Lisa was diagnosed with lung cancer soon after the birth of her second child in 2014. At the time, she joined a clinical trial to treat her lung cancer.
After being aware of the limited options and access to treatments for lung cancer patients in Australia, Lisa began to work with the major players in the field, and advocate for access to medicines.
She met with the federal health minister in 2016, created a tip sheet to help patients with their submissions about accessing medicines, and has been influential in driving equitable change to authorisation of prescriptions.
Since 2014, Lisa has been a voice of change in the lung cancer community, challenging Australia’s perception of the disease and working to ensure patients get the best outcomes.
