Meet some of the Team:
Trevor Wienert, a Byron Bay resident and founder of Avalon Home Care, with over 30 years’ experience providing people support and development services, saw a real need in the community for in-home care that was not only professional, reliable, and flexible, but also genuinely caring and personal. Companionship and conversation are at the heart of our values, along with providing first-class home care services.
Whilst looking to engage home care support for his mother, Trevor quickly noticed a real need for a personalised and professional service. Combining this desire with a genuine ambition to improve the lives of people in similar circumstances, Avalon Home Care was formed.
Tara Fitzgibbon, a long-term Byron Bay resident for over 28 years has joined Avalon Home Care as its inaugural Client Care Manager. Tara has spent a lifetime providing professional care and support to people facing challenges in life. Tara met Trevor whilst being a caregiver to his 93 year old mum, Shirl. Tara’s kind and authentic nature left such an impression on Shirl, it became the highlight of her holiday. Tara has a calm and compassionate nature that immediately makes people feel comfortable and at ease.
