Our Team
Aaron Malouf, our General Manager, joined the team in 2024 and brought with him a dynamic blend of strategic leadership and purposeful communication.
Aaron’s approach is grounded in the belief that true impact comes from accountability and meaningful engagement. With a strong foundation in corporate communications and years of experience leading high-performing teams in the aged-care and education sectors, he’s passionate about creating positive change; not just through what we say, but how we deliver it.
Since stepping into the role, Aaron has been guiding our organisation through new initiatives that strengthen our social impact and deepen our connection with the communities we support. Building upon strong foundations, Aaron is motivated to elevate the organisation to it’s next level and create amazing opportunities for people living with disabilities.
The NDIS Department was established in 2017 to assist locals living with disabilities in navigating their NDIS plans.
Hayley has recently taken on the role of leading our team of dedicated individuals to provide supports in Plan Management, Support Coordination, Day Programs, Outings, Individualised Services, Yard Maintenance and Accommodation.
Hayley’s expertise and organisational skills are second to none and an incredible asset to the people we support within the community.
Commercial Services employ over 70 adults with mixed abilities. We provide numerous opportunities across a wide range of initiatives which include light manufacturing/assembly, mail box distribution, secure document collection/destruction, garden maintenance and nursery activities. Our team would be happy to assist you, so give us a call to discuss your requirements.
