Gidget was the nickname of a vibrant, warm and much-loved young mother who tragically took her own life while experiencing postnatal depression, a condition she suffered in silence and kept hidden from those around her.
Determined that no other family should endure a similar loss, her family and close friends established Gidget Foundation Australia in her memory. Their vision was to create an organisation that would raise awareness of perinatal mental health challenges and ensure that expectant and new parents have access to the support and specialist care they need.
The nickname “Gidget” originated during her teenage years on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Often seen wearing a black and white polka dot bikini, she bore a striking resemblance to Sally Field’s character in the popular 1960s American television sitcom, Gidget. The nickname perfectly reflected her fun-loving personality, warmth and vibrant spirit, qualities that made her deeply loved by family and friends.
Today, Gidget Foundation Australia proudly carries her name and legacy. The organisation is dedicated to ensuring that parents experiencing perinatal depression and anxiety never feel alone and can access compassionate, timely and specialised support. Through education, advocacy and evidence-based services, the foundation continues to honour Gidget’s memory by helping thousands of Australian families navigate the challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood with hope, understanding and care.

Manager Works
A Senior Leadership Opportunity for a Proven Civil Project Manager
We are seeking a highly qualified leader for the pivotal role of Manager Works. Reporting directly to the Director of Works and Infrastructure, this position requires a unique professional hybrid: a seasoned Project Manager combining a rigorous civil engineering background with the leadership acumen to direct a major regional operations department. Far from a purely administrative role, this position is designed for an active, on-the-ground manager balancing strategic oversight and site-based delivery. You will take full accountability for a substantial operational and capital works budget, driving precise cost estimation, forecasting, and fiscal compliance. Leading a large internal team and extensive contractor network, you will foster an accountable, high-performance culture — making this ideal for established operations managers ready for senior leadership. You will also serve as a key advocate for Council, providing technical mentorship, liaising with public utilities, and representing the organisation at major government forums.
Operations
& Project Delivery
On the ground, you are the driving force behind the physical execution and compliance of Council's infrastructure. You will manage contractor services and direct end-to-end delivery of civil works—ensuring detailed designs and safety reviews are finalised before construction through to final project hand-over. You will directly oversee the day-to-day operations and legislative compliance of regional roads, stormwater networks, bridges, aerodromes, and Council quarries/gravel pits, while coordinating with Fleet Services on casual plant hire contracts.
Civil Technical Requirements
• Civil Asset & Project Expertise: 10+ years managing regional civil construction (roads, bridges, stormwater) from initial survey and design review to physical site hand-over.
• Compliance & Frameworks: Deep knowledge of civil design standards, quarry/mine safety legislation, and Transport for NSW (TfNSW / RMCC) contract and grant processes.
• Qualifications & Systems: Tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering/Project Management (or equivalent senior experience), Class C licence, and strong digital/financial tool literacy.
