Leigh Donovan is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales, specializing in bereavement in the context of pediatric oncology and palliative care. She graduated with a degree in Social Work in 2001 and has made significant contributions to the field, particularly in understanding the experiences and needs of parents whose children have died from cancer. From 2010 to 2016, she served as the Bereavement Coordinator at Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Queensland, Australia. During her tenure, she completed her PhD through UNSW's Behavioural Sciences Unit at the Kids Cancer Centre, where her research focused on the experiences of bereaved parents. Donovan has collaborated with organizations like Redkite and has published works including 'By Your Side', a collection of parent narratives aimed at shedding light on the means of bereavement for parents. In recognition of her contributions, she was awarded the Churchill Fellowship in 2017 to travel to various countries, including the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Sweden, and South Africa, to explore community-based bereavement care programs within pediatric hospitals. Her ongoing work seeks to inform the development of practice guidelines for pediatric hospital bereavement care in Australia.
