Katey Ashburner

Support Nurse Coordinator

As MADDA’s Support Nurse Coordinator, Katey provides dedicated support to individuals and families impacted by mesothelioma.

Katey brings with her more than 25 years’ nursing experience. Over her career Katey has gained valuable skills working in the areas of Haematology, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology which has provided her with a comprehensive understanding of a wide range of treatment modalities and approaches. 

Over the past 12 years she has specialised in Palliative Care nursing. Her expertise in this area, combined with her broad experience in cancer nursing, equips her with a strong foundation to provide support and guidance to our MADDA clients and their carers with compassion and empathy. Katey has also contributed to WA Health projects with a focus on advance care planning and can bring this knowledge to the role.

She will be leading our Support Service offering phone and in-person support every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8.30am to 4.30pm.

For support, Katey can be contacted on email: katey@madda.org.au or via mobile on 0429 997 760
