After moving to Australia, I found it difficult to navigate the hiring practices of the organisation and make any headway in my career. I couldn’t understand why my robust experience and advanced qualifications weren’t getting me hired. It felt like I didn’t know the rules of the game here. I was working far below my education and skill level and became very beaten down. I could no longer even face putting applications together. Perhaps my advanced practice career was over?

Then I began working with Annette.

I have now started an advanced practice job aligned with my qualifications and specialty.

Annette helped me navigate the application process, normalising and explaining the culture, the bureaucracy, and the complexity of the system. She provided direct and practical support, sending me job advertisements that matched my skills, helping me write and edit application letters, reviewing my résumé, and coaching me for interviews.

But most significantly, she changed my mindset around job hunting. She didn’t just help me get a job; she revived my resilience. She coached me from being intimidated by the process to boldly going after opportunities. She taught me to take lessons from each application and move forward. Annette came from a place of deep experience, having faced tough career challenges herself and built back stronger. I can’t recommend or thank her highly enough.

I can’t recommend Thrive Nurse Coaching enough! Working with Annette in the Flourish and Advance program has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my career and personal growth. As a nurse, I came to her feeling unsure of myself and unclear about my future direction. With Annette’s incredible support and guidance, I’ve grown in confidence, discovered my strengths, and even secured acting-up roles into higher-level positions—something I never imagined possible until she helped me realise my potential.

Annette has a true gift for bringing out the best in people. She sees your value even when you can’t, and she empowers you to take bold, meaningful steps forward. Her coaching is compassionate, practical, and genuinely transformational.

If you’re a nurse feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready to take your next step, Thrive Nurse Coaching is the support you didn’t know you needed. Annette is an absolute gem, and I’m so grateful to have found her.

Annette was an amazing help! I was so nervous having to look for a new job after maternity leave and relocating interstate. Annette not only made my cover letter and resume look great, but she also gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in an interview. I now have a job that I love, which works in around my home/family life. I couldn't have done it without Annette's incredible support!

You’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

You just need someone who gets it—and who knows how to help.

I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
