Elle Crighton,

Ellecare

I am an Endorsed Midwife, Nurse Practitioner and Diabetic Nurse Educator. I graduated from my nursing degree in 1995, and since this time have completed a diploma in aged care, midwifery qualifications and masters of midwifery in 2002, as well as child health qualifications completed in 2010. I became a Nurse Practitioner in 2017.

Much of my working career has been spent in rural hospitals and women’s health in the Northern Territory and Victoria. Being a Midwife and Nurse Practitioner allows me to offer a higher scope of service and care to my patients. Rather than just prescribing medication, I am able to offer holistic primary health care with a wide array of skills.

My aim is to help women with diabetes, nutrition, pregnancy, contraception, weight loss and metabolic issues. Telehealth appointments allow me to offer my clients access to exceptional services no matter their location.
