Annette was welcomed to the Painrehab Georgius Practice in 2019, and values that it is a supportive and collaborative team where professional growth is nurtured and the shared goal is excellence in
patient care. Her primary role is that of patient advocate, providing patients and their caregivers with the support and education they need to participate effectively in their own rehabilitation and recovery process. Her goal is to do this with respect, empathy, compassion and patience. She assists patients navigate the individualised multidisciplinary pain management program Dr Georgius prescribes and provides information and education in pain, medication, pain procedures, rehabilitation, scrambler
therapy and medical cannabis. Additionally, she is the Clinical Research Coordinator for Sunshine Coast Clinical Research (SCCR) and supports Dr Peter Georgius in his role as its Principal
Investigator. She is responsible for facilitating and coordinating clinical trial activities and has Good Clinical Practice Credentialing, which equips her to fulfil her duty to protect patients and ensure the integrity of clinical trials.
She began her career as a Neonatal and Paediatric cardiac nurse at the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane and went on to complete a Cardio-thoracic Nursing Certificate, working in cardiothoracic intensive care and high acuity areas, caring for neonates, children and adult parents for much of her career. Her Clinical Research experience was gained whilst residing in London and working as a
research nurse at the Guys Drug Research Unit.
Fun Facts: More than anything Annette loves walking on the beach, swimming and building sandcastles with her beautiful grandchildren. She visited the USSR and East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and travel remains a passion. Her grandfather was the “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” and thought to have healing and psychic powers – she likes to think she has a few of those powers.
