At Momentum Collective, we’re thrilled to have a team of exceptional people, each bringing their unique skills to the table. This incredible talent pool creates fantastic opportunities for career progression, especially for those eager to take on new challenges and climb the career ladder!
Take our Tweed Heads office as an example, with several staff members recently getting promoted. Let’s meet four of our amazing people: Debbie, Junifer, Kobee and Tracey. They’re all about dedicating their skills to different parts of our organisation.
Debbie, a Former Farmer
Debbie’s career path has been anything but ordinary. Once a banana farmer, she recently got promoted to our Client Intake and Assessment Coordinator. After leaving farming due to environmental changes, Debbie found her calling in healthcare, driven by her love of helping others.
She joined Momentum Collective as a Disability Support Worker in 2022, where her dedication and passion quickly led her to become the Coordinator for Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses.
“I felt I could advocate more for the clients and my team if I were in a more managerial role,” Debbie says. With this goal in mind, she kept pushing herself to learn and grow.
Debbie continues to embrace new challenges and she loves supporting others. Her motto? Always ‘go for it’!
Junifer is also our new Client Intake and Assessment Coordinator on an exciting career journey. She started as a Support Worker and gained a wealth of experience in homelessness, aged care and mental health roles before landing her current position at Momentum Collective. Throughout her journey, she’s polished her communication skills through various channels.
“Since starting the client intake role, I’ve developed better online communication skills, and my customer service on the phone has become more professional,” says Junifer.
She finds it incredibly rewarding to see clients build their confidence and independence, especially when they reach their personal goals. This fulfilment fuels her passion for making a positive impact in the community.
Looking ahead, Junifer is focused on improving service accessibility and streamlining intake processes to ensure clients get the support they need more efficiently. She’s committed to helping Momentum Collective grow, especially in the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast regions.
Junifer, Making a Positive Impact
Tracey, Never Giving Up
With over 15 years of experience in child protection and domestic and family violence, Tracey is driven by a deep commitment to supporting communities and families in need. As the Team Leader for the Aboriginal Homelessness Prevention Services (AHPS) team at Momentum Collective, she draws on her experiences as a foster mother and parent to a child with disability to shape her approach to work.
“I am a person who will never give up. I will continue to advocate and get the best outcome I can for anyone,” says Tracey.
Her most rewarding experiences come from seeing families and individuals achieve their goals and leave our programs with smiles on their faces. She believes that “taking small steps in life makes a big difference for someone”, and she lives by this daily.
Tracey values the friendships and support from her colleagues, who have helped create a positive work environment. She’s excited to keep building a team based on trust and supportive guidance, making a meaningful impact in both her personal and professional life.
Kobee’s journey began with inspiration from her mother, a Registered Nurse. She started in children’s services before moving to aged care as an Assistant in Nursing.
“My mum suggested I try aged care because I felt I could relate to and build strong relationships with older clients, and I loved to listen to their great stories,” Kobee says.
Her connection with the older people led her to become a disability Support Worker, where she discovered her true passion. Over time, she’s worn nearly every hat in the support field, building a deep understanding of disability services and developing her leadership skills. After successful roles as a Support Worker and Case Worker, she quickly advanced through various positions before joining Momentum Collective in 2023 as a Service Manager.
Now, as our Client Intake Manager, Kobee is eager to expand her impact by building broader networks and referral pathways, helping Momentum Collective grow. Her career progression reflects her dedication to positive changes in clients’ lives, driven by strong leadership and teamwork.
