Rebecca graduated from Deakin University, Geelong in 2004 with a Bachelor of Nursing and undertook her Graduate training at Epworth Healthcare Richmond where she developed her advanced nursing skills primarily in Perioperative Nursing for 7 years following this. Her passion to live on the land brought her back to her roots and returned to Echuca Regional Health where she studied and completed a double Master’s Degree, a Masters of Nursing (Perioperative) and the Masters of Nursing (Nurse Practitioner). ​ Nurse Practitioners are able to autonomously perform advanced physical assessments, order diagnostic tests, interpret the results of these tests, initiate referrals to relevant health care professionals and prescribe appropriate medications and other therapies as needed. Rebecca's passion is preventative health, conservative treatment, general surgical and weight loss surgery, orthopaedic surgery and sports injuries. There is no need for a referral to see Rebecca.
