DIRECTOR, SPECIALIST SUPPORT COORDINATOR

Margaret McGrath

It was becoming a grandmother that made me decide to leave the corporate world, reduce my hours and spend time with my grandson.

As part of this next phase, I started working as a support worker – and I found that I absolutely loved it.  Spending time with beautiful people who are excited to see me each day and know that if I didn’t turn up it would make a difference to their life.

I founded Collabor8 Supports in 2020. The name Collabor8 Supports was important to me as it refers to me and the Participant working together, collaboratively, to support them to achieve their goals.

There is something very special when you have worked really hard to achieve something that will make a huge difference in someone’s life – that feeling is incredible.

OFFICE MANAGER

Julie Musty

I am a proud mother of an adult son with Autism so have been involved in the NDIS industry since its inception. As such, I have a deep understanding of the system as a participant and as a provider.

I have been with Collabor8 Supports as Office Manager for 3 years and  I have been able to provide strong support to Margaret as we strive to make positive changes to the lives of those we support.

I find my role very satisfying and feel like a valued part of the
Collabor8 Supports Team.

SUPPORT COORDINATOR

Bruna Fletcher

Since arriving in Australia from Brazil, I have been working in the disability sector. The role of Support Coordinator provided me with the opportunity to better understand the daily challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the importance of having a good Support Coordinator who takes the client's needs seriously, respects each client's individuality, and thinks creatively to find solutions with them.

For the past 3 years, I have been working with Collabor8 Supports and I am very passionate about my work in helping clients find ways to connect with the opportunities they need to achieve their goals. Working with Collabor8 Supports has been an amazing experience from the beginning, as our team shares similar values and a strong belief in a client-centered approach, working together to ensure our clients feel cared for and supported.

“I have met with Margaret a few times now and it is always a simple, fun experience. It feels like I have known her forever. I love that Margaret checks in with me every 3 months to make sure I am on track budget wise and also helps prepare me for reviews. Ahead of our move interstate soon, Margaret and Julie are already looking at companies and resources for us in the area we are moving to, which means we can get things in place for Lizzy quickly once we move.”
