In this episode I speak with Rosemary, who came to social work later in life after first completing a Bachelor of Community Social Services, eventually graduating with both a Bachelor and Master of Social Work from the University of Sydney. Rosemary worked in mental health, children with disabilities and other areas before commencing her current role in haematology and bone marrow transplant at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, 23 years ago.
