Meet some of our AMAZING team

 Qualifications: Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, Currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing

Time in the industry: 3 Years

Professional background: My professional career began in an inbound call centre at a bank, where I also provided email support. While I enjoyed the customer service aspect, I felt unfulfilled. I then moved into the Mortgage Documentation Department at the same bank, which offered a mental challenge, but I still felt something was missing. After ten years at the bank, I decided to pursue further studies, especially since I had a son and thought I might find fulfillment in childcare. I completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and while I loved working with children, I still felt I hadn't found my true calling, which I believed to be in nursing. I enrolled in university to start my Registered Nursing degree and sought experience in Disability Support during this time. The work has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy making a meaningful difference in people's lives.

What you love about your job with ASCS: When my business partner and I founded ASCS, we aimed to create a different kind of workplace—one unlike our past experiences as employees. I take great pride in the team we've built, consisting of like-minded individuals who are genuinely committed to empowering our participants, giving them choices, and improving their lives.

Interests outside of work: In my free time, I love spending time with my partner and son. My son and I are theme park enthusiasts and enjoy thrilling roller coasters. We are a very sports-minded family and actively participate in touch football, soccer, cricket, tennis, swimming, and basketball. I also enjoy crocheting, although I have yet to move beyond scarves and blankets.

Qualifications: Diploma of Community Services

Time in the industry: 5+ years

Professional background:  Although I started my career in nursing (over 20 years ago!) It just wasn't the right time for me, I quickly moved into business administration and management. After I had my children, I had a career change and completed a traineeship in travel and became a Travel Agent. I managed a few different travel agencies over the years and enjoyed the lifestyle that came with it as my family and I were very fortunate to travel all over the world. However, when Covid hit, my career in travel was over and I decided it was time to go back to nursing. It was not long before I quickly realised that my passion was actually working in the community supporting people living with a disability. I feel absolutely privileged to be able to share my knowledge and experience supporting some amazing individuals and their families.

What you love about your job with ASCS: ASCS was founded by myself and my business Partner Telekia in 2024 when we saw that there was a huge shortfall of ethical and competent providers in the industry. We decided we could do better and we have! I absolutely love the AMAZING team we have built and the beautiful clients that I get to work with every week.

Interests outside of work: As a busy mum of 7 and Nanny of 3 I love to spend my time outside of work with family, I love to cook.....oh and I never lost my passion for travel as I enjoy learning about different cultures and experiencing new things! ❤️

 Qualifications: Currently working towards my Diploma of Community Services

Time in the industry: 1 year 

Professional background: During high school I coached gymnastics and found I have a passion supporting and helping people to achive their goals. Since leaving school I have found myself working in caring roles both nannying and babysitting and found that I love working with children.  During my time as a nanny, I learnt a lot about supporting children living with a disability and spent quite a bit of time working with children living with autism and/or adhd. It was during this time that  opened my eyes to wanting work in this industry. I have also worked with a lot of babies which I enjoyed. 

I often get commended on being a very empathetic , caring and proactive person which I think is beneficial in this role. 

What you love about your job with ASCS:

I love the flexibility we have with being able to have as much or as little work as we like, meaning we can have a great work life balance which was important to me when I first started in the industry, it has also given me the freedom to study while still working. I  love how every member of our team is wonderful, caring and very approachable. 

Interest outside of work:

I love to spend time with my friends and family, as I’m a person who loves to keep busy and social. I also love to do Lego in my spare downtime before bed. 

Qualifications: Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse)
Time in the industry: 3 Years
Professional background: My professional interests always allowed me to work within roles that help others. I have previously worked as a qualified Beauty therapist & Personal trainer before transitioning into the health industry where I worked in medical administration, but I was never truly fulfilled. A promise I made to my grandmother on her passing guided me to follow my dream to study & become a nurse. It was during my studies I found a passion for community care & working one on one with patients. I started support work while finishing up my studies & I haven't looked back since. I have worked with children & adults with a variety of required support & combined with my nursing skills found a role where I flourish.
What you love about your job with ASCS:
I love the team of empowering & diverse women ASCS has created. We work cohesively to support & care for our clients, ensuring their goals & needs are met but with passion and professionalism. I love working one on one with clients. I love making a difference in people's lives & the difference they make in mine.
Interests outside of work: In my spare time I am usually spending quality time with my family & partner & catching up with friends. My friends call me nanna T! Mostly because I am a crazy cat lady who loves her 4 cats & 1 big puppy dog. I love being in nature, drinking tea, baking, gardening, reading, op shopping & travelling. 

Qualifications: Cert II in support services 

Currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing

Time in the industry: 1 Year 

Professional background: I am currently studying my Bachelor of Nursing at university and have experience working as an assistant nurse in fast paced environments such as Emergency Department. I grew up with a love and passion for helping others and after watching my mum grow such a strong passion for her nursing career, I knew from a young age that it was exactly what I wanted to do. I went straight into university after graduating high school and have been studying full time ever since. 

What you love about your job with ASCS: I am a dedicated support worker who finds fulfillment in my role. I love having the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of those I help, and providing compassionate care and support that helps individuals live more independent lives. What I particularly enjoy about being a support worker is the personal connections I can form with my clients, as well as the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing their progress and happiness. I am looking forward to growing in my role as a support worker, especially with ASCS. 

Interest outside of work: I love going to the gym in my spare time and keeping active, as well as spending time with my family and my partner. I also enjoy reading, spending time with my tiny Pomeranian, going to the beach, and travelling to different places as much as possible. 

 Time in the industry: 4.5 years 

Professional background: My professional background started when I was very young, my dad owned his own Italian Restaurant throughout my life, so as a kid I grew up cooking and learning alongside him, which instilled a love of cooking from a young age. I have had experience in various places and fields, always trying to find something that could empower me but a career that could empower and support others. I started Disability Support Work when I was 19, I worked alongside clients with complex needs and built amazingly strong relationships. After 3 years I decided to travel the world and came back to a Training Coordinator role, which I loved but still looked for more. This led me to start to study Nursing due to my love of helping and supporting others, during this time, I became a high risk pregnancy, so I sadly decided to postpone nursing, and reignited my passion for working in Support work and have never looked back. 

What you love about your job with ASCS:

I love the empowerment, not only for each staff member but for our clients and the community as a whole. We work cohesively, consistently supporting and advocating for better outcomes for all participants, staff and NDIS as a collective. 

I am proud to show up to work and represent ASCS each and every day. 

Interests outside of work: I love my family, my two kids and partner. I come from an Italian background, so I LOVE to cook. 

Travelling soothes the soul and I love to make those memories with the ones I love.
