Born in [[Narrandera]], New South Wales, Bashir graduated from the [[University of Sydney]] in 1956 and held various medical positions, with a particular emphasis in psychiatry. In 1993 Bashir was appointed the Clinical Director of Mental Health Services for the Central Sydney Area Health Service, a position she held until appointed governor on 1 March 2001. She has also served as the [[Chancellor (education)|Chancellor]] of the University of Sydney (2007–2012).

Upon graduating in 1947, Bashir studied at the [[Sydney Conservatorium of Music]], becoming a proficient violinist.<ref name=Clune615/>

Bashir completed the degrees of [[Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery|Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery]] (MBBS) in 1956 at the University of [[Sydney Medical School]], residing at [[The Women's College, University of Sydney|The Women's College]] from 1950 to 1955.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1955 |title=1955 Senior year book, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney |url=https://digital.library.sydney.edu.au/nodes/view/11885?keywords=&lsk=efb5ff31fda94783b54602619dc08f27#idx321574 |access-date=23 May 2022 |website=University of Sydney Digital Collections}}</ref> In 1959, she was elected to the College Council, became Honorary Secretary in 1960 and was Chair from 1982 to 1990.

==Medical career==

Upon her graduation in medicine, Bashir took up a posting as a junior resident medical officer at [[St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney|St Vincent's Hospital]] and then to the [[Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children]]. After first living in [[Elizabeth Bay, New South Wales|Elizabeth Bay]], Bashir and Shehadie moved their family to [[Pendle Hill, New South Wales|Pendle Hill]] in Western Sydney, where Bashir worked as a [[General Practitioner]]. However, wanting to assist people suffering from mental illnesses, Bashir eventually decided to take up postgraduate studies in Psychiatry. To make this easier, in 1968 Bashir and her family moved back into central Sydney to [[Mosman, New South Wales|Mosman]] on the North Shore, purchasing a [[Middle Harbour]]-waterfront house at 7 Shellbank Avenue for $57,000 from yachtsman Gordon Reynolds.<ref name=Clune6145>Clune & Turner (2009) pp.614–615</ref> This would be their primary residence until its sale in May 2020.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Macken |first1=Lucy |title=Dame Marie Bashir sells Mosman house, ending more than half a century ownership |url=https://www.domain.com.au/news/dame-marie-bashir-sells-mosman-house-957712/ |access-date=12 September 2024 |publisher=Domain.com.au |date=22 May 2020}}</ref>

When Shehadie was made [[List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Sydney|Lord Mayor of Sydney]], Bashir became the [[Lady Mayoress]] of Sydney from 1973 to 1975. In 1974 Bashir was named as "[[Australian Mother of the Year Award|Mother of the Year]]" by the NSW Child Care Committee and the National Council of Women (NSW), with Bashir noting "the fact that I, as a professional woman, was chosen as Mother of the Year points to the growing social acceptance of a working mother".<ref name="MOTY"/> When Shehadie was knighted in 1976, Bashir acquired the title '''Lady Shehadie''', a title she did not use, remaining "Marie Bashir" in professional life.<ref name="MOTY">{{cite news |title='Mother' award to Lady Mayoress |agency=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=26 September 1974 |page=12}}</ref> After completion of postgraduate studies in psychiatry, she was made a Member of the [[Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists]] in 1971, becoming a Fellow in 1980. From 1972, Bashir was a teacher, lecturer and mentor to medical students at The University of Sydney.<ref name=USyd>{{cite press release| title=Professor Marie Bashir elected University Chancellor| publisher=University of Sydney| date=30 April 2007| url=http://www.usyd.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=1687| access-date=21 January 2010}}</ref>

In 1972 Bashir was appointed Director of the [[Rivendell Child, Adolescent and Family Unit|Rivendell Child, Adolescent and Family Service]], which provides consultative services for young people with emotional and psychiatric issues, and oversaw the unit's moving to the former [[Thomas Walker Convalescent Hospital Buildings|Thomas Walker Convalescent Hospital]] in [[Concord West, New South Wales|Concord West]] in 1977 following its acquisition by the NSW Health Commission in 1976.<ref>{{cite news |title=Private hospital to be taken over |agency=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=22 November 1976 |pages=21}}</ref> In 1987 she was appointed director of the Community Health Services in the Central Sydney Area Health Service, which put emphasis on early childhood services, migrant and Indigenous health as well as the elderly.

In 1993, she was appointed as Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Sydney, and in 1994 as the Clinical Director of Mental Health Services for the Central Sydney Area. This was a time of major reform in mental health service delivery, which contributed to substantial change in the provision of public sector mental health services. She served until 2001.<ref name=USyd/> In her university role, Bashir is instrumental in developing collaborative teaching programs between colleagues in [[Vietnam]] and [[Thailand]] with Australian psychiatrists, chairing the [[University of New South Wales]] Third World Health Group (1995–2000) and supporting various financial and social support programmes for International students.<ref name=Clune617>Clune & Turner (2009) p.617</ref>

In 1995, in a partnership with the [[Aboriginal Medical Service]], [[Redfern, New South Wales|Redfern]], she established the Aboriginal Mental Health Unit, which provides regular clinics and counselling at both the Aboriginal Medical Service in Sydney and mainstream centres. From 1996, Bashir also took up the consultative role of senior psychiatrist to the Aboriginal Medical Service. As well as championing the health of indigenous Australians, Bashir also continued her focus on youth and juvenile issues, particularly through her terms chairing the NSW Juvenile Justice Advisory Council (1991–1999) and as consultative psychiatrist to Juvenile Justice Facilities (1993–2000).<ref name=USyd/> On 1 January 2001, Bashir was awarded the [[Centenary Medal]].<ref name=CM>[https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/1123499 Centenary Medal] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090803235548/http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/honour_roll/search.cfm?aus_award_id=1123499&search_type=quick&showInd=true |date=3 August 2009 }}, 1 January 2001, itsanhonour.gov.au</ref>

==Governor of NSW, other roles and honours==

In early 2001, on the recommendation of Premier [[Bob Carr]], [[Elizabeth II|Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia]], appointed Bashir [[Governor of New South Wales]], making her the state's first female governor, and the first governor of any Australian state of Lebanese descent. She was sworn in on 1 March 2001, and on 30 March she was appointed a [[Companion of the Order of Australia]] (AC).<ref name=AC>{{cite web |url=https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/885264 |title=Companion of the Order of Australia |date=30 March 2001 |publisher=itsanhonour.gov.au |quote='''Citation:''' In recognition of service as Governor of New South Wales |access-date=24 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129181435/https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/885264 |archive-date=29 January 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> Upon her appointment, ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]'' journalist [[David Marr (journalist)|David Marr]] noted, "what could be more valuable behind the scenes in Macquarie St than this woman's unique expertise with troubled adolescents?"<ref>D.Marr, ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 2 March 2001.</ref> Bashir's appointment was welcomed by both sides of politics and commended in a ''Sydney Morning Herald'' editorial as "an inspired choice" as well as noting that Bashir would be "a powerful advocate for the powerless".<ref name=Clune619>Clune & Turner (2009) p.619</ref>

In that role, Bashir departed from past practice. For [[Indigenous Australians]], Bashir launched a health initiative to support Indigenous medicine and nursing students as well as supporting the progress of [[Reconciliation Australia|reconciliation]]. On the very day of her inauguration, Bashir agreed to become Patron of the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service, which addresses mental and social issues in the [[LGBT]] community.<ref>{{cite web|title=Annual Report 2001-2002|url=http://www.glcsnsw.org.au/glcs-files/Annualreports/AnnualReport0102Reports.pdf|publisher=Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service of NSW|access-date=13 June 2014}}{{Dead link|date=December 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> This was the first time a NSW governor had supported a gay organisation. In 2005 Bashir opened the [[Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras]] Festival in a concert in [[Hyde Park, Sydney|Hyde Park]] and credited the event with fostering "that sense of freedom which springs from the considerable diversity within our society – diversity of race, religion, culture and also sexual orientation [...] We must never take these things for granted because most of you would agree that across the world today an extraordinary winding back to many previously discarded attitudes is taking place, not only affecting gay and lesbian groups, but women's health and many aspects of social justice".<ref>{{cite news|title=Concert opens Sydney Mardi Gras|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-02-05/concert-opens-sydney-mardi-gras/631368|access-date=13 June 2014|agency=ABC News|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=5 February 2005}}</ref>

From the time of her commencement as governor, Bashir, like her immediate predecessor, did not reside in [[Government House, Sydney]], retaining it for reception and official purposes. However, in October 2011, the new Premier [[Barry O'Farrell]] announced that Bashir had agreed with O'Farrell's offer to move back into Government House: "A lot of people believe the Governor should live at Government House. That's what it was built for ... [A]t some stage a rural or regional governor will be appointed and we will need to provide accommodation at Government House so it makes sense to provide appropriate living areas". However, because Government House has not been a residence for fifteen years, O'Farrell also announced that the Bashir would initially move into a smaller adjacent building, called the chalet, while refurbishments of the main wing occur, with a proposed move into the main house "before Christmas".<ref name=return>{{cite news |url= http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/governor-marie-bashir-makes-a-grand-return-home-to-government-house/story-e6freuzi-1226160666275 |title= Governor Marie Bashir makes a grand return home to Government House |newspaper= The Daily Telegraph |date= 7 October 2011 |access-date= 21 June 2012 |archive-date= 27 October 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111027134931/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/governor-marie-bashir-makes-a-grand-return-home-to-government-house/story-e6freuzi-1226160666275 |url-status= dead }}</ref>
