Profile
Australia
Elaine Ashworth's background is in physiotherapy and she has spent many years working in a range of clinical and management positions in Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia and the United Kingdom. Most of this time has been spent in rural and remote areas, including 2 years in Mount Isa developing an Allied Health service to remote communities spread over 370,000 sq km of North West Queensland. She 'retired' from the position of Principal Allied Health Advisor for Country Health SA 2 years ago and since then has enjoyed a good balance of recreation (with lots of travel and messing about in boats on the beautiful Murray River) and freelance project, consultancy and locum work in a range of exotic places.
