What's Been Broken Is All the More Sharp

About the Author

Dr Dominique Lee is a cancer specialist based in Brisbane, Australia. A clinician, teacher, researcher, entrepreneur and advocate, she brings compassion and courage to every facet of her work. As a junior doctor, she made history as the first doctor to successfully win a criminal court case against a senior professor for sexual assault – a landmark case that broke the silence surrounding abuse in medicine. Her experience not only transformed her own life but also sparked a national conversation about safety, accountability and culture within the medical profession. Today, Dominique is a recognised leader in her field, known for her clinical expertise and contributions and her unwavering commitment to humanising healthcare. Beyond her professional achievements, Dominique is a passionate advocate for physician wellbeing and for survivors of sexual assault, dedicating herself to supporting and uplifting her colleagues while working to reshape the culture of medicine. She is the founder of HeyBoss!, a physician-wellbeing company that empowers doctors through evidence-based coaching, education programs and retreats. Her mission is to help doctors rediscover what first called them to medicine – connection, compassion and purpose. Beyond medicine, she is devoted to creating a roadmap for survival and renewal for those who have endured sexual violence – a map that turns suffering into strength, silence into voice, and survival into the beginning of something whole.
