23.01.2022 Super proud of our team members Bec, Katelin and Tenille. All 3 have spent the past 18 months studying, attending uni when allowed due to covid and becoming Cert 4 qualified in Optical Dispensing. This means EVERY member of our team is certified. Not just sales people but fully understanding how your eyes work and how to help you correctly. We are so proud of you girls. Covid put some tough barriers up but you all smashed through and have graduated exceptionally well. Well done and CONGRATULATIONS

We are so incredibly blessed to have such an awesome team. Sandy and Tuyen always give 150% to us, our business, our family, our patients. Please celebrate with us by wishing these awesome women a Happy Anniversary. Speaking of Anniversary 1st February 2021 also marks my parents 80th wedding anniversary. Definitely a day to celebrate. We love you guys and look forward to many many more years together. Today we had all the staff come to our home to celebrate. These two larrikins seen here cutting their cake.

15.01.2022 Welcome to our optometry practice.

14.01.2022 A HUGE thank you to Rimoptics for your very appreciated donation of 20 frames to support HBAFAF. Perfect timing to match with RODENSTOCK offer of 50% off second pair of lenses. Please come and support Hervey Bay Adopt Fire Affected Families by purchasing these frames.

13.01.2022 13 years ago on this day I married my best friend, my hero, my world. What an amazing day, despite Richard leaving me at the alter to go and retrieve the weddin...g rings he left behind(he will never forget that one). Richard Watt, you are my everything and I thank God everyday for bringing us together. Its such a beautiful feeling, knowing beyond any doubt that we will go though everyday together for the rest of our lives and eternity.. I love you, I appreciate you. You not only gave my life purpose but accepted all my children , grandchildren as your own. You are everything I prayed for. Looking forward to the rest of our lives. See more

12.01.2022 Super Proud to be a sponsor of The Mother's Day Classic. Love supporting our community and great causes such as this. Love how our team also get involved and continue to support every time. Proud .

10.01.2022 A HUGE THANK YOU to our team at work. We are getting busier and busier thanks to the awesome support of our community. Sandy has been off the last week and half due to surgery on her foot and will be another week yet. However she still hobbled in to see a rep. Bec, Tenille and Katelin have worked so well together, supporting each other , ensuring at all times ALL our patients receive the very best of care and advice always. Richard and Tuyen have been booked with very long days and still manage to fit in any emergencies that arise. To say I'm incredibly proud of our team/family is an understatement. Enjoy your weekend, we get to do it all again next week. Love you guys, Gwen

10.01.2022 We would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has continued to support our practice, Richard Watt Optometrist. We have been serving Hervey Bay for over 31 years now, always doing our very best to provide not only the latest technology but also the very best vision care we can. It's an honour to be part of our awesome community. This year saw so many challenges and so many businesses have not survived 2020 and Covid 19. At one stage we thought... this may have been our scenario too. But we took all the precautions we could (and still do) and you, the community continue to support us, so thank you. By your continued support we have been able to employ more local people, growing our staff from 5 to 9, with the prospect of another in the new year. Again, we say Thank you. One of these new employees is Megan, an amazing optometrist with over 16 years experience. Megan's honesty, gentle nature, passion for great service and superb clinical skills fit nicely with our practice values, developed over the last 3 decades. We ask that you get behind Megan and welcome her. Megan has a few appointments available the week we return starting Monday the 4th January. If you would like to make an appointment with any of our amazing, gifted optometrists, then please go online at www.richardwatt.com.au or phone our office Monday on 41971475. We wish everyone a very Happy New Year in 2021, filled with good health and happiness. See more

06.01.2022 Today is WHITE RIBBON DAY. The White Ribbon Campaign is a global movement of men working to end male violence against women and girls. 1 in 3 Australian women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by men. (www.ourwatch.org.au) That figure is appalling. This is not a problem that can be fixed by women. We men are the ones who can start a wave of change towards a safer and more respectful nation and world for the women in our lives. If the way you speak or act towards women is aggressive, threatening or disrespectful or you know someone (a family member, friend, workmate) who does, you need to STAND UP and SPEAK OUT.

06.01.2022 OPTICAL ASSISTANT / RECEPTIONIST A full-time long-term position is available in our established professional family-owned practice. This is a new position as our practice is growing, thanks to the wonderful support we receive from the Hervey Bay community. We’re looking for someone who is honest, has a bright personality, good listener, ability to converse with people of all ages, a real heart for helping people and willing-ness to work as part of our team. Experience is not... essential as extensive training will be provided. This is not a walk- in-the-park position. Multi-tasking most of the day is the norm. However, it's a very satisfying career on offer. If you are looking for a career in optometry, this could suit you, with ongoing learning opportunities to grow with our business. Written applications, resume and contactable referees (photo and Facebook address optional) to be submitted IN PERSON TO GWEN WATT by Thursday October 15.

02.01.2022 2020 has been a turbulent year for everyone. We are so impressed and blessed to have an amazing team that have ridden the waves and supported each other through it all, ensuring that all our patients have the best care and advice. So today, instead of the 'normal ' Christmas party we took our staff and their partners to Lady Elliot Island as our way of saying Thank you. We are also extremely blessed to partner with Rodenstock for our amazing lenses. Rodenstock ensures t...hat our patients receive the best of the best technology available. Today Senta , our Rodenstock rep, our friend, and her partner Darren also joined us for an amazing day. 2020 has been extremely difficult for the tourist/travel industry too, so today has also been our way of supporting another local business . Thank you team, we appreciate each and everyone of you. Xxx See more
