BHCI Board

Jenny has been on the board of BHCI since 1989 and has been an active contributor to end of life care since she completed her Certificate in Palliative Care Studies. She has been involved during that time in the training of the Hospice volunteers and has also conducted training for Health professionals and facilitated workshops and seminars for community members.

Coming from a Counselling background, Jenny has specialised in work with the dying and in grief, loss and bereavement. She has worked as director of South West Counselling and has had her own counselling practice. Jenny has a real commitment to the principle of compassionate palliative care and of the inclusion of volunteers in clinical care at the end of life as it ensures that those receiving care experience a feeling of community inclusion.

Tamsin is a General Practitioner who has been working in Busselton since 2014. She has clinical interest in Palliative Care and is passionate about improving access to End-of-Life and Bereavement services within the Busselton community.

As a result of this recognition, she joined the BHCI Board in 2021 so that she could help develop the services for the community and retain the essential connection between the organisation and Primary Care.

Tamsin has recently been successful in gaining a place on the Busselton Inclusive Communities WA (BICWA) program and has taken an interest in the Governance area within the organisation.
