What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a purposeful role aligned with my values where I can contribute meaningfully, apply my skills, take on challenges, grow professionally, and make a tangible impact.

At WorkCover Queensland, I deliver payment and claims activities, reviewing calculations and correcting payments in line with legislation and policy.

I've conducted retrospective wage and award assessments, reconciled payroll, insurer, and financial records, and prepared audit-ready documentation and reporting. I process large datasets while maintaining data integrity and governance standards.

My background also includes customer service, personal loans, jewellery valuation, sales, product listings, and KPI tracking at Cash Converters. I'm seeking meaningful work where I can be challenged, grow professionally, and make a tangible impact.
