What I do:

I support NDIS participants to understand and use their plan to achieve their goals. I take a person-centred approach to support participants to understand their plan, have choice and control, and use their NDIS plan effectively. I help connect participants to providers, mainstream and community supports and provide support for plan reviews.

Unique skills:

I have a Bachelor of Education and Master of Public Health (health promotion and research). I also have life experience as a sibling, aunty and parent of an adult daughter with a disability. My experience with the education, health and disability sectors combined with life experience strengthens my skills as a support coordinator.

Previous experience:

I have previous experience working as a local area coordinator (LAC). I have also worked with children, their families and carers in a variety of roles in the education and early childhood sector. My previous experience has allowed me to understand the uniqueness and
complexity of individuals and their supports and how best to support them. I use an individualised, strengths-based approach combined with strong interpersonal skills to help support clients achieve their goals.

Other interesting roles:

I have operated my own small business, worked as an English as a second language teacher, volunteered as a Primary Ethics teacher and even worked as a dental assistant.

What’s Auscare Support like?:

Auscare Support is professional, responsive and provides a unique individualised and person-centred service. Auscare Support understands the needs of their clients and provides professional support and training so that the best outcomes are achieved for everyone.

Life outside:

I enjoy music, art, travel, coffee, studying, spending time with my family and going for walks with my dog.

To sum me up:

I am curious, dedicated, ethically driven, a life-long learner and appreciate the small things in
life.
