Meet the Team

Welcome Robel Teklom

Hi everyone,

I’m Robel Teklom, and I’ve recently joined the team as Head of Wellbeing. I bring over 20 years of experience in human services, including 13 years in vocational education and training (VET). I’m passionate about supporting people to thrive not just academically or professionally, but also emotionally and socially.

From the start, I’ve felt genuinely welcomed. It’s clear there’s a strong commitment to student and staff support, and I’ve enjoyed meeting so many dedicated, approachable, and hardworking colleagues.

In this role, I’m focused on developing a wellbeing program that’s inclusive, practical, and supportive of the whole person. My aim is to provide targeted support services, strengthen referral pathways, and build a proactive wellbeing culture.

A heartfelt thank you to Olivia for the incredible support during my onboarding. From taking the time to introduce me to staff across different locations, to helping set up my office and making sure I have everything I need, your support has made a big difference. Most of all, I’ve really appreciated your warm and welcoming approach, it has made starting in this role a genuinely positive experience.

I look forward to collaborating with all of you and learning from your expertise as we build a strong and sustainable wellbeing framework together.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Warm regards,
Robel Teklom
Head of Wellbeing
