Jubilee Community Care Inc is governed by a Management Committee. The Management Committee is elected each year by the members at the Annual General Meeting.
Committee members are volunteers who bring a wealth of experience, skills and passion to their roles on the committee.
The Management Committee operates under a charter which sets out the purpose, roles and responsibilities, delegations, culture, membership, meeting procedures, professional development and evaluation of the Committee of Jubilee Community Care Inc.

In November 2007 when I joined the Management Committee, my mother (then aged 90) was living with my husband and me. She lived with us for 8 years and, for the last 4½ years of her life, I was her full-time carer. For this reason I believe I understand and am aware of issues facing older folk who live at home or with their family, and their carer(s). I have a real concern and empathy for the well-being and status of older folk in our community, and their carers. I am committed to ensuring that the service provided by Jubilee Community Care is of the highest standard now and into the future and that our organisation is recognised as the preferred provider of innovative and flexible
homecare and
community care services in the inner north and western suburbs of Brisbane. I have been the President of the Management Committee since 2009.
My professional experience includes various roles and positions in the Queensland Public Service, first as a high school teacher, 13 years as a TAFE teacher, coordinator of a Dispute Resolution Centre, and more recently in strategic human resource management, corporate and strategic planning, ethics and corporate governance. In addition, I have conducted a number of significant research projects.
Human resources professional with multi industry experience across the commercial construction, open cut coal and metalliferous mining, heavy infrastructure and engineering, industrial manufacturing, and outsourced services sectors.
Successful track record of supporting executive teams in organisational change initiatives, and creating high performing HR teams. Operational and leadership experience across all areas of HR such as: industrial relations management and agreement negotiations, talent management & succession planning, remuneration management, recruitment, leadership capability development, organisational culture and change, international expat management, occupational health and safety, diversity, indigenous engagement, community relations and internal communications.
Lead HR functions covering Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, with inter-company exposure to the UK and United Arab Emirates.
Engineering trade with additional tertiary qualifications I can build trust and rapport at all levels having worked at the “coal face” and directly for C-Suite executives and various Operational Leaders. Experience gained in both listed and private companies I also was a Director and Board member for an industry superannuation fund, and successfully completed the Australian Institute of Company Directors course.
Now working in my own business, Established Easy HR Solutions, which I established in 2015 providing HR and IR services to employers across all industry sectors.
I have worked in the not-for-profit sector for more than thirty years, most recently for 18 years in a medical research institute. During this time I have held senior positions as Office Manager and Research Liaison Administrator and have been actively involved on several Boards of Management.
With a background in medical administration and in the midst of caring for an aged parent, I was particularly interested when invited to be involved in the Management Committee over three years ago. The service and care that Jubilee Community Care gives to the most vulnerable in our Western suburbs community, continues to impress me. It is a pleasure to work with such a professional organisation.
I have nearly 30 years experience as a professional accountant and financial manager within Queensland Government – Department of Transport and Main Roads. I am a member of the Finance and Treasury Association and hold the status Certified Finance and Treasury Professional (CFTP).
My parents are clients of Jubilee Community Care so I have seen first hand the valuable work done by the organisation in the community. After I retired, I joined the Management Committee. I see it as a worthwhile way of getting involved in an organisation that does so much good work in the community and provides such a valuable service to its clients.

Professionally I trained as a Secondary School teacher majoring in Business subjects. Over three decades I loved working in Government, Catholic and Independent education sectors. I have also been involved in various residential community welfare programs (mainly with marginalised young people), both in Australia and overseas.
I joined the Management Committee because I believe in using my skills and resources to enrich the community where I live. I’ve enjoyed interactions with older people from my childhood – family members, visitors and neighbours. The mission of Jubilee Community Care to support older people to remain living independently in their own homes resonates with the vision I have for my later years. I thoroughly enjoy my involvement with the amazing Jubilee Community Care community and believe that it adds a rich dimension to my life.
I am a Queensland Barrister practicing in Brisbane specialising in the following areas of law: Commercial, Personal Injury, Construction and Mediation.
