I have over 12 years experience in the disability sector and Specialise in managing SIL homes. I have a certificate 4 in disability and completed my first aid, CPR and medication administration.
I am a mother of 2 with my youngest being diagnosed with Down syndrome and autism. I have encountered the challenges that many families face with regard to getting funding and the frustration with not receiving quality care for their loved ones, which has only fuelled my passion to be able to provide people with the care that they deserve.
I have been the primary carer for my father for most of my adult life, as he had double below knee amputations and type 1 diabetes. Caring for dad made me realise my true passion and where i needed to direct myself
My life is so rewarding with my home life and i want to continue that within my work…. I always will go above and beyond for my clients as they are what’s important. Everyone deserves to be included!
In my spare time i love spending time with my family, cooking and mucking around with the kids.

Kara - Support Worker
I am proud and excited to be apart of the " I'm Included Disability team!
I have my first aid and CPR certificate and I have recently started my cert 4 in disability.
I never really had a career path that stood out to me, until I meet my brother in-law who has Down syndrome/ autism, it's then I decided that I would love to work in the support industry, I find it very rewarding.
In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends. I also have a 16 month old daughter who is my world and loves to keep me on my feet.
After my son was born in 2019, and through the midst of Covid, I had this strong urge to find something more fulfilling when heading back to work.
I started my Cert IV in Disability, and from this started working in the Community Care sector.
I was lucky enough, through my studies to join up with a Disabilty group, and from there learnt the immense joy that comes from supporting others.
I have a background in hairdressing and absolutely adore being a mum to my two kids. I love arts and crafts, and making family and friends handmade gifts. I also love baking yummy treats for my kiddos.
