Worrells Queensland is pleased to announce that Jason Bettles has been appointed as its new Managing Principal, effective July 2025.
Jason is no stranger to Worrells. He joined the firm in 2004, became a Registered Liquidator in 2006, and has spent more than two decades helping business owners, creditors, accountants and lawyers navigate financial distress, calmly and practically.
With his deep roots in the Gold Coast and Northern NSW regions, Jason has worked across hundreds of matters ranging from small business restructures to complex company appointments and bankruptcies. Always with a focus on clarity, accountability and respect for the people involved.
Leading from experience
Those who have worked with Jason know he’s not one for big headlines or ego. He leads by example, listens more than he speaks, and keeps things moving forward.
“We’re in the business of helping people through tough situations. That takes more than just technical know-how – it takes empathy, discipline, and the ability to give people a clear path forward,” Jason said.
As Managing Principal, Jason will continue to work closely with his fellow Principals and staff across Worrells Queensland to ensure the team stays focused on what matters most: delivering straight answers, plain talk and timely outcomes.
Why it matters
Leadership transitions can be a turning point in any business. At Worrells Queensland, it’s also a chance to reinforce what’s always worked – strong relationships, practical support, and a team-first approach.
Jason’s appointment reflects the firm’s commitment to steady, hands-on leadership, especially at a time when many businesses are still finding their footing post-COVID, amid rising interest rates, tax debt pressures and ongoing economic uncertainty.
Looking ahead
Worrells Queensland continues to grow, with new team members, new office locations and new ways of helping businesses and individuals in financial difficulty. With Jason now guiding the broader direction of the team, that growth remains grounded in the firm’s core purpose: to make insolvency support more accessible, more transparent and more human.
We congratulate Jason on this new chapter and look forward to what’s ahead.
