Care Coordination Team Manager

About Me
I have 25 years of experience in community home care as a Registered Nurse, including managing Home Care Packages (now Support at Home). Family is central to my life - I have five children and a granddaughter who keep me busy. In my downtime, I enjoy reading, swimming for exercise and watching a good true crime show.

My Journey into Aged Care
I’ve always loved caring for my grandparents, which inspired me to become a nurse and run my own home care business for seven years. I’ve recently reinstated my Registered Nursing registration and am enjoying the quieter work-life balance this role offers.

Why I Love What I Do
I’ve always loved home care - the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with clients and their families, to hear their stories and to support them in living their later years the way they want, is truly a privilege.

About Me
I have 19 years of experience in the care field and hold a Certificate 3 in Aged Care and Disability, along with Certificates in Case Management Skills and Team Leader Skills. Outside of work, I’m passionate about tennis, swimming, and spending quality time with my children and grandchildren. A fun fact: I represented Australia in Indoor Bias Bowls in 1999.

My Journey into Aged Care
My career in care began in 2006 when I saw a job ad for a domestic assistant and decided to give it a go. I loved helping clients and being part of their lives, which sparked my passion for aged care. That one decision has led me to where I am today, and I’m so glad I made it!

Why I Love What I Do
I’m passionate about helping clients stay in their homes and connected to their communities. I enjoy learning about their life stories and doing what I can to meet their needs and improve their quality of life. It’s incredibly rewarding to make a difference in their lives.

About Me
I hold a Certificate III in Individual Support and am currently completing a Certificate IV in Ageing Support. I enjoy travelling and exploring different cultures. I’ve been on 15 cruises since 2005! In my spare time, I enjoy the gym, spending time with family and friends, walking my chocolate Labrador and relaxing at home.

My Journey into Aged Care
I was inspired to work in aged care after caring for an older family member and seeing the importance of compassionate, quality support. I chose this field because it allows me to make a meaningful difference, helping people live with dignity, comfort and independence.

Why I Love What I Do
The most rewarding part of my role is building trusting relationships with clients and helping them feel respected, safe and valued. Knowing I can make a positive difference in someone’s day is incredibly meaningful to me.

About Me
I hold a Certificate IV in Community Services. In my free time, I love going to the gym and spending time with my family and pets, including my two dogs and cat. When the chance comes up, you’ll find me sailing away on a cruise ship.

About Me
I began my career in film printing, then moved into newborn photography, where I learned to connect with people at important life stages. Outside work, I enjoy family time, walking my dogs, karaoke, and balancing beach days with camping trips.

My Journey into Aged Care
Nearly ten years ago, I followed my passion for supporting older adults into aged care. I’ve worked in high-care dementia support and community care, focusing on personalised connections and working closely with families to deliver care with dignity and respect.

Why I Love What I Do
I’m proud to be a Burnie Brae Care Partner, helping clients maintain independence and live safely at home.

About Me
My experience spans disability support, aged care and paediatrics. My journey in healthcare eventually led me to complete my Diploma of Enrolled Nursing. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me watching the footy, playing softball or adding even more pineapples to the garden!

My Journey into Aged Care
Healthcare runs strongly in my family. My mum has worked in the industry for nearly 50 years, and my grandmother spent 40 years in aged care. I was convinced I wouldn’t follow in their footsteps, although they may have given me a few gentle nudges along the way! Eventually, I realised this was the career path for me, and I haven’t looked back.

Why I Love What I Do
What I enjoy most about healthcare is getting to know the people I support, hearing their stories, learning about their experiences and understanding what matters most to them. Building those connections helps me provide personalised care and support people to live well and independently.

About Me
I’m a Registered Nurse and Clinical Care Partner who enjoys a good cuppa, a chat and finding practical ways to make life a little easier. I value getting to know people and understanding what matters most to them.

My Journey into Aged Care
My nursing career began in hospitals, where I worked across stroke, palliative care, rehabilitation, medical and transition units, with a strong focus on older people. I’ve worked in Support at Home since it began, helping clients develop care plans and navigate their services.

Why I Love What I Do
I enjoy bringing my clinical experience into the home and finding the right support to help people stay safe, comfortable and independent. I’m very happy to be a part of Burnie Brae and find this work incredibly rewarding.
