Started with Auscare Support:

May 2023

What I do:

Ensure participants are well cared for, have adequate funding to assist them with their activities of daily living and most importantly, that participants have joy and meaning in their lives.

As your Support Coordinator I’ll work with you and/or your support network to link with support providers to assist you to meet your goals.

Unique skills:

listening to you about what you need and want,

learning from others who know you well (when appropriate),

thinking creatively and innovatively,

being knowledgeable about the NDIS,

having strong networks in community,

being person-centred and solutions focused.

Work with you to get the most out of your funding so you get the most out of your life.

Previous experience:  

My experience with the NDIS is on a personal level, I have a son who accesses the NDIS, I’m his advocate.

My knowledge and experience stems from learning first hand about the NDIS and supporting my son to access supports.

Other interesting roles:

I’m a Nurse, I’ve worked in both the acute and community sector for the past 12 years, I believe that with my nursing experience I can better understand your disability related needs.

Life outside:

Watching my 2 children’s sporting activities.

I enjoy camping/fishing with my family, we’re lucky enough to have a little shack at one of the most beautiful places in Tasmania.

I love to cook and experiment with new recipes.

To sum me up:
I would describe myself as innovative, creative, adaptable to change, a fast learner and someone who is prepared to go above and beyond what is required to achieve the best possible results.
