Even though Jenny moved to Noosa from NSW more than 25 years ago, she still considers herself a true ‘Blues’ supporter!
Jenny loves getting to know our patients and says it’s a pleasure to come to work each day. On weekends, Jenny enjoys sitting on the sideline watching her son Bo play soccer, or having a home cooked meal by her husband, who is quite the cook.

Luke’s positive vibe and humour brings a smile to our face each and every day. Luke has been lucky enough to explore our great state, travelling around Queensland for 12 months. Born and raised in Emerald, Luke also resided in Cairns for three years before calling the Sunshine Coast home. Working with such a great team motivates Luke each day.
