My name is Carlos Macias, and I have been working as a physiotherapist for over 10 years. My initial influence was centred around elite athlete recovery programs, which included opportunities be involved with the Ethiopian Athletics Federation and the Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. 

Moving to Australia from my home in Madrid, Spain, has allowed me to step into the Aged and Community sectors with Encara. This has been a welcome change of pace and it is some of the most rewarding work I have ever done. I love that we impact people’s lives, and most of all I am passionate about helping my clients maintain their independence and extend their time living at home surrounded by family. 

In my role as Deputy Queensland State Manager, I support our team of therapists in Queensland and manage the service delivery to all of our Queensland Aged Care clients. I think we have a great team, it’s always a great atmosphere, and I am very grateful for the vital work that each one of them do every day. 

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and learning lessons from my young son every day.  My weekend activities include running or cycling and trying out the local cafes for my favourite meal time, breakfast, which always starts with a double shot latte.
