Welcome back, Chelsea

Our very own staff member, Chelsea, has returned from the Commonwealth Games Trials in Sydney after competing alongside some of Australia's best swimmers.

Competing across three different strokes, Chelsea achieved several personal best times - a fantastic result that reflects the hard work and dedication she puts into her training.

You'll see Chelsea's smiling face back at reception, so be sure to say hello and congratulate her on this outstanding achievement!

A home away from home.

For almost 70 years, the Clem Jones Centre has been bringing people together through sport, movement and connection.
