Erin Burch

Business Manager

Erin has been working in team leadership positions in the Allied Health industry since 2007 and with the Stay Tuned family since 2015 (please don’t do the math, she swears she isn’t a day over 29 😉 although she has been 29 for a few years now haha) because she loves being a part of high energy results-driven team.

The best part of her job is implementing new processes & procedures to improve her colleague’s days so they can focus on what they excel at, looking after our patients… Erin truly believes that “Everybody deserves to feel good”, and together the clinical & non-clinical team can make a powerful impact.

Away from work (which is never, haha!) Erin can be found eating a delicious meal locally with the hubs, being the maddest fur-Mumma to Frank the Springer Spaniel, Ruby the Cocker Spaniel & Lily the Murray River Retriever (did somebody say “crazy dog lady?”) or her sugar hobby of baking & decorating cakes, cookies and all things yummy!

Erin works as the Practice Manager at both the Boronia and Elwood clinics.

Joining the Stay Tuned family in 2018, Karen is everyone’s fav staff member – she is known as the “cake lady” and we all sure do love CAKE! Its basically a cheat way to all our hearts!

We aren’t joking, Karen took out the title of “Australian Cake Decorator of the year” in 2019 and we all love being her taste testers.

You will generally find Karen smiling and up for a chat behind the desk, but she is on a medical leave of absence at the moment and will be back late in 2021.

No one gives or takes a joke quite like Tania – we joke that when she started at Stay Tuned that she used to park her horse and cart in the Knox Leisureworks car park and write with a quill and ink!! She is literally that much of an institution here.

Tania works part time at Stay Tuned Boronia and part time at a local GP clinic. She has 2 adult daughters who both also work in Healthcare, and she couldn’t be prouder!

When not at work, Tania loves getting away in her caravan for a long weekend away with her husband Ron up beach, mountains, or bush, she loves it all!
