Introducing NWRH General Manager Wellbeing- Ann-Marie

Based out of our North West and Lower Gulf offices find out what makes our 'Wellbeing Warrior' a regular breath of fresh air
🧡💙💛

Tell us a little about your professional background?
I started out in Early Childhood education but always had a passion for Social Work and Community Services. Now I get to lead our incredible Wellbeing Team across the some of the most remote parts of Queensland– and I love every minute of it!

Why did you choose this role?
I started with NWRH as a Wellbeing Clinician in 2019. I’ve always been passionate about helping people and supporting communities to thrive. The role gave me the perfect chance to combine my love for working with people with the opportunity to travel to remote communities and experience the incredible places and stories that come with it.

What do you do in your role?
I support the Wellbeing Team to deliver early intervention programs across the North West and Lower Gulf. This includes overseeing program delivery, coaching staff, managing resources, and collaborating with local stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and outcomes.

How does your role assist NWRH clients and staff?
My role is all about supporting the team so they can focus on what matters most – clients. I clear the roadblocks, cheer them on, and make sure our programs are shaped by what our communities actually need.

What's the favourite part of your role?
Seeing the difference we make every single day – the little wins, the big wins, and the smiles along the way.

Any fun interests and hobbies outside of work?
You’ll usually find me having a laugh and a good chat with my three adult kids and my grandson – they’re my favourite people!
