Julie Parker brings decades of experience to the table, having worked in dental practices since the 1980s. Throughout her career, Julie has always found great joy and fulfilment in supporting the auxiliary roles within the practice, recognising that every team member has the power to contribute to something truly meaningful. She holds the distinction of being the first non-dentist to own a dental practice in Australia, successfully managing her own practice for a decade before transitioning to consultancy in 2014.
Julie’s true passion lies in helping dental teams tap into their own potential, guiding them to discover the deeper satisfaction and impact they can create in their roles. Her mission is to empower every team member to embrace their unique strengths, enabling them to experience the same sense of purpose and joy that she has always found in her work.
Now a trusted mentor and coach, Julie inspires both individuals and practices to realise their full potential and create environments where success and fulfilment go hand in hand.
Ameena Basile is a dental industry practice management specialist with over three decades of experience. Her journey in dentistry began when she was only 16 years old. After several years working as a dental assistant and then receptionist she discovered her passion for the non-clinical aspects of running a practice. Inspired by her father’s experience as a dedicated medical GP, Ameena witnessed firsthand the challenges of balancing a thriving practice with long-term financial security. His untimely passing at 57, despite decades of hard work, deeply shaped her commitment to ensuring dental professionals build not only successful practices but also secure, sustainable futures.
Ameena went on to complete a Diploma in Practice Management and then an Advanced Diploma in Accounting so that she was fully equiped to help practices succeed.
Ameena is driven by the belief that every practice has the potential to achieve both financial strength and a high level of job satisfaction for the entire team. She has dedicated her career to helping dental practices reach this balance by mentoring dentists and their teams to align their production capacity, expenditure, and team culture. Her goal is to empower practices to thrive financially while creating a supportive, positive environment where every team member feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.
