Co-founders Kellie and Shelley have a combined experience of 40 years working in project and people management, both having degrees in Social Science and Management. Kellie and Shelley have been working in the disability sector in NSW for a combined 15 years. They have worked within the NDIS space from the start of the trial site period in Newcastle NSW.
