Meet Anna! Anna moved to Australia from the Philippines in 2011 and started working at Afea soon after. As an Afean with an 11-year tenure under her belt, she has seen it all and has, more or less, done it all! She contributed to Afea’s success as a receptionist, Care Coordinator and Team Leader before moving onto a number of leadership positions, including her current role as Quality & Risk Manager. You can see her full Afea journey in our Culture Book!
In her role as Quality & Risk Manager, she ensures the organisation meets the quality and risk standards requirements and provides support and guidance to management and staff regarding the industry-related legislations and regulations.
When she’s not at work, she spends quality time with her family and enjoys camping, swimming and embarking on bush and nature walks.
