Big congratulations to Karina!

Karina is our Manager of Disability & Community Care here at Centacare NQ, and she’s been named a finalist in the 2025 Townsville Business Women’s Awards in the Community-Minded Business Woman of the Year category! 

Karina shared:

“Being recognised as a finalist is both humbling and empowering… it validates the impact of my leadership and provides a platform to champion change and inspire others.”

Her leadership style in 3 words? Compassion. Empowerment. Innovation.

And her vision?

“Communities where people of all ages and abilities feel valued, included, and empowered.” 

The winner will be announced at the Gala Awards Night on Friday, 10 October at The Ville Resort–Casino – but for us, Karina is already a shining example of what it means to lead with heart, vision, and community at the centre.

We couldn’t be prouder — congratulations Karina!
