Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself… I’m Akeshia from Port Macquarie NSW….
I have capacity for new participants if you or your loved ones are looking for someone down to earth, funny (just as me) who loves a yarn and a good cuppa

Welcome to the group. I do love a good self described “random” coming into the mix.

Hi Akeshia. Welcome to the forum. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? What’s your background. What made you get into this industry. It helps us to get to know you a bit better.

Hi Michael7
I have a clinical mental health background with 17 years clinical and non clinical experience as well as lived experience as a loved one caring for family who are loving with a mix of needs and supports.
I have always had a love for face to face support and prior to NDIS coming in I worked for allied health however I love the participant focused approach NDIS delivers.

It’s always good to have more people around who really get it from both sides, professionally and personally. Sounds like you’ve got a lot of experience under your belt. Looking forward to hearing more from you in the threads.

Thank you Emily, some skills we learn via a book and others can only be taught by lived experiences

Hey Akeshia, welcome aboard! I can already tell you’re going to fit right in with that sense of humor! A good yarn and a cuppa? Sounds like my kind of conversation. Looking forward to hearing more from you and maybe even grabbing some of that famous Port Macquarie sunshine through your posts!
