New Occupational Therapist Caitlin C Joins Darwin Team

Pacific Health & Wellbeing is pleased to announce the appointment of Caitlin C as a new Occupational Therapist at our Darwin clinic. With a passion for empowering individuals to achieve their goals, Caitlin brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of her participants.

Originally from the rural landscapes of New South Wales, Caitlin moved to the Sunshine Coast about six years ago, where she completed her Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) at the University of the Sunshine Coast, graduating in 2021.

Caitlin’s career began in private community rehab, where she worked with individuals facing catastrophic injuries and complex disabilities. She later transitioned into a generalist Occupational Therapist role, travelling to rural and remote communities to provide essential services. This hands-on experience has given Caitlin a deep understanding of the diverse needs of individuals and the importance of tailored, evidence-based care.

“I have always been passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals and build strong connections with their support networks,” Caitlin shared. “What attracted me to Pacific Health & Wellbeing was the opportunity to expand my skills, continue making a difference in the community, and work with a team whose values align with my own.”

Shelley Newton, Northern Territory Area Manager for Pacific Health & Wellbeing, expressed her enthusiasm for Caitlin's appointment: “We are thrilled to welcome Caitlin to the team. Her experience, dedication to holistic care, and passion for empowering participants to reach their potential make her a perfect fit for our Darwin clinic. We’re confident Caitlin will have a positive impact on our participants and continue the excellent work being done at Pacific Health & Wellbeing.”

Outside of work, Caitlin enjoys staying active and embracing the outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, visiting the beach, or sharing a coffee with friends and family, she values the balance between her professional and personal life.

With Caitlin’s dedication to continuous growth and her natural ability to connect with those she supports, we look forward to seeing her thrive in her new role and make a lasting difference in the lives of our participants.
