I worked alongside Janette at Aged & Community Services Australia for close to two years. In that time I saw her not only excel at core elements of her job – like managing the divisional CEO’s calendar and executive officer support to the Board of Directors - but also learn other tasks that extended well beyond her role like accounts receivable/payable and winding down a small office to enable amalgamation to a national entity. Janette adapted quickly as the organisation restructured and her ability to take on new responsibilities demonstrates her resilience and professionalism. Janette also has a generous nature – she often brought in fruit from her garden to share with our team; a wonderful sense of humour and a great deal of integrity. I enjoyed working with Janette and I know she would be an excellent addition to any organisation.
