Janet

Managing Director

Hi, I’m Janet, the Managing Director of Able Allied Healthcare. Since acquiring Able Kids Therapy in 2020, I’ve been on an incredible journey of growth and transformation. Recently, we opened a brand-new, purpose-built clinic and rebranded to reflect our broader vision of providing exceptional allied healthcare services.

Leadership and self-development are at the heart of everything I do. I’m passionate about building the business of my dreams while fostering a workplace where every team member feels valued, empowered, and inspired. As part of my commitment to growth, I actively participate in a business mentor program, attending quarterly conferences to continuously learn, evolve, and uncover new possibilities.

At Able Allied Healthcare, our guiding values are integrity, compassion, adaptability, collaboration, and humility. These principles drive me every day as I work to create a positive impact for both our clients and our incredible team.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mum to three wonderful children and three fur babies—Lola, Honey, and Bear. I also love to travel, with a personal goal of exploring a new destination every year. Whether I’m building a business, spending time with family, or discovering new places, I’m always fuelled by a passion for growth and new possibilities.
