Gavin Dunlop

Director

For more than a decade Gavin has worked in service delivery focused roles from client facing through to executive level. During this time he’s seen members of the community, especially those in rural areas, not being afforded an appropriate level and quality of care they deserve and established Focused on Care to contribute to changing that.

Gavin drives his team, and the business, to be the best they can be and to think outside the box when it comes to delivering services to both Focused on Care’s clients and the broader community. 

Gavin relocated back to Toowoomba after 13 years in Brisbane and Canberra before the birth of his daughter and is proud to call Toowoomba his home.
