Frankland River Staff and Volunteers

Centre Manager

Teresa Lawson

I moved to Frankland River in 2019 to become the Manager of the Community Resource Centre. As Manager of the CRC, I am able to utilise my skills and experience to provide the resources, training and initiatives to build the capacity of the community. I have 25 years’ experience in the community services industry, mainly within the Child Care industry, and in managing teams that work together for the good of the community. I enjoy spending time with my family amongst the community and with our animals on our mini homestead where I get to engage my passions of sustainability, growing our own produce and providing for my family. Being part of a small community was the focus of our move from Perth and Frankland River has certainly met our expectations, and we love being part of such a close-knit community that works together and supports each other.

Frankland Editor

Brenda Brown

Wearer of a variety of different volunteer ‘’hats’’, I am passionate about our history, continual community growth in rural country WA and Community Resource Centre’s. With over 35 years’ experience in small country libraries, as former Telecentre Coordinator and over 20 years with local community newspaper production there is always something new and exciting to learn, experience and embrace.

Administration Assistant

Lani Frusher

I moved to Frankland River from Narrikup four years ago and completed my traineeship with the Frankland River CRC in 2024. After a short break, I returned to the CRC, where I enjoy helping the community and continuing to grow my skills. Over the years, I’ve owned and managed hair salons and worked in various roles in the wine industry. I am enjoying living in this wonderful community that is Frankland River. Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, visiting my children, playing hockey, riding my horses, and walking my dogs.
