About Us - Staff Profiles

Staff at the Green Apple have been specially handpicked. They have been chosen because of the person they are, and not just for what they look like (which is not always the case in our industry). The staff at the Green Apple genuinely like what they do and it shows. Staff members Cherryle, Barbara, Brian and Victoria have been at the Green Apple for more than 20 years and are all ageing gracefully together! Staff attrition is very low which provides a very stable environment for members.

the staff are fully qualified and are registered with Fitness Qld. They remain current in the latest research and methodology within the industry and, as a group, do resuscitation annually and First Aid every two years.

Victoria

Managing Director

Diploma of Clinical Remedial Therapies
Owned and managed the Green Apple since 1979

My vision has been to have an integrated service of allied health, natural therapy and fitness practices under one umbrella and it is all happening. For over 30 years I have identified people who could help with this vision, and the Green Apple team is the end result. Each team member has been specially chosen because of their attitude and passion.

My role is to identify community needs and our business direction to mentor staff, to interview new people and decide where to start, what to do, who to see and to remain current with my clinical massage practice.
