Leanne joined the Finance Team at QAL in 2025 as an Accounts Receivable Officer (Finance Officer):

I genuinely love working at QAL because of the people, the culture, and the sense of purpose that comes with being part of the organisation. One of the things I value most is being surrounded by people who are supportive, approachable and willing to work together to achieve the best outcomes. There is a strong sense of teamwork, and I really appreciate being part of an environment where everyone brings different skills, experiences and perspectives to the table.

Ultimately, I love working at QAL because it feels like more than just a job. It is a place where I feel supported, appreciated and motivated to do my best. I am proud to be part of QAL and grateful for the opportunities, experiences and relationships that have come from working here.

You’ll need excellent interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively within a busy team and support shared goals. Being comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and handling important, recurring tasks over the long term is essential. And while we’re committed to working hard and getting the job done, we believe in having fun along the way—making each day both productive and enjoyable.
