CURA’s Office Team provide caring and specialised support in scheduling the help you need and organising events to enrich daily life.
Our wonderful Support Workers also work their magic every day on the frontline, providing an unparallelled quality of individualised in-home assistance and culturally informed care to our clients.
I am delighted to be joining CURA In-Home Care as Chief Executive Officer and look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff, Board, clients, families, and community partners.
My career has been built within the community services and not-for-profit sectors, where I have been privileged to lead organisations committed to improving the lives of others. I am passionate about social justice, inclusion, and ensuring that people receive services that respect their individual needs, choices, and dignity.
As I commence this role, my focus will be on listening, learning, and building strong relationships with our clients, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders. CURA has a proud history of delivering quality care and support, and I am excited to work with the team to continue strengthening our services while remaining true to the values that make CURA such a trusted organisation.
I look forward to meeting many of you over the coming months and working together to ensure CURA continues to make a positive difference in the lives of older Australians and the communities we serve.
A quote that has guided me throughout my career is by Maya Angelou:
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
I believe this sentiment reflects the heart of quality care and the importance of the relationships we build with those we support every day.
