MEET Fiona People and culture coordinator

If you were to ask Fiona, she would say she ‘fell into’ Human Resources as a career shortly before starting her family and was inspired by how, when done well, HR positively impacts all aspects of a business. Fiona's career began in payroll with the Department of Environment, providing interpretation and advice on pay and conditions of employment for the Department’s most remote employees – the rangers and support staff in Kakadu and Uluru (Kata Tjuta) National Parks. Fiona went on to work on Christmas Island as the Human Resources & Employee Relations Coordinator for the Indian Ocean Territories Administration, where she provided advice and guidance for employees and management relating to employment conditions and workplace culture. Most recently, Fiona joins Rural Lifestyle Options Australia, after working within the People & Culture Division of the National Disability Insurance Agency. She notes that she is excited to be joining the organisation after seeing how passionate the staff are about the work they do, and how valuable those services and supports are to people with a disability.

Fiona considers that people are an organisations greatest asset and believes that (as quoted by Sir Richard Branson) “if you look after your staff; they will look after your customers”. Fiona joins Rural Lifestyle Options Australia with 15 years of HR experience and is available to provide advice and support for all members of the organisation during their employment journey with us. " I see my role as being one in which supports and enables the employees of Rural Lifestyle Options Australia to deliver on our mission and purpose."
