Julie brings a deeply personal and professional understanding to her work, shaped by both lived experience and extensive practice in the disability and early intervention sector. As a parent of a child with disability, Julie has first-hand insight into the complexities, challenges, and strengths of families navigating disability supports, education, and community inclusion.

With over 19 years of experience, Julie understands how families, mainstream services, community supports, and the NDIS can work together to support a child’s goals, development, and wellbeing through a truly family-centred approach.

Julie is a qualified Level 2 Counsellor with experience in special education support and inclusion, the Key Worker model, and the SOS Feeding approach. She has previously worked as a Delegate at the NDIA and most recently as a Community Development Coordinator within the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) approach.

Julie has a strong understanding of child development and developmental milestones, disability, and supporting vulnerable families. Through walking alongside families experiencing multiple and complex needs—both professionally and personally—Julie is passionate about providing individualised, strengths-based support that places families at the centre of decision-making.
