What does your role at the support hub involve?
I started my role as Community Engagement Office in June 2026. I am a connecter to people and programs, and my role involves cultural advice and safety on First Nations issues.
What’s one area you’re particularly focused on right now?
I have had the privilege of being involved in six site visits and have really enjoyed meeting people. I am particularly focused on building strong lasting relationships and trust with all the service providers delivering the work on the ground.
What do you enjoy most about working with NATSIFACP service providers?
Meeting all the great staff, residents, and clients, and to see the real caregivers making life comfortable and enjoyable for my older people.
What’s something you’d like providers to know as the reforms roll out?
The Ninti One team are here to support and assist all aged care reforms. We have skilled specialists working alongside our project team and would like service providers to tap into these skills, so that organisations are best placed to keep up this invaluable work.
What’s your favourite downtime activity?
Spending time with family, making long lasting memories, being involved and participating in my culture. Being a role model for my extended families is important to me.
