Wilma has come from a similar role at CQUniversity Sydney, while Kellie (human resources), Pam (welfare) and Jo (social work) also have relevant experience.

The team will assist prospective and current students (on campus and externally) with career planning to allow them to make realistic decisions about occupation and program options.

The team will also help students with employment preparation.
