Hear from our Team

Our people are what make Active Health Riverina special.
 Here’s what some of our team members have to say about working here:

Natarsha Bamblett’s Acknowledgement of Country at each of the 3 events at the MAV Technology conference where I was MC, was always fresh, appropriate for the setting and engaged and educated the audience. She made the audience feel like they were really part of the acknowledgement and not just observing. I would highly recommend it

Physiotherapist
Having flexibility at work is extremely important to me. Active has been very supportive and flexible in being able to work and fit in outside of work activities such as sports trainings in the afternoons and weekend sporting commitments. Now with having a young family, I also have the flexibility in my hours to work around school and daycare drop offs as well as being able to manage and move around my hours to go to the kids events at school, such as carnivals or award ceremonies. I’m really grateful.
Nicole Absolum
10 years at Active and Team Mentor
I have to admit that I originally did not consider paediatrics until my sister had her first baby in my last year of university. From then, I was hooked. At Active, your encouraged to follow your passion, because let’s face it, work is way more interesting when you love treating the clients that bring you joy. For me, those clients and children and their families and seeing them achieve their goals is the BEST!
Larissa Guaran
Lead Paediatric Physiotherapist
The Active team have been extremely supportive from my first day of employment. From day one there has been a number of opportunities for learning and professional development including hands on tutorials, observation, team meetings and in-services. Active is encouraging of both personal and professional aspects of each employee, assisting with goal setting and helping staff find their niche. Active emphasises the importance of maintaining a well rounded work-life balance and having a positive team culture. The Active family makes each one of us feel like an essential member of the team.
