asmina is the Surgical
Oncology (Breast) Fellow at
Peter Mac, where she manages
predominantly female patients
with breast cancer. Her practice
involves operating, presenting at
multidisciplinary meetings, teaching
and research, and of course, spending
time with her patients at breast
clinic. She is also the mother of a
two-year-old daughter (Sophia).
Jasmina was aged just 14 when she
arrived in Australia on a refugee
visa in 2001 from her homeland of
Bosnia via Germany, off the back of
the civil war that occurred between
1992 and 1995. In 2008, she cofounded social change not-for-profit
Footprints Enterprise, and in 2022
received AMA Victoria’s Doctor of
the Year Award. Jasmina’s career in
medicine was inspired by witnessing
firsthand the bravery and altruism of
medical relief teams as they tended
the wounded on the streets of her
war-torn city, Brcko.
