Our Lead Clinicians

Amanda is known for her approachability, devotion to patient care, and masterful ability to harness modern technology, especially social media, to support her patients and share her passion for oral medicine. Amanda completed specialist training at the University of Western Australia, and her understanding of oral medicine became personal when a family member developed oral cancer. When Amanda completed her training, she was even more motivated to help others. Today, she is happy to support patients in her role as a clinician at POMDSC, and with her public appointment at the Oral Health Centre of Western Australia.

That year, she was involved in the Australasian Sleep Association mentorship program, helping guide her professional path.

Today, she carries on assisting her peers, students, and patients by teaching and raising awareness for oral medicine at the University, on social media platforms, dental forums, and special interest pages. Amanda dedicates her energy to supporting community causes. She is a Director of the Jaye Radisich Foundation and on the committee of Healing Smiles, a volunteer organization providing pro-bono treatment to domestic violence victims. Amanda’s hard work paid off when her project on Improving Compliance in Head and Neck cancer patients received a Wrigley Company Foundation ADHF Community Service Grant. She has been awarded the Fellowship of the Pierre Fauchard Academy for services to the profession.
