My name is Ashleigh and as an Auscare Support Worker, I provide 1:1 support in the home or community for participants in the Northern Rivers Area of NSW.

I have lived experience as I am the carer of a child with multiple disabilities. I have over 7 years of experience as a support worker. I enjoy assisting clients with their everyday lives, whether this is accessing the community, assisting with life skills, or providing personal care.

I love that I am able to assist the carers having a break as I know first hand how hard it can be at times and how having access to supports is so beneficial, not only for the client but also for the carers/families.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my sons, going to the park or beach, going out in the boat fishing, and colouring in and craft.
