About Dr Emily Harrison

Dr Emily Harrison is a second-generation FACRRM living and working in Swan Hill, northwestern Victoria. Her mother, a Rural Generalist in Echuca, inspired her to become a Rural Generalist and join ACRRM.  

Emily studied medicine at Deakin University, graduating in 2011. She trained at Bendigo Base Hospital and completed her Emergency Medicine Advance Skill in Bendigo and Echuca. After completing her training in Mansfield, she became an ACRRM Fellow in 2017. Following this, Emily worked as a locum across rural and remote Australia until 2020, when she settled in Swan Hill. There, she worked in the Emergency Department as the Clinical Lead for three years and now works part-time as a Rural Generalist in the Emergency Department and local Headspace.  

Emily has been involved in diverse aspects of ACRRM, including as an examiner for StAMPs and REST course instructor. She represents RDAA on the ACRRM council and participates in the Respectful Workplaces Committee and the Emergency Medicine Working Group. She has also contributed to the college by creating HEART, a new course for ACRRM.  

Emily has many hobbies, including crafting. She can often be seen crocheting or embroidering during Zoom meetings. She also has a fat Cat named Walter and a new addition, a golden retriever named Winnie, who keeps her busy.
