I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Joanne Wodson and I am proud to be the Village Manager at Oak Tree Retirement Village Dubbo.
I am originally from the beautiful Barossa Valley in country South Australia but have spent a number of years city dwelling in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne.
With a strong desire to be part of a country community again, I was very eager to join the Oak Tree Group as their Village Manager in Dubbo.
With an extensive work history in the aged, community and health care industry, I enjoy interacting with people and assisting them to live fulfilling and rewarding lives.
Impressed by Oak Tree’s approach and commitment to establishing close-knit retirement living communities that foster friendships and promote resident independence, I was inspired to be part of their organization and look forward to contributing to their successful retirement living model.
I welcome you to visit our village and become familiarized with our product offering.
