Today, we celebrate the remarkable career of Maria Papa, who is retiring after more than 21 years of dedicated service to the Hellenic Community Aged Care. 💐
Since joining our team in 2004, Maria has brought warmth, kindness, and laughter into every room she’s walked into. As our Staff Education and Professional Development Officer, she’s guided and supported generations of aged care professionals with patience, care, and her signature bright smile.
At her farewell lunch today, the staffroom was overflowing with stories, hugs, and heartfelt wishes. It was a true reflection of how loved Maria is by her colleagues, our residents and their families and the wider Hellenic Community.
It’s people like Maria who remind us what community really means: showing up with compassion, bringing positive energy wherever they go, and making every day brighter for those around them.
Thank you, Maria, for your years of dedication and care. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy will continue to inspire our Hellenic Community for years to come. 💛
