Julie Adams

Julie Adams, 2016 Telstra Western Australian Business Woman of the Year

Congratulations to home-based cancer care entrepreneur Julie Adams, winner of the 2016 Telstra Western Australian Business Woman of the Year Award. Julie will join other state and territory finalists at the national 2016 Telstra Business Women’s Awards in Melbourne on 16 November 2016.

“I love chemo@home because it allows me to provide my patients with high-quality care and respond rapidly to changes in their care requirements. It’s a privilege to get to help people during their time of need,” said Julie.

With more than 25 years’ experience as a certified oncology pharmacist, Julie Adams and her business partner founded a chemotherapy business, chemo@home, which offers patients the convenience and flexibility of having their cancer treatment in the comfort of their own homes. The business also provides home infusions for other conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Julie, who also won the 2016 Telstra Western Australian Business Women’s Entrepreneur Award at an awards event in Perth, developed a product service offering that could revolutionise the patient-centric model. The impact of travelling to hospital can be daunting for patients and providing a personalised home service is proving a massive success for patients and reducing the overload on hospitals.

With no business model to follow for this type of health care delivery from either a clinical or business perspective, Julie needed to innovate, negotiate, collaborate and problem solve to make it a reality. From a clinical perspective, she has utilised her expertise in home-based care and complex therapies to provide leadership, accountability and confidence to the nursing team and health care partners. She recently commenced a PhD, with her research aimed to assist those cancer patients in the community who require oral chemotherapy.

Now in their 22nd year, the Telstra Business Women’s Awards are Australia’s longest running and most esteemed women’s awards program in Australia. They recognise and reward the courage, leadership and creativity of brilliant business women. Nominations for the Telstra Business Women’s Awards are open year-round. If you, or a brilliant business woman you know, deserve recognition, nominate today: https://www.telstrabusinesswomensawards.com/nominate/

Betty Tran

2016 Telstra Western Australian Young Business Woman of the Year

Betty Tran’s love for fashion began when she started helping her mother, a talented seamstress, manufacture garments for numerous Australian and international fashion labels. Although initially studying public relations, her love for garment manufacturing resulted in her switching to a fashion and textiles degree. It was in 2012, that Betty launched her own label, Betty Tran, an Australian couture and ready-to-wear luxury brand. The core product line at Betty Tran consists of glamorous evening gowns, party cocktail dresses and functional day wear. Betty says that all garments are made with high attention to detail and are timeless in their design, so each piece is an investment that can withstand fickle trends. With what started out with a $2,000 loan, has now grown into a business with two stand-alone stores in Western Australia, stock in stores globally and an international profile as a result of involvement in the prestigious Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Australia, New York and most recently Los Angeles.

State and Territory category winners will be flown to Melbourne for the National Awards judging, culminating in a glittering Gala Dinner on the night of Wednesday 16 November 2016. To purchase tickets to the Awards Dinners, please call 1800 817 536 between 9am and 7pm AEST Monday to Friday.
