United In Compassion

Lucy Haslam

Executive Director / Co Founder

Lucy is an retired nurse, who previously founded a fully accredited in-home nursing care company which grew from a one person operation to a staff of over 50 nursing and disability support workers, and included a respite centre and administration centre caring for over 200 patients.

Patients included low through to high support clients (24 hour care) such as quadriplegics, acquired brain injury, physical and intellectual disabilities, frail aged and palliative care. Care was delivered in the patient’s home, in group homes, in the respite centre.

As of August 2013, Lucy has spearheaded the movement to re-introduce Medicinal Cannabis into Australia.

Lucy witnessed the dramatic relief her son Dan gained from using Medicinal Cannabis, and Dan championed the cause alongside his Mother. Together they started a Change.org petition which gained over 252,000 signatures

In November 2014 Lucy organised the Inaugural UIC Medicinal Cannabis Symposium in Tamworth.
