Meet the team at
One 3 Care
Our Inspiration - Mark Ferguson
For many years our CEO’s husband, Mark Ferguson built a successful business advisory firm in the corporate sector. Its success was due to a 100% focus on client needs. In April 2023, Mark's life changed in an instant while on a family day out at the beach when one angry wave would deliver a cervical Spinal Cord Injury and Mark became an incomplete tetraplegic.
Navigating his own rehabilitation journey since 2023, Mark became determined to improve access to the kind of support he wished had been easier to find. This led him to advocate to establish One 3 Care so that people with neurological conditions can access the right help from Occupational Therapists who truly understand their condition

After graduating from the University of Queensland, Renee has spent the past 25 years in Brisbane specialising in adult neurological rehabilitation within the hospital, outpatient and home environments.
Renee understands that recovery from catastrophic injury, living with neurological deterioration or managing the demands of neurological recovery requires an understanding of the interplay between the physical, psychological and social demands upon a person and their family.
Renee has a deep understanding and respect for the body's ability to protect, heal and repair and is driven to understand how an injury may be impacting someone and advocate for change in their systems and environment. Renee works in a trauma informed way, pacing intervention and providing choices in managing fatigue, persistent pain and neurological recovery.
Renee is committed to the profession of occupational therapy, seeks out new research and development and maintains her professional ties with regular supervision and professional development.
Our CEO - Naomi Mawson

After years of building a successful career behind the lens, Naomi’s life took a new direction when she became a caregiver to her husband following his spinal cord injury. The experience not only deepened her compassion and problem-solving skills, but also sparked a new purpose—helping others in the healthcare space.
With her strong organisational skills, problem-solving mindset, and a deep sense of empathy, Naomi has made an effortless transition into the role of Chief Everything Officer for One 3. She’s committed to helping the business grow and bring fresh ideas to life while ensuring that the care provided to clients always comes first.
Why the name One 3 Care?
One 3 Care is an Occupational Therapy practice focused on supporting people with neurological and functional challenges to improve independence and everyday function.
The name One 3 reflects the three key components of the nervous system - the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These systems work together to control movement, sensation, and how the body functions. When one part is affected, the entire system can be impacted.
At One 3 Care, we take a whole person approach to therapy, recognising the connection between the nervous system and everyday life.
Our practice is built on strong clinical supervision, where therapists receive ongoing mentoring and guidance from experienced Clinical Leaders. This ensures our clients benefit from collaborative expertise, high-quality care, and a well supported therapy team.
