Meet Carissa – Operations Coordinator
Carissa joins the team as Operations Coordinator. She will work with the team to oversee daily operations, safety and maintenance of our pools.

When asked what makes Bundaberg Aquatic Centre unique, Carissa says, “It’s a purpose-built facility with accessible features throughout the venue and state-of-the-art competition facilities, the centre will bring fantastic opportunities to the Bundaberg community no matter what your goals!”
