Dovida Brisbane South & Redlands

✨ What a night for Dovida Brisbane South & Redlands! ✨

On Friday, the Dovida Queensland family came together at the Pullman Brisbane to celebrate under the stars and recognise a year of extraordinary contribution, resilience and heart across our Queensland network.

And we were incredibly proud to see Brisbane South & Redlands so strongly represented throughout the evening! 💙

🌟 Service Awards
We celebrated the wonderful commitment of those reaching 5 years with Dovida, including our very own Suzette Du Bois, Lisa Mercer and Maureen Jeffrey.

🏆 Leader of the Year
Congratulations to Aaron Meyers, named NAO Leader of the Year for his calm leadership through the transition to Support at Home and his commitment to helping his team grow in confidence and ownership.

Although Vicky and Aaron Meyers were the original owners of our Brisbane South & Redlands office, they continue to play such an important role in our services and support each week. We are incredibly fortunate that the strong connection remains very much mutual. 💙

A huge congratulations also to Ani Trushin – Brisbane South & Redlands, named Network Leader of the Year, recognised for her client-centred leadership and outstanding support of Care Managers navigating client budgets through one of the industry’s biggest reforms.

We were also very proud to see our own Leigh Horton nominated in this category.

🌟 Key Player of the Year
Another fantastic achievement for Brisbane South & Redlands, with Fiona Hammond named Network Key Player of the Year! Fiona was recognised for stepping up to lead client services and for the warmth and care she brings to every client and colleague interaction.

💙 Caregiver of the Year
Our wonderful Caregiver Julie was also nominated in this category. While she didn’t take home the award on the night, she is absolutely a winner in our eyes — and in the eyes of the clients, families and loved ones she supports every day.

🏆 Excellence in Quality Award
And to top off an incredible evening, Brisbane South & Redlands received the Excellence in Quality Award, recognising our team’s commitment to the highest standards of care and service.

We couldn’t be prouder of our Brisbane South & Redlands team — from our award winners and nominees to every person working behind the scenes and out in our community each day.

Congratulations to everyone recognised across the Dovida Queensland network. What a wonderful celebration of the people, passion and heart behind what we do. 💙✨

🌸 Happy 90th Birthday, Myrna! 🎉

Myrna was absolutely delighted at her special 90th birthday celebration, held at the beautiful Cleveland Museum last Saturday! 💕
Myrna organised her milestone birthday party, which included jazz music, numerous friends & a delicious cake with decorative edible flowers.

At 90 years young, Myrna is truly remarkable. She still drives, stays active, lives independently and is wonderfully savvy when it comes to technology and finances. She certainly doesn’t let age slow her down!

What makes Myrna so special is how grateful she is to have reached 90 while still enjoying such good health, independence and an active life. She simply feels fortunate and thankful for every day. ❤️

Myrna, you are an absolute inspiration!

We hope you enjoy the beautiful & colourful bunch of hand-delivered flowers from Dovida 💐

Happy 90th Birthday! 🎉🌷 Wishing you many more happy and wonderful memories. ❤️
