I am proud to advise on the back of the Government announcement of the new 2 year term of the Regional Jobs Committees I have been successful in being appointed as the Volunteer Chairperson for the Redlands Regional Jobs Committee.

Supported by the Redland City Chamber of Commerce and working alongside our amazing Project Manager Kate Adams and a group of extremely passionate volunteer committee members we look forward to delivering some great outcomes connecting employers with jobseekers in our region.

The Crisafulli Government is delivering a fresh start for Regional Jobs Committees, who met in Brisbane this week to mark the start of a revitalised program.

Another networking opportunity this morning attending Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce Breakfast event.

Privileged recently to be able to present a topic to Redlands business owners on creating a great workplace culture.

Last Friday, the Redlands business community came together for an event packed with clarity, confidence, and compliance. The ‘Expert Advice: HR - Legal - Wellbeing’ event brought local operators, leaders and team managers face-to-face with real-world strategies to manage staff and themselves more effectively.
Hosted by the Redlands Regional Jobs Committee, the morning featured powerful, practical sessions delivered by three highly respected experts:

Des Kerr (People & Culture Consulting) shared how to build a high-trust workplace culture where people stay, perform and thrive.

Ben Schefe (McCarthy Durie Lawyers) guided attendees through the common traps and legal risks of performance management and how to stay compliant.

Dr Tom Hannan (Evolve Wellbeing Psychology) helped business owners reflect on their own wellbeing and offered grounded strategies to support psychological safety in the workplace.

What made this event different? It wasn’t theoretical. It was straight-talking, expert-led advice tailored for real Redlands businesses.

✔️ Practical tools
✔️ Lively discussion
✔️ Valuable networking

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, shared insights and contributed to the conversation. And a huge thanks to our three expert speakers who delivered exactly what our local business community needed.

The Redlands Regional Jobs Committee is proudly supported and funded by the Queensland Government.
