Meet the Team - Brett Houldsworth

Meet Brett! He has been working for selectability for the last 5 months as a consumer care officer in Cairns.

Originally from Brisbane, Brett says that he gains a lot from helping people live their best lives, a fulfilment he gets from working at selectability.

“I love the fact that we are connecting with people, and making sure they are heard,” Brett said.

This is highlighted through Brett’s position as consumer care officer, as he is generally the first point of contact for consumers and employees at selectability.

“Part of my role is to ensure that people that reach out to selectability receive the most appropriate support.

“This includes assisting through the intake process as well as seeking regular feedback.”

Beyond this, Brett’s passion for the mental wellbeing of others gives him the necessary tools to deliver his work.

“I have lived experience of mental health and suicide and I was fortunate to find someone who took the time to hear me and help me.

“I am motivated to pay that forward.”

With that in mind, there can be little doubt that Brett’s values coincide not only with his role, but to those of the wider organisation.

This is only fortified to his life outside of work, where Brett balances his life with quality family time and often indulges in his own hobbies.

“I have a wife and two kids, who are my life focus outside of work. We have two border collie puppies, who keep us very busy.

“I love making things and have a passion for 3D printing and 3D design.”
