Cate Harman

Managing Director

Cate’s career spans over 30 years where she has gained experience in a variety of roles and sectors, whilst also raising her family.

She worked in clinical research for several years in both hospital and university environments, and ran a private business tutoring mostly Physiology, Biochemistry and Pathophysiology, while starting her family. After moving to Perth and making WA home to raise her four sons, Cate set up a private health clinic which she ran for several years.

Having spent my career working in the health and medicine space, I have become quite passionate about giving back some of the value of my experience, especially in the not-for-profit sector, and am delighted to be on MADDA board.

This has provided her management experience with charities as well as small business, and board experience in national organisations.
