A Word from Wendy

Hi My Name is Wendy Ferguson I would like to tell you about why I feel passionate about my job after many years of working at Jumbunna.

In 1989 I was blessed with my dream job at Jumbunna. I had during my studies realised that I wanted to work in the disability field.

I still remember children and families fondly over the years and have seen children return with their children to use our service as well.

Why do I love my job so much? Amazing team of colleagues (started with 5 staff and is now over 30),fantastic leadership, community support and most of all being able to support  children and families. I care about families and hope that I have been a support to many over the years.

I feel that my working environment has always been a professional and supportive one. We strive to improve and are open to change.

I have loved that I have been able to work in a wide variety of roles over the years which continually challenges and inspires me.

As my own children grow and begin study and work options I encourage them to find something they love as much as I do. They laugh and say they’re not sure if that’s possible.
