Our Story
Growing up with a brother who has Down Syndrome meant that living with someone with different abilities was my “normal”. It wasn’t until I was well into school age that I realised what I experienced at home was not the common experience.
My brother could be described as a cheeky larrikin who always manages to see the good in every situation. I could go on for days about all the things I have learned from my big brother, but the biggest impact has been his ability to show me what unconditional love means. To love someone without limit or qualification is something he does with abundance.
I noticed from an early age the gaps in accessing appropriate services and supports and the impact this had on my brother’s wellbeing and ability to live his best life. What started with advocacy for my brother has now led to my passion to advocate for others living in our community with different abilities. I see Plan Management as a way of supporting people to access necessary assistance to ensure that living with a disability does not mean living with barriers.
