“It is critically important that every patient is treated with respect and dignity, in a safe, modern and purpose-built environment that supports their road to recovery; where staff and doctors are professional and understand the importance of engaging with families and carers to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients.

Kym Geier

Private Practice Manager

What's your why?

"Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing; and although mental and physical health are often treated separately, our bodies and minds are very much interconnected. I am proud to be part of Avive Health, an organisation that not only recognises this but also aims to correct the imbalance by providing innovative treatment options with patients at the heart of their journey."

Ben Pocock

Clinical Services Manager

What's your why?

"I became a mental health nurse, with the understanding that everyone is an individual who experiences their own struggles and difficulties throughout life. I want to help people through tough times to become the best versions of themselves. Being compassionate helps me to connect with patients on a deep level, to understand their struggles and challenges. I believe in the power of healing and growth, and find immense satisfaction in being a part of someone’s journey towards self-discovery and improvement. It brings me joy to witness the positive transformations that occur when individuals receive the care, guidance and encouragement they need to thrive both mentally and emotionally. My role as a Clinical Services Manager at Avive Health Brisbane allows me to make a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives, providing them with the support they need to reach their full potential."

"I am passionate about assisting individuals with their mental health and receive great satisfaction being a part of their journey and seeing the impact our organisation has on their lives. Through lived experience, I can empathise with patients which allows me to continue to contribute to the best possible service during their time here at Avive. To be a part of a team that works collaboratively to impact and change lives, and reduce the stigma around mental health is both a humbling and rewarding experience."
