About Us

intro

Catherine Thomas and Harbour Healthcare

My name is Catherine Thomas and I am the owner and operator of Harbour Healthcare Pty Ltd (trading as Harbour Healthcare). I established my company in 2008 after recognising a need in the market for mobile workplace wellness programs, this combined with my experience and passion for health education was the beginning of my business.

My background

I am a Registered General Nurse and have had extensive experience working for Diabetes Australia where my passion for health education commenced.  In that role my team of diabetes educators delivered educational services to people with diabetes and health professionals throughout Victoria. 

After moving to New South Wales I worked at the Prince of Wales Hospital in the Diabetes Education Unit where I ran the hospital education programs.  After a career break I recommenced work in a large medical practice in Mosman, NSW.  This practice covered many areas of primary healthcare from chronic disease management to lifestyle education and health promotion.  A great part of the work involved vaccination which motivated me to pursue post graduate qualifications in that area.

The combination of the educational work with Diabetes Australia, the experience in a general medical practice and a passion for health and well being inspired me to start my own company which could deliver workplace services.   These services have now become an integral part of workplace wellness programs.

Today…

The workplace is the perfect environment to deliver wellbeing programs such as flu vaccinations and health checks. Harbour Healthcare has a team of experienced health professionals who have delivered tens of thousands of flu vaccinations to workers throughout Australia. By conducting some simple screening tests, our Healthchecks provide the opportunity for individuals to learn about their body and possible risk factors, with the goal to motivate them to act sooner rather than late

We can provide both short and long term solutions to achieving a healthy business environment which can reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and provide a more positive corporate image. We have the proven ability to deliver large multi-site programs in a personalised and efficient manner without compromising our client’s daily operations. We come to you!

Harbour Healthcare believes in sustainable health through awareness, education and prevention.
