Hi I am Julie
I am a registered psychologist, an experienced researcher and a n author, passionate about aged care.
I've always been deeply connected to older people, ever since I was a young girl, buying flowers from an elderly man with Parkinson's disease. This early connection shaped my career and passion for aged care, leading me to found Wise Care in 2011.
At the heart of my work is a profound respect for elders and a commitment to fostering empathy in their caregivers.
In my doctorate research examined wellbeing in home care workers and postdoctoral research focused on supported decision - making in dementia.
Clinically, I have significant experience in assessment and the application of psychological treatments to older adults and recently published a book on enhancing emotional wellbeing in residential aged care environments. I developed several award winning preventative psychological group programs for older adults entering residen tial care.
