Katelyn Worldon - Allied Health Assistant

I grew up in Tumut NSW, after school, I worked as an educator in early childhood for several years before moving to Wagga in 2020. I began working at Active Health in 2021 and have spent the last 3 years as part of our wonderful support team! Working at Active sparked an interest in studying again and I started my Certificate IV Allied Health Assistant in 2022 and I am exited to be part of the paediatric team in 2024.
When I’m not at work, you will find me near a soccer field, coaching, playing or hanging out with friends.

WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?

I love being a physiotherapist because no two days are ever the same, and I get to collaborate with families to help them achieve their goals.

Larissa Guaran - Paediatric patients

WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?

I love being a physiotherapist as I get to work with incredible people and families to help them to achieve their goals. Every time a goal is achieved and the child or a parent comes in to their appointment to tell me, the smiles this brings means I have the best job.

Tahnee Collins-Roe - Paediatric team mentor

WHY DO YOU LOVE BEING A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?

Seeing the excitement in children and their families when they achieve a goal no matter how big or small that goal may be..... and knowing achieving that goal leads to opportunity, like opportunity to play or engage and be included with their peers.
