Kiran Khan joined Waverley with a strong belief in its purpose and the impact it has on people’s lives. She was drawn to an organisation with heart, a proud history and real potential, and saw an opportunity to help strengthen that foundation while shaping the path ahead.
With extensive experience across aged care, disability and community services, Kiran brings deep capability in person-centred practice, workforce culture and operational transformation. She excels at building values-driven teams and guiding organisations through complex reform with clarity and empathy. Creating environments where people feel supported, confident and valued sits at the core of her leadership approach.
What Kiran enjoys most about Waverley is the genuine sense of community. She speaks often about the warmth people feel the moment they walk through the door and the shared commitment to supporting employees with disability. That collective purpose is what makes the work meaningful every day.
Kiran is particularly proud of helping to elevate the supported employee experience and contributing to a clearer vision for a more integrated and future-ready workforce model. Seeing teams embrace new ideas while continuing to honour Waverley’s identity has been a highlight.
Outside of work, Kiran is a proud mum, an avid reader and someone who loves exploring new corners of Melbourne’s food scene. She also enjoys mentoring emerging leaders and staying connected to the community, which keeps her grounded and inspired.
