Westside Haematology Oncology Clinic are a trusted team caring for patients with the latest advances in the field of Haematology and Oncology.
We are passionate about providing quality and co-ordinated care focusing on the individual needs of our patients and their families.
Helen Gorecki is a passionate and dedicated healthcare professional with a strong focus on delivering better healthcare models and excellence in patient care. Helen’s expertise in nursing and cancer care is admirable, having worked in Bone Marrow Transplant wards, surgical cancer care, and multiple day therapy units. Her experience and knowledge have given her a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by oncology and haematology patients.
Helen’s nursing career began in New York, where she worked in the emergency department and took on various cancer care roles. During this time, she completed her nursing degrees, becoming an Oncology Certified Nurse. Demonstrating her commitment to holistic patient care, Helen also pursued a Master of Science in Acupuncture, recognising the value of integrating complementary therapies into traditional cancer treatment.
Helen is also a Credentialed Infection Control Practitioner. This not only highlights her focus on patient safety but showcases her collaborative approach to healthcare, as infection control is a vital aspect of creating a safe and nurturing environment for patients and staff alike. In recent years, Helen’s passion for leadership and healthcare management led her to pursue an MBA with a focus on Leadership and Healthcare Management.
Patients and their families are at the heart of Helen’s approach to healthcare, and she goes the extra mile to make them feel at home and supported during their treatments. Her warmth, approachability, and respect for everyone she encounters have created a culture of trust and compassion, ensuring that patients and their families feel valued and cared for.
Outside of managing Westside Haematology and Oncology, Helen loves spending time outdoors with her husband and beloved pooch Teddy.

Emily enjoys the collaborative workspace our clinic provides, teaming up with her fellow administration staff, nurses and Managers to help achieve a seamless journey for our patients. She is a patient, kind and friendly person, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
You’ll find Emily out and about in nature camping and adventuring when not at work so be sure to share your own great outdoors adventures when you are next visiting.
Victoria loves conversing with our patients whilst ensuring the administration side of their treatment is well attended to. Having studied Psychology in addition to a Diploma in Practice Management Victoria is highly organised, and excels in the smooth daily operation of our patient bookings.
If you ask Victoria what she’s most passionate about in the 20 years she’s worked in healthcare it’s – patient care, communication and assisting her fellow colleagues. “I enjoy my team, the environment in which I work, the professionalism and the structure.”
Victoria is a keen traveller and creator of all things good, especially when it comes to motherhood and dining. She loves activities with her children and is an inspiration in the kitchen, sharing her marvellous food over dinner parties with family and friends.
