About Louise

"I graduated as a Occupational Therapist from the University of Newcastle in 2005.  

I grew up in remote NSW and have lived and worked in rural NSW since 2005.  

I have worked as a case manager with icare since 2011. I thoroughly enjoy case management, working along side participants, their families and treating teams. I enjoy contributing to coordination of injury related needs and problem solving as unexpected things may arise. I appreciate that all people are very different, their values, needs, preferences and injury related needs vary, despite the injury or circumstances.  

I love working in a team, I feel that communication is of high importance and listening to peoples preferences and concerns is crucial.  

I take great pride in linking in with specialist services to ensure we are providing high quality services for people in rural areas. 

My family and I love living in Gunnedah. I enjoy traveling around our beautiful landscapes and working with people in their own environments. I understand the limitations and advantages of rural communities and the need for flexible and creative practices.   

Focus on Function is based in Gunnedah. We cover our surrounding areas providing occupational therapy and case management services. Our team lives and works in the wonderful towns we cover. We are a team of experienced therapist with a high value of community, collaboration, high quality clinical services, compassion, professionalism and authenticity."
