Lauren Brown
Specialist Support Coordinator - Melbourne Metro
Support Coordination is the perfect role for me - utilising my strengths of connecting with people, actioning tasks and celebrating outcomes. I feel honoured to be welcomed into peoples lives and hope to be able to support them through listening to their stories and assisting in making the most of their NDIS plan. Understanding the complexities and ever changing nature of the NDIS can be a difficult task for people with disability and their families. I enjoy helping broaden peoples knowledge and awareness of how the NDIS can work for them.
My education background is Disability Studies, Sociology and Psychology and I have worked in the disability field for over 20 years. I first began volunteering as a high school student and have maintained my passion for equality ever since. As your support coordinator with Future Focus I will bring this experience, along with my enthusiasm and energy. The values of Future Focus resonate strongly with me, I aim to bring my knowledge and compassion to all interactions within my work.
