Meet Case Manager & Occupational Therapist – Louise Whitton

Louise Whitton

Case Manager & Occupational Therapist

I grew up in remote NSW and thoroughly enjoy living, working and raising a family in Gunnedah.

Since 2005 I have worked in rural NSW in a variety of roles including mental health, community health and inpatient acute wards. Prior to becoming an OT I worked in a variety of roles with adults with disabilities and have worked as an OT in the Gunnedah area since 2011.

I have been working privately as an OT and Case manager with iCare, CTP and NDIS since 2011.

I am a approved Case Manager with iCare (lifetime care and workers care), a member of Occupational Therapy Australia and registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

My husband and I have 3 children who all love country life and sport. When not working we enjoy supporting our kids sporting pursuits, camp ovens and spending time with family and friends.

I have enjoyed my recent journey as a leader and business owner in rural allied health. There have been many exciting times, rewards and challenges. I am very grateful for the support of our wonderful team, my husband, children, family and friends. I am very excited about the future of Focus on Function, rural allied health and all it has to offer.
