Meet Kate, One of Our Amazing Support Coordinators! ⭐

Kate brings more than 30 years of experience in the disability sector, inspired by her family’s lived experience and her desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with disability.

After completing a tertiary qualification in Psychology, Kate began her career as a Case Manager within the State Government’s block-funded disability system. This provided her with a strong foundation in the sector and many valuable learning opportunities.

Kate also worked within Queensland Health, where she managed Ministerial complaints and helped achieve positive outcomes for people experiencing challenges within the health system. This experience strengthened the problem-solving skills she now brings to her role in Support Coordination.

For the past eight years, Kate has worked as a Support Coordinator, assisting NDIS participants and families from a wide range of backgrounds who face many different challenges.

Kate is highly skilled at navigating the NDIS, including its ongoing changes and complexities. She is passionate about supporting all people living with disability and has a particular interest in supporting people with acquired brain injuries and degenerative neurological conditions, having supported friends and family through these experiences.

Kate also values the connections she has developed with support providers and enjoys bringing people together to make a meaningful difference in participants’ lives.

We are very lucky to have Kate as part of the New Chapter Support team! 💛
