What was meant to be a temporary move turned into so much more.
When Gabby first moved to Kalgoorlie from New Zealand, it was only meant to be temporary. But over time, what she found at Full Circle Therapies - and within the community - changed that plan entirely.
âI originally came to Kalgoorlie with my partner when he took on a role in mining, and was drawn to Full Circle Therapies because of the facilities- especially the playground space, which has gotten bigger and better along with a brand-new building.
What was initially meant to be a temporary move turned into so much more. Even when my partnerâs role changed to FIFO, I didnât want to leave Kalgoorlie because of the opportunity I had at FCT.
I chose to stay because of what FCT offers- an incredibly supportive team, flexibility, genuine work/life balance, school holiday breaks, ongoing professional development opportunities, and a workplace model that really values its staff. Working in a smaller community has also meant Iâve been able to see the real impact of my work and feel like Iâm making a meaningful difference, which is something that can be harder to experience in metro settings.
One of the biggest things Iâve taken from my time here is the confidence that with the right support, team, and mindset, you can set big goals and actually achieve them. Being part of that growth- both professionally and personally- has been really rewarding.â
While Gabby has now moved back home to NZ, sheâs still very much part of the FCT team and continues supporting us as a supervisor from across the ditch đ¤
We feel incredibly grateful to have had a light like Gabby within our team and community. Her presence is deeply missed, and the impact she made during her time here was invaluable - not only for the children and families she supported, but for our whole team.
