Iris

Occupational Therapist

The most joyous moments for me are surprised and fulfilled look on people’s faces when they try the assistive aids that they never thought such a small piece of equipment will make such a big impact in their daily life.

I joined Empower Healthcare in January 2021 and have been working as a home care occupational therapist across Melbourne.

I appreciate the opportunities to help vulnerable individuals to achieve their goals of being able to participate in the things they want and/or need to be able to do on a daily basis as well as achieve a healthy and meaningful life. That reminds me why I fell in love with occupational therapy in the first place.

During my time working as a community occupational therapist, I have already found the profession to be fascinating and rewarding, and I am very proud to have chosen this as my career path.
