Meet the Team

Hello, my name is Theresa, and I am the Director of Family Disability and Support Services (FDSS).

My passion for creating FDSS is deeply personal. As the parent of a child with a disability, I experienced firsthand the significant challenges of accessing crucial support within a rural community. I struggled not only to navigate the complexities of the NDIS but also to access timely and effective mental health support for my family. At times, I felt overwhelmed and isolated, lacking the parental guidance and support necessary to thrive.

This experience fueled my conviction to help others facing similar circumstances. My vision for FDSS is built on providing a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, and compassionate guidance to fellow parents. While I do not claim to be an expert, I am fiercely devoted to leveraging my lived experience to assist others in the best way possible.

Our philosophy at FDSS is to cultivate a compassionate and caring support team that embraces the uniqueness of every family. We are dedicated to ensuring our clients are supported exactly the way they need to be, enabling their loved ones to live the best life possible. We believe in acknowledging the different abilities within our community, recognizing that every individual brings unique strengths and capabilities.

Hello there!

I’m Ryanda, and you’ll often find me at our office located at 73 King Street, Clifton! It's been over a year since I joined the amazing Family Disability team, and I absolutely love being part of this wonderful company.

If you don’t spot me in the office, I’m likely out in the field, spending time with our fantastic clients. I have a blast working with the kiddos as they chase their goals and supporting parents in reaching their aspirations too. I also enjoy connecting with adults of all ages, whether it's helping with cleaning, taking them to appointments, enjoying a fun day out, or just keeping them company at home. Our clients truly become part of our family, and that’s one of the best parts about working here. We all care so much for our clients and each other!

I’m a big fan of coffee, chatting, and sharing lots of laughs while giving my best to serve everyone.

I can’t wait to meet all of you! Please stop by the office and say hi!

Hi, I’m Patrina and I look after administration at FDSS. I help keep everything organised behind the scenes so communication is clear, schedules run smoothly, and our team can focus on supporting participants and families.

Hi, I’m Telina!

I’ve been part of the FDSS team since May 2025, and I absolutely love the genuine care and dedication FDSS shows toward every client.

I’m a free spirit who believes in meeting people where they are. I have experience working with clients of all ages and abilities, though my passion lies in supporting children to achieve their goals through creative, fun, and meaningful approaches.

Outside of work, I’m inspired by nature, art, and music — all of which often influence my supportive style.

When advocating for clients, I focus on planting seeds that encourage growth naturally. I aim to build relationships based on trust, respect, and choice — empowering clients to flourish and become the best version of themselves.

I hope to see you soon!

Hi, I’m Jess.

I joined FDSS as a Support Worker in August 2024. I’m passionate about helping people live fulfilling and independent lives, and I love supporting individuals to achieve their personal goals and grow in confidence.

Outside of work, I love the outdoors, camping, going for walks with my Dachshund, swimming, shopping, and discovering new places and adventures. I like meeting with different people, learning from their experiences, and working together to make a positive difference.

I’m always ready to lend a listening ear, providing a good laugh, and hope to contribute to making every day meaningful for the people I support.
