Janine Mason   Registered Nurse See Me ACN

Janine discovered her love for community nursing in the metropolitan Sydney area of Canterbury in Sydney. Developing her skills Janine commenced in the role of Aged Care Assessor in an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). She has worked as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, Psychogeriatric Aged Care Nurse and Team Leader in ACAT and Rehabilitation teams in metropolitan Sydney including Auburn and Kogarah, and interstate teams in Canberra and Queensland.
