My name is Tom. About me:

I have a Bachelor's Degree with Honours in Social Work from RMIT University. I have worked in the disability industry for 25 years, including as a Social Worker, Local Area Coordinator, Personal Carer, Day Service Staff, and Residential Worker.

I also worked for National Disability Services (NDS) who are the peak body for non-government disability providers, and was previously the Community Development and Capacity Building Coordinator with LCHS for Outer Gippsland.

I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, and a member organisation of NDS.

With this experience and background I have a rounded approach to the role, and am confident to tackle any situation, no matter how complex. I pride myself on being caring and curious, and if I don't have knowledge on a certain situation, I will do everything I can to understand it fully. I bill my services conservatively so that your plan goes as far as it can, and always have full accountability and transparency for the time I use.

I am passionate about disability, and helping modern Australians living with a disability to meet their potential and achieve their personal goals. I hope I can help you!

I'm happy to have an obligation free chat to see if my services might suit you, and look forward to hearing from you!

NDIS Support Coordination

Experienced local support coordination for NDIS participants in Gippsland and surrounding areas.

Local Support Coordination

My service will help identify and connect you with local services, build problem-solving skills, and develop the ability to manage supports more independently over time. I will be happy to provide ongoing guidance, help resolve any issues with service delivery, and ensure that all supports are working together effectively to help you reach your goals.

Experienced NDIS Assistance

Through support coordination, a person can gain clarity, confidence, and greater control over their NDIS plan. They receive personalised assistance in navigating the complexities of the NDIS, understanding what their funding can be used for, and choosing the most suitable providers to meet their needs.

He takes the time to understand clients’ needs, works closely with the client’s family and other supports, and prides himself on working through complex issues with the clients’ needs being the focus of all his work. I cannot recommend Tom more highly.”
