π WHY SIRV? WHY RIKKI-LEE?
One thing Iβve learnt working in disability and community services is that good support can genuinely change someoneβs life.
Not always through big milestones or life-changing moments, but often through the little things. Building trust, finding the right people, creating opportunities and helping someone achieve something they may not have thought possible.
Thatβs what Iβm passionate about, and itβs what brought me to Sirv.
I wanted to be part of something where we could take the time to really understand the people we support, build strong and consistent teams, and deliver services that are genuinely centred around the individual.
As Managing Partner of Sirv South Coast, Iβm fortunate to work alongside some incredible participants, families, support workers and allied health professionals.
We support people with a wide range of disabilities, including multiple diagnoses, complex care needs and behaviours of concern. I know that good support isnβt always straightforward. It takes patience, understanding, communication and a team willing to work together.
For me, itβs about seeing the person beyond their diagnosis or support needs.
Itβs about understanding what matters to them, what challenges they face and what they want their life to look like.
Sometimes that means breaking down big goals into smaller, achievable steps. Building confidence to access the community, developing everyday living skills, trying something new or simply creating a routine where someone feels safe, supported and understood.
And when those little achievements start adding up, thatβs where we see the real difference.
Iβm a big believer that the right support worker can make all the difference, which is why building the right team around each participant is so important to me.
At Sirv South Coast, weβre not just here to fill shifts. Weβre here to build relationships, create opportunities and support people to live a life that is meaningful to them.
Iβm proud of what weβre building across Ulladulla, Nowra, Batemans Bay and the surrounding South Coast communities, and Iβm excited to see where we can take it.
If youβre a participant, family member or support coordinator looking for a provider who is local, approachable and genuinely invested, Iβd love to connect.
