Service Manager
"I have been supporting clients for nearly 7 years now having found a job I absolutely love. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a field where compassion, empathy, and genuine connection with clients are at the forefront. My work isn't just about providing services; it's about making a positive impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities. We are striving to achieve this at both of our Community Services here in Melbourne."
