Tania Rogers
Governance, Quality and Risk Manager
I get to work with a team of dedicated professionals who want to enrich the lives of the vulnerable within our community and incorporate the best high-quality care and services that each person deserves. I value QVCare is very inclusive and has a supportive nature and structure and is not afraid to embrace change and considers each change as an opportunity to be creative and atypical to the norm. I am privileged that QVCare has accepted me into the family and has given me an incredible opportunity to increase my knowledge and widen my skillset to be able to continue to achieve my professional career path goals and share those aspirations with QVCare family.
I was born in Tasmania and grew up in Hobart. I am married with two children (daughter and son). I have four grandchildren. From a young age I have always had a passion to support and advocate those in the community that are vulnerable and are not confident to speak up for themselves. I love socialising with family and friends and experiencing the taste of all different favours of food. I love the nature and like going hiking when I can. I also love travelling and I have been fortunate to be able to travel across several countries and continents. Mostly Australasia and Asian. I love music (all sought) and gardening. One of my hobbies is showing my indoor and outdoor plants at garden/flower shows.
Most of my career has been within the Health Sector. With Aged Care being the predominate industry. I started in Aged Care in the early 1990’s. My first role was in the catering services then I expanded my career path to an Extended Care Assistance. In the early 2000’s I was seconded to work at the Health and Community Service Union for a 3-month period. Within that time, I applied for a vacant position as an industrial organiser and was successful in the appointment. Within my role, I advocated and represented union members. Also, during my appointment as an industrial organiser, I had an opportunity to further my career by undertaking additional education in a train the trainer course and completed several other courses including a diploma in Leadership and Management. In mid-2016, I decided I needed a change from Industrial Relations and returned into Aged Care with a goal to do more proactive work.
Entering back into Aged Care, I commenced my position as a Training and Continuous Improvement Officer. Over a course of 7 years, I increased my skills and knowledge to become a Quality and Compliance Officer, then the Quality and Compliance Manager. Over the past two years, I have been working towards achieving my career further by re-enrolling in another diploma based on Governance, Quality, Compliance and Risk which I have almost achieved completions.
