Our Team
CHA is proud to have a dedicated and enthusiastic team of staff working in our Canberra office. All staff work for both Children’s Healthcare Australasia, and our partner organisation, Women’s Healthcare Australasia. The majority of our team work part time amidst their commitments to study and/or parenting responsibilities.
All team members share a common passion for using their skills & knowledge to help our members to give the best possible care to children & families. They bring energy, creativity and agility to their work. Please don’t hesitate to contact any of our friendly staff on +61 2 6185 0325 if we can be of assistance.
