Specialising in Health Industry

As founder of Orana Care, Dawn Inman-Wyness is passionate about person-centred, committed support for the disabled community. Dawn’s professional and personal experience within the Disability and Health Care System gives you access to experience and understanding, only available from people who have walked a similar path. 

Having lost a close friend at an early age from Fronto Temporal Dementia, Dawn struggled to locate the appropriate quality of care within often-overcrowded Aged Care Homes. As carer for a family member with disability and healthcare needs, this provided the catalyst for Dawn to launch Orana Care. 

Dawn’s wealth of knowledge in corporate governance, financial accounting, aged care, retirement villages, health and disability, mental health, and housing lead her to launch Orana Care and Consulting. Through this she hopes to raise the standards of best practice and use her business savvy and personal experience navigating the often-complex NDIS system to assist as many families as possible and put them at ease. 

Dawn’s professional background working as CEO, DON and CFO has given her extensive experience across aged care and healthcare facilities. Time spent working as an Aged Care Assessor for the Australian Government enlightened Dawn to the pitfalls of the care system.  Other related experience spans; –

• Board member and leadership of Aged Care Homes and Mental Health organisations; where Dawn held various roles which included Chairman and as Finance Director
• Deputy chair of the Victoria Division of Healthcare Special Interest Committee with the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
