Mary-Claire Hanlon

Dr Mary-Claire Hanlon was born the youngest of nine children and grew up in Newcastle, a coastal city just north of Sydney in Australia. Mary-Claire went to Sydney to seek her fortunes (or distractions, depending on your view) when she was aged 19, and returned to Newcastle to be nearer her parents when she was 30. Although no fortune found her, in the material sense, her life has been blessed with the other treasures - beloved family, dear friends, good health, great education, and the experiences of travel and vocation. She completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours in Psychology) as a mature-age student, followed by a PhD (Psychiatry), and has attained various other academic achievements. She has over 15 years' experience providing clinically diagnostic, cognitive, intellectual and functional assessment of persons aged 16 years and over, and has conducted research since 2003.
