Ruby Doolan
On first graduating from The University of Queensland in 2019, Ruby worked in the public health system at The Prince Charles Hospital in a variety of settings, including the orthopaedic, acute stroke and rehabilitation wards.

Hand Therapist
Meet Ruby
Ruby initially discovered her love of hand therapy while working in the Acute Stroke Unit at The Prince Charles Hospital. Since taking up a hand therapy role at SportsCare, Ruby has rapidly grown her specialist skills, seizing every opportunity to learn from the experienced hands team around her. At the same time, she is continuing to study towards becoming an Accredited Hand Therapist through the Australian Hand Therapy Association.
Ruby loves to travel, enjoys the great outdoors and can always be relied on to organise a good social occasion for the team!
