Our Team
JULIA OREOPOULOS, National Manager
"Hi I'm Julia and I am Manager of Therapeutic Services which has Sing&Grow as the flagship National Program. I have been a Registered Music Therapist since 2005 and in that time I have worked across the lifespan including work in Palliative Care, Aged Care, Children's Bereavement and Early Intervention. I have been with Sing&Grow since 2015 and I am continually inspired by the work of our incredible team of therapists. I am honoured to lead this team of incredible Music Therapists, all of whom make real and lasting impacts on the families they work with."
INGRID EYRES, National Administrator
"I have joined Sing&Grow AUSTRALIA in the role of National Administrator since the move of Head Office to Sydney in late 2014. My role sees me supporting the national team of Music Therapists to enable them to deliver services to vulnerable families around the country."
LOUISE TERRY-CLARK, Manager (NSW/ACT)
"Hi, my name is Louise and I would love to hear from you as I am passionate about collaborating with our partners to bring Sing&Grow services to children and families. I have been a Registered Music Therapist for over 13 years and with the Sing&Grow AUSTRALIA team for the past four years. I look after the ACT and NSW states where we have a great team of experienced Music Therapists bringing music and their clinical skills to our families. I look forward to hearing from you and working together to bring our Sing&Grow services to your children, families and community."
JESS HIGGINS, Manager (VIC/TAS)
“Hi, my name's Jess. I've been a Registered Music Therapist since 2015, when I founded Jig Music Therapy, providing music therapy services to children and adults in the Geelong and Ballarat regions of Victoria. During this period I also loved running Sing&Grow 8-week group programs with vulnerable families, helping to facilitate a positive change in the way that caregivers and children interact and relate through shared music. In 2019 I joined the Sing&Grow management team and am now responsible for the Vic and Tas Sing&Grow team and program development. It's a pleasure to work with this special team of music therapists and am passionate about growing our Sing&Grow services in Vic/Tas, especially in regional and remote areas.”
LORNA BERRY, Manager (QLD/NT) Learning & Development
"Hi, I’m Lorna and I am not only immersed in managing Sing&Grow clinical services in QLD and NT, but also co-ordinating the Learning & Development for the national Sing&Grow team. I have been involved with Sing&Grow AUSTRALIA since I was a Post Graduate Music Therapy student in 2004, and am passionate about using music to build collaborative relationships at a family and community level to make a positive difference in the world."
CATHERINE WILMOT, Manager (SA/WA) Program Integrity
"As well as managing all Sing&Grow services across WA and SA, I am responsible for the internal evaluation of various aspects of our project to ensure that we provide the best possible service for families. I have been a music therapist for more than 20 years, and have been involved in some capacity with Sing&Grow since 2005. I have always been passionate about music therapy, but I have been especially thrilled to be working with Sing&Grow as I have seen first-hand the impact on families and young children."
