our Gingin

OUr Staff

Your friendly CRC staff

The Gingin Community Resource & Visitor Centre is notorious for its cheerful, welcoming and helpful manner.  We currently employ 5 part time staff and 1 full time Trainee.  The staff are dedicated to a “nothing we can’t do approach”, from the moment you are welcomed through the doors the staff are proficient and customer focused.

Carrie Edwards Manager

Carrie started at the Gingin CRC in 2008, in a job share situation. The opportunity for full time employment presented itself and from this time onwards the CRC has flourished. Carrie’s contagiously cheerful manner, along with her enthusiasm and passion has made the CRC what it is today, a happy, friendly, helpful and informative workplace, while providing invaluable resource for the Community.

Alison McVee Assistant Manager

If you visit our CRC on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday you will find our Assistant Manager/Bookkeeper Ali working along side Carrie.  Alison is an invaluable team member to the CRC with her overall knowledge of our community and sport. Ali is also arty and has a flair for poster production but as the CRC business grows her bookkeeping duties give her more than enough to do.

Lauren Samata Community Service Officer

Lauren is our new CSO and has spent no time getting into everything. Spring cleaning, re-arranging, you name it Lauren wants to do it.  Lauren is also producing the Gingin Buzz each month and will collate the next annual Regional Directory.

Welcome Lauren. 

`Gingin Staying in Place` Care Coordinator

Joining the Gingin Staying in Place team in late 2025 Ash was already a very familiar face to us all from her previous employment.  Needless to say Ash has taken to the  `Staying in Place` Initiative, like a duck to water. Well known to our community Ash fits in like she`s been here forever. 

`Gingin Staying in Place` CaRE Coordinator

There is no doubt Julie is a welcome edition to the Gingin SIP Team. Again Julie was very familiar with our community as she is our SIP Nurse. This also makes Julie perfect to step into a Coordinator role. Cool and calm Julie is always reassuring and a wealth of knowledge.
