Toma Hartley

Social Worker

Toma is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and a long term Malanda resident.


Toma is passionate about early intervention and has a keen interest in working with young people who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, concerns around sexual identity and gender, self-harming behaviour, and healthy and respectful relationships.

When not at work, she can often be found in her natural habitat – a recliner in front of the television. This ensures that she can not only provide sound mental health advice, but excellent Netflix recommendations.

If you're an early bird you're likely to see Nic trudging around the Tablelands with binoculars, cameras and a sketch pad - she's a super keen birder, photographer and artist.  Now for the funny part ... she's trying to turn her hand to wood turning and carving - good luck with that Nic!
