Meet the team: Keri Webster

Introducing Keri, our new regional coordinator for Moranbah!

Keri will be working to support general manager, Colin McPherson with the expansion of  vital mental wellbeing and suicide prevention services in Moranbah.

As one  of Queensland youngest towns, Moranbah was specifically created for miners and their families. Today the town sustains a community of over 8000 permanent miners as well as large numbers of fly-in, fly-out miners.

“Having worked in the community service sector for over ten years, taking on the role of regional coordinator was an easy decision,” said Keri.

“I have gained a diverse range of skills thanks to varied roles across the sector including, enrolled nurse, disability support worker and mental health practitioner.

“Like most (in this sector), for me the role I play is all about the ability to make a positive difference to the lives of others.”

Keri is super excited to hit the ground running with selectability in Moranbah and across the Isaac region.

“This role really seemed like the next logical step in my career. I had taken a step back from management roles for a break, but I saw the regional coordinator position and thought it was time to challenge myself.

“Everyone across the region is going to benefit from having selectability’s services delivered locally.

 Services to be run out of the selectability Mental Health Hub include NDIS individual and group supports, clinical services (via telehealth) and carer services.

 Keri will lead a team to ensure we are tailoring services to the individual needs, goals and aspirations of our consumers.
