She loves to see people from different backgrounds connect with each other, and grow in Christ together.

A member of Hope@theHill (Rooty Hill Presbyterian), she finds constant delight and encouragement in her Friday night Bible study and Thursday Hope Connect groups. She is married to Ross, enjoys baking and mosaics, and is beyond excited about becoming a Grandma in 2026.

Rochelle Wainwright

Rochelle has walked with sick children and their families for over 30 years, first as a nurse and then for the last 10 years as a Jericho Road Chaplain at The Children's Hospital at Westmead and Allowah. In walking alongside families there are opportunities to speak of how Jesus walks with them, and this is where the real help is found. Jesus meets families in the hardest of places, and provides the comfort, strength and eternal hope that only he can provide.
