Description

Jane Sullivan OAM’s career has spanned paid and unpaid work, community services and the health system, social work and psychology, church organisations and the public sector.  As she looks back over her career, it is her conversations with one group of people that stay with her.  These were the people who wanted to make the decision that no-one wants to have to make.
