Our People

Rhonda leads a small team of dedicated individuals who commit to improving the lives of our member base; the one-in-six Australians living with hearing loss or a hearing related imbalance disorder and their families and supporters. Across her career, Rhonda worked in senior marketing roles in the public and private sectors. She holds a Bachelor of Business and a Graduate Certificate of Business. Her career spans various industries, including media, transportation, health, not-for-profit, employment and training, technology, and events. Twenty years ago, Rhonda was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, which has significantly affected her life since. She suffers from severe and constant tinnitus and has lost hearing in one ear. She also experiences ‘dizziness’ and has learned to recognise the symptoms before an episode, although it can still occur unexpectedly. Despite these challenges, she has successfully grown her career, managed multiple private businesses, a household and family. Understanding the impact of this condition on an individual’s career, family, and everyday life, she aspires to assist those with similar situations and ensure their needs are considered when creating policies and opportunities.
