Our Team

After graduating from Auckland University, New Zealand in 1978, Kevin came to Western Australia to pursue his dream of opening an optometry practice.

Kevin moved to Geraldton in 1982 after being drawn to its laidback lifestyle. Kevin Hackett Optometrist was one of the founding stores when Northgate Shopping Centre opened its doors in October that same year.

Since then, Kevin has provided comprehensive eye care to many generations of Geraldton and Midwest families. Utilising the latest technology equipment for examinations, high performance lenses and unique eyewear collections as well as investing in ongoing training, Kevin and his team are dedicated to maximising you visual and ocular health, today and into the future.

Carol has been a part of the Kevin Hackett family for over 27 years, starting at the ripe old age of sixteen. She has been an integral part of our day-to-day operation, providing high quality customer care and expert advice.

Additionally, Carol is our lab technician, specialising in the dispensing and fitting of lenses. Carol has also been known to work miracles on spectacles that have seen better days. Carol’s skills and expertise means we’re able to provide onsite lens cutting and spectacle fitting, ensuring better quality spectacles delivered much faster.
