If you’ve ever called Burnie Brae, chances are you’ve already chatted with one of these friendly voices! Now you can finally put some faces to those cheerful hellos.

👋 Meet Leanne!
(Not to be confused with our other Leanne 😋)

Leanne has been part of the Burnie Brae team for two years, starting out in Care Services before stepping into her new role in our Community Engagement Hub.

“I love talking to people, helping them and listening to their stories.”

She loves beach holidays, spending time with her three boys and playing netball.

💛 And say hi to Linda!

Linda joined the Burnie Brae team just a few months ago, starting out as a Support Worker. She first connected with Burnie Brae when we supported her mum through our home care services and she’s always wanted to be part of the team.

Now, she’s one of the friendly voices you’ll hear when you call, helping to direct your enquiries and brighten your day along the way. “I love to help people and I love a good chat!”

You’ll find Leanne and Linda at our Community Centre in Chermside, answering calls and welcoming members.
