Join me as I sit down with Dannielle Orifici, a distinguished nurse leader and Co-Director for Women's Health, Genetics and Mental Health at the Women and Newborn Health service in Perth, Western Australia.

Dannielle shares her stories from her nursing journey and provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of women's healthcare.

Dannielle's extensive experience spans various acute mental health services across the North Metropolitan Health Service. With a postgraduate degree in Leadership and Management and her role as a Justice of the Peace, she brings a unique perspective to her advocacy work for women's mental health, reproductive rights, and birth trauma support.

In our conversation, we explore the diverse range of services available across the state which Danielle manages, including the Women and Newborn Health Service mental health program, Genetic Health WA, Sexual Assault Resource Centre, Women's Health Strategy programs, WA Cervical Screening Prevention Program, and BreastScreen WA.

Dannielle shares her passion for ensuring women have choices in their healthcare journey including complex care management for women at Women and Newborn Health Service.

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about the challenges and innovations in women's mental health, the importance of advocating for those without a strong voice in our community, and the future direction of specialised nursing care.
