I am delighted to extend an invitation to the annual President’s Luncheon welcoming new members thus far, for 2026. Please join with fellow members of our wonderful WCEI community for a relaxed luncheon at the Athenaeum Club in Hobart.

This member only event was introduced by our previous State President Miriam Coleman, and it is an honour to follow in her inspirational wake.

Come and join me, a chance to connect and collaborate with one another and show a warm welcome to many new members from various sectors, including technology, the arts, marketing, the film industry, and health and wellbeing.

Together, let’s strengthen our bonds, share insights, and inspire each other as we navigate the exciting relationships and opportunities ahead.

I hope to see you there.

Eve Nelson
WCEI Tasmania State Division President Elect

An APA Titled Sports Physiotherapist, Kellie has worked at the highest levels of elite sport, serving as Lead Physiotherapist for Rowing Australia and as an Australian Olympic Team Physiotherapist at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Her expertise in sporting spine and shoulder injuries has seen her publish research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, while her passion for education has led her to teach physiotherapists across Australia and internationally.

Alongside her clinical and sporting achievements, Kellie is a strong advocate for leadership, staff wellbeing and creating workplace cultures where people and organisations can flourish.
