Meet the On Track Team

Meet Trish,

Trish graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (first class honours) in 2023. Trish has always had a passion for working in paediatrics and helping support and empower families. Before starting her degree, Trish had a broad range of experiences in different roles, helping children at schools and working in childcare centres. She has lived experience as the mother of three amazing neurodivergent children.

Trish enjoys helping children and their families improve their independence and overall well-being. She believes in an empathic, collaborative and strengths-based approach to support children in reaching their therapy goals.

Outside of work, Trish loves being in nature, visiting the beach, reading, cooking, bike riding and spending time with her children, friends and family. 

Meet Tilly,

Tilly has a happy, caring, and bubbly personality and is here to help families with all administration and booking enquiries and paperwork. She has worked in childcare for 8 years absolutely loving children and working with their families that come into the clinic. 

Her hobbies include music and singing, art, cooking, gardening, and anything to do with the outdoors. She also loves being a mum and step mum to two little girls, and finds being a parent and helping little people grow and learn so rewarding and wonderful.

Meet Michelle,

Michelle grew up in country Victoria and enjoyed being in the outdoors. Before deciding on her carer path, she was a Learn to Swim Instructor, Lifeguard and Outdoor Adventure Guide and enjoyed kayaking, underground caving, hiking, camping and multi pitch abseiling courses. She also enjoyed a good bike ride – motorised or manual. Her favourite time of the year was winter where she got to slice up the hillside on her skies or snowboard and snuggle up next to the fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa.

Michelle's Occupational Therapy carer started in 2014 when she graduated with a bachelor's degree from Deakin University in Geelong. She first worked for a company supporting small children with Cerebral Palsy in a 12-month graduate position. Here she developed her skill set for evaluation and scripting of specialised equipment.

From there, Michelle transitioned to working in Early Intervention Services and Special School Education Supports. It was here she developed a passion for outreach services and supported a range of young people with physical needs, cognitive impairments, and neurodiversity.

Michelle has worked in clinical settings for a short time while starting a family of her own, however, quickly returned to being out on the roads. Michelle started at On Track Healthcare in September 2022 and consults with a range of young persons and adults in her role as an Occupational Therapist.

The most rewarding part of her job is working closely with families and being a part of positive life changing moments.
