Cecilia Webster, born in 1955, Victoria, Australia

  • Summary

  • In this interview, I talk to Cecilia Webster, from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. Although Cecilia describes herself as “ordinary”, I think she is anything but. Cecilia has kept a keen eye on the nursing profession, the environment, and aged care – all while raising 3 children, helping care for ill family members, and advocating at the grassroots for positive change in social policy.
