has lived and worked in the Geelong community for 15 years. She is a senior lecturer in Primary Care at the University of Melbourne and is also a lecturer at Deakin’s School of Medicine. In addition to her clinical work, she runs several communities of practice on issues including COVID care, family violence and youth mental health.

We’ll also explore their needs in regard to educational support and the value of comprehensive health and education assessments and care planning.
