Anna has been at the forefront of providing and developing NDIS-funded disability supports to clients in the Blue Mountains for over 6 years.

Anna led and developed the staff team that provided NDIS-funded services, in particular support coordination, plan management, home modifications, and home maintenance. This team developed a strong reputation for providing high-quality, responsive, client-centered services, and was held in high regard by local service providers and clients alike. Anna successfully led this team and services through 3 external accreditations across 5 years.

Advocacy for people living with a disability, and local service providers are a core part of how Anna works in the sector. Anna has developed an extensive professional network across the Blue Mountains and the Greater Sydney area, and is able to draw on this network as part of providing services to her support coordination clients.
Anna also has long-term lived experience supporting a family member living with a disability and accessing NDIS supports. Passion is a word that tends to get thrown around in bios, but Anna really is, as a professional in the field and as a person, someone who is deeply passionate about providing client-centered services and supports to people living with a disability. Supports that really are about enabling clients to have choice and control. Supports that open up and enhance life for clients and the people who care for them. Give Anna a call – you’ll know what I mean in that first conversation.
