Biography

Dawn Whittall's nursing career began in South Africa, with a focus on medical oncology nursing. After immigrating to Australia, she continued her work in general nursing across various specialty areas including oncology, urology, and orthopaedics. Her enduring interest in oncology and palliative care transitioned her into community nursing, specifically community palliative care and aged care. During her time in Victoria, she gained insights into rural community health and has since pursued research in this area. Currently, she is completing her PhD, concentrating on rural palliative care, signifying a crucial aspect of her professional development. Whittall's work explores the role of volunteer workforces complementing nursing roles in rural palliative care services. She is actively involved in her local community as a volunteer firefighter with the Country Fire Authority for over a decade. Her teaching role at Monash University facilitates the integration of her rich nursing experience into her education of new nursing students from diverse backgrounds, enhancing her contributions to the field.
