Joanna (Jo) Sutton

Registered Nurse

I have worked in IVF/Infertility in Brisbane, in operating theatres and in clinical research. I have been nursing for most of the previous 30 years, and moved to Cairns in 2008 with my family. My son is the result of IVF treatment in Brisbane in 1994- things have certainly changed since then!

What do you like most about your job? Infertility is such an exciting and interesting field to work in- advancements and improvements in treatment occur regularly. Having been an IVF patient myself, I feel I can offer real empathy to our patients. The Cairns QFG staff is very passionate and committed - a team I am proud to be part of!

What do you like most about living in Cairns? The weather, the lifestyle, the reef and the rainforest! I also love spending time with my family and friends. Living near the beach is a huge advantage.

Name 3 people you'd want to have dinner with? Any of my precious ?old? Brisbane school and work friends- I don?t see enough of them!
