What People Say About Wendy

I had the privilege of working with Wendy during her time as CEO of CCT, and I can honestly say she is one of the most inspiring leaders I have had the pleasure of working with. She brought incredible insight, organisation, ambition and drive to her role at CCT, while never losing sight of what mattered most — the people we cared for and the staff who supported them. Under Wendy's leadership, CCT grew as an organisation while remaining financially sustainable and profitable. She had the vision to identify opportunities, including successfully securing grants through local government, and the determination to turn those opportunities into meaningful outcomes for the organisation and the wider aged care community. What stood out to me most, however, was the way Wendy led. She genuinely cared about the aged community and she genuinely cared about her staff. She valued her team, listened to their ideas and concerns, and worked hard to ensure staff were well supported and appropriately rewarded. Despite being the CEO, she never removed herself from the team. She was approachable, present and always willing to listen. Wendy is not only an exceptional leader; she is a genuinely lovely person. She has the rare combination of compassion and commercial understanding, together with the ambition, energy and determination to make things happen. Wendy understands people, she understands community, she listens, and she has the vision and drive to make a positive difference. I believe Wendy would be an incredible asset to our local community and would work tirelessly for the people she represents. I would wholeheartedly support her!

Having had the pleasure of working for Wendy Mitchell for 10 years in her role as CEO of Community Care Tasmania, I can testify that Wendy was always fully committed and focused on supportive and beneficial outcomes for clients, while building and developing a strong team that trusted and respected her. Wendy's strengths include listening, developing a plan and acting on the needs of clients, developing teams and always seeking and acting on feedback. Wendy ensures your opinion and requests are valued and will always make the hard decisions when necessary.

Over the past 10 years of knowing Wendy, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand her honesty, strong work ethic, and genuine commitment to the community. She is a caring, reliable, and hardworking person who always goes above and beyond to support those around her. Her dedication and positive nature make her someone I have been proud to know and call a friend.

I worked closely with Wendy when she was CEO at Woolmers Estate. She quickly grasped the priorities and ensured essential jobs were completed, even if it meant rolling up her sleeves to get the job done. Her dynamic approach inspired us all.
