ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Dr Danielle Ko is a Melbourne-born medical professional who began her career as a professional indemnity lawyer before transitioning to medicine. After qualifying as a GP, she completed fellowships in palliative care and medical ethics at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General.

Since 2018, Dr Ko has been a palliative care specialist and clinical ethicist at Austin Health. Now the Divisional Medical Director of Cancer Services, she oversees oncology, hematology, clinical trials, and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.

Dr Ko is passionate about transforming cancer care by embedding evidence-based wellness programs from the start of the journey. She actively seeks fresh perspectives from beyond healthcare to drive innovative solutions in cancer care, research, and wellness and well-being programs, all with the goal of delivering truly patient-centered, holistic care.

On a personal note, after years of relentless lobbying by her two children, Dr Ko finally caved and got a dog. Now, she's the proud parent of Bernie—a furball who’s always keen for a family hug, and a walk along the Merri Creek.
