Our Team

Born and bred in Geelong, Giselle is a registered pharmacist who has worked in hospital and community pharmacy settings for over 10 years. She has also worked within the pharmaceutical industry, monitoring the safety profile of medications. She loves helping patients feel better and working with other Health Care Professionals to ensure patients get the best quality care.

Giselle is passionate about empowering all our seniors with the right information so they can make informed decisions. She strongly advocates for seniors to remain in the comfort of their home for as long as possible which supports their continued independence, longevity and love of life.

She spends her time with her family which includes her young son and loves listening to music – you may even hear her play some tunes on the violin on occasion at Home Instead events!

Giselle holds a Bachelor of Pharmacy and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (both from Monash University) and an MBA from Deakin University.

Having been raised and educated in his native Italy, Giovanni completed his postgraduate studies in Engineering Management at the Unimore University in Reggio Emilia. Self-taught in English he began his global career managing IT and logistics projects in the UK, US, Norway and Algeria. Keen for greater experience, Giovanni made his way to Australia in 2011 where he found his passion in the Aged Care sector, delivering innovative solutions designed to improve quality of care in Aged Care organisations around the country. During this time, he completed a health informatics certification and was awarded a Master in Business Administration at Deakin University.

Giovanni’s personal aim is to empower as many people as possible to fulfil their own potential - owning and running Home Instead Geelong allows him to achieve just that.

When he’s not at work, Giovanni is in constant pursuit of the perfect dish from his mum’s recipe book, striving to impress family and dear friends. He is now even starting to love his footy, the Cats being his favourite team as ‘prescribed’ by his wife!
