Diane is a physiotherapist with post-graduate training in the treatment of sports injuries.
She worked as the sole physiotherapist for twenty years at Campbell Barracks, Swanbourne (1984 – 2004), attending to the needs of injured SAS soldiers. She was part of a team of both civilian and military medical staff, within an Army Medical Centre.
Injuries to the soldiers were common due to the high level of fitness required, their extreme training methods and their involvement in overseas UN and combat missions. At times, soldiers were flown back from “conflict zones” (such as Rwanda, Iraq, East Timor and Afghanistan) for several weeks of intensive physiotherapy and then re-deployed into active service. This demanded a high level of expertise and commitment, both from the soldiers and from the staff of the Medical Centre.
Diane was also employed for ten years as a part-time Clinical Educator at Curtin University in the Graduate Masters Sports Physiotherapy programme.
Since 2005 she has worked as a physiotherapist in Private Practice (Bunbury, Subiaco, Shenton Park), at Inner Focus Physiotherapy and at Qantas. In 2012 she started her own business in West Leederville.
