Started with Auscare Support:
March 2025
What I do:
Having been a support Coordinator for 8 years now and having lived experience with a daughter with Down Syndrome and on NDIS herself, I have gathered a wealth of experience and knowledge.
I won’t allow the system to beat me, I will fight on for the rights of any of my participants I feel the NDIS has let down.
I work with a range of clients with physical disabilities, Down Syndrome, ABI, and stroke.
Moving clients from Nursing facilities to SDA and SIL.
I wake up every day and look forward to my job as I love interacting with people, networking, and finding the right supports and allied therapists for the participants I work with. Keeping up with NDIS changes can be a challenge at times, but we cannot know everything all the time.
Unique skills:
I feel I have good knowledge of the programs and supports in the area I work in, I have gained wonderful relationships with many providers and support programs within the disability sector and mainstream.
Having a lived experience, I can relate and have a good understanding of the challenges and rewards having a family member with a disability can bring to our lives.
Previous experience:
Volunteering roles with Special Olympics, past 12 years swimming instructor, and 8 years as a Support Coordinator with Coability. Prior to this lived in Malaysia and was at the forefront with my husband of establishing a learning centre for young adults with Disabilities.
Before having my 3 children, I worked in the creative field as a Visual Display Artist and Stylist.
Other interesting roles:
Prior to entering the disability field, I worked in the creative field as a Visual display artist for many fashion retail chains in Melbourne before heading to London and working as a visual display manager for Olympus Sport.
Working around a diverse range of people and having travelled and lived in different countries has given me an awareness and understanding, and acceptance that we are all unique.
What’s Auscare Support like?
Friendly, helpful, and supportive, still getting to know the team as I’ve only been a contractor with Auscare for 2 months, prior to this, I was a Support Coordinator for 8 years at Coability.
Life outside:
I love travelling, preferably Overseas. I attend my gym and yoga 3 to 4 times a week for mind and body health, I like to go walking.
I love shopping and visiting unique markets, renovating and upcycling furniture and clothes.
I am a creative person and like sewing and drawing.
I like visiting Galleries and spending time with family and friends.
To sum me up: Kind, caring, determined, and a real foody.
