Home Care Manager
Having received a Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy in 1999, I first began working in Home Care with Vision Australia in Bendigo in 2005. I then joined the team at Southern Cross Care in Lynbrook as a Care Manager in Home Care where I stayed for five years before launching the Home Care program at Cumberland View in 2013.
“I enjoy having clients who reside both within the Independent Living Village as well as the greater community and consider it a privilege assisting them to remain well, safe and independent in their own home(s).”
