Mary Ellen
Consultant Psychologist
I have been involved with Carelink since 2012 and work closely with the Director in sourcing external treating professionals and working collaboratively with clients and psychologists in recovery focused care.
I have a particular interest in community and social psychology and how people work together in teams.
I also really enjoy a good cup of tea.

I joined Carelink in 2018 as Care Coordinator and work in providing interdisciplinary care by bringing together the different health specialists necessary to assist in the wellness of our clients. I come from a background in holistic counselling and life coaching and am passionate about inspiring others and holistic healing.

My other interests include travelling and chasing waterfalls.
Kyra
Accounts Coordinator
I’m Kyra. I’m the Accounts coordinator. I love numbers and maths and I’ve been in Accounting & Finance for 3 years before working for Carelink. I was originally from Vietnam, then Canada, Sydney and finally Melbourne. Each place leaves me with precious experiences and memories.
​
I am a positive person and I can be quiet sometimes. But I love to talk a lot when you get to know me. My other interests include food and travelling. I really hope my skills and experiences will be of help to you.
