Summary

Nurse Dora Bassett founded the Sunshine Association of Tasmania in 1938, an organisation dedicated to providing convalescent care to underprivileged and isolated children. Bassett worked to raise funds and plan the building of the Association's sea-side holiday home, but died in 1945 before it was built. The Association continued its work and the home opened in 1951. Baudinet had also served as a nurse with the 1st Australian General Hospital during the First World War in Egypt, France and England.
