Jane, administration officer
I am a proud Torres Strait Islander woman. I enjoy working in an environment that provides care and support for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders in our community. I gravitated towards this type of work because I was caring for my family at the time and through this experience, I related to the work that Pinangba was delivering.
Kate, hospitality officer
I am a proud Quandamooka woman. I am passionate about looking after our Elders in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. I love nothing more than developing connections with our elderly residents to understand their dietary needs. It is important to me that our team provides a culturally safe environment for our residents.
Sally, registered nurse
I am a proud Jagera woman. It makes me happy seeing the positive impact I have on the clinical needs of the residents. I can see I make a difference in their lives. I came into health care as a personal carer after caring for my mother. I then decided I wanted to be a Registered Nurse and went on to complete the required study.
