From leading our team with passion to standing up for our community's needs, Hayley wears many hats, juggling lots of tasks on a daily basis. When she’s not reporting to the Board, she keeps a focus on our strategic goals, always seeking out new connections and ensuring our financial sustainability by making the most of what we've got. Proud to lead a team where fun and hard work go hand in hand, she makes sure we stay flexible, resilient and creative in how we tackle opportunities and challenges, so our community needs are always met.

Em's basically a human espresso shot: small, but packs a serious punch of energy (and volume). Need a task tackled? Just point her in the right direction.

With a background in media and publishing, her work with us now involves whatever it takes to keeps things running smoothly – making our brand look great, running fundraising events, fixing processes, organising staff parties or finding new systems to work more efficiently, she’s on it.

In her spare time she doesn’t sit still, always out meeting new people and keeping busy. A proud crazy cat lady, when she’s not mothering her fur babies you’ll find her busy little brain coming up with new ways to engage people with our cause.

With the most distinctive laugh in the office, it’s no wonder Cackles is Cath’s nickname. Always cheery and bright, she brings a lot of joy to us on the days she’s in, keeping our books in tip top shape – which is not an easy job with so much going on. On weekends she’s a committed babysitter for her grandkids but still manages to find plenty of time to see her friends for a wine or espresso martini or two. Cath has been our go-to for questions about budgets and dollars for many many years now and quite frankly, it’d be tough to get by without her.

First and foremost, Abbey is a proud cat-mum to Olive. Professionally however, before joining us, she honed her marketing skills at Wizard Professional Services. Beyond her marketing prowess, Abbey's a seasoned traveller, having explored 29 countries. She's passionate about amplifying our community's impact and growing our reach. When she's not crafting engaging content or planning fundraising initiatives, you'll likely find her baking up a storm, earning her the title of "baked goods queen." If her life were a movie, she'd be played by Joy from "Inside Out," radiating optimism and enthusiasm.

Sarah’s a good egg. We know this because she even shaved all of her hair off for a good cause once. Working previously as a support worker and registered nurse makes her the perfect Support Services Officer for us. Sarah loves holidays - we know this because she mentioned them in at least 3 of her staff profile questions. She also picked the cheeky willy wagtail as her choice of animal to come back as. She’s the point of contact for our community for individual advocacy, our Cough Assist Program and Counselling support, amongst many other things.

Josh has an impressive collection of board games and is a Jack-of-all-Trades with the tools to prove it. If he's not at the park with his two boys on the weekends you'll find him tinkering in the garage. He's known for his wise crackin' dad jokes and for always trying to find the positive in every situation. Josh applied for the position as he wants to give back and support his community (he’s been a member since 2017) - which is what we’re all about! Prior to starting with us, Josh worked as an NDIS Local Area Coordinator, which makes him well-equipped to be one of our very important System Navigators.

There seem to be some very common themes that run through our team here and Bryony seems to fit into quite a few of them. She’ll be at home discussing her obsession with cricket with Mark and Piper, indulging in our epic birthday cheese platters with everyone and singing along to our “we love our jobs” ditty that can be heard around the office. We are unofficially appointing her as our Office Medico given her aim is to one day be a paramedic. On weekends she’s 24/7 at the netball court filling many roles including player, umpire, mentor and committee member (are you exhausted, cos we are?). Her spirit animal is an Otter as she loves a good hug and I’m sure you’ll enjoy one of those from her in her role as Community Programs Officer whilst Brooke is on maternity leave.

Kymberley brings a dynamic blend of experience and enthusiasm to our team. Beyond her professional achievements, including time at Variety WA, she also holds a self-awarded, if slightly unconventional, beer mat flipping record. Kym focuses on creating engaging programs for school-aged children, fostering independence and connection. Reflecting on her school days, she admits her Year 7 teacher would likely recall her as a delightful, if somewhat chatty, student. Outside of her four workdays in the office, she enjoys hiking, cooking, and spending time with her family.ption
