25.01.2022 Here at Sage we love feedback: Testimonial In everyone’s life, at sometime, our inner strength just starts to burn out. Our voice just doesn’t seem to be heard, our frustration starts to consume our thoughts and it’s our child who is seen as not having a voice. But our lives found that flame three years ago. And it was being introduced to Kelly as my daughter’s new Support Coordinator. I had no hesitation, but only such gratitude in following Kelly into her next journey. Kel...ly’s knowledge, dedication and commitment are an inspiration to be commended for. My daughter has been very unwell and needed hospitalisation. Kelly has supported us, bought me hot coffee, given me that shoulder to lean on, hours have passed by into the night and Kelly has been there for us. Kelly has introduced my daughter to programs that only enhance her confidence, where she has been able to build great relationships with others. What once was such a stressful experience for my daughter in trying to express herself and have a voice, Kelly has connected us with such professional and empathetic workers. Kelly has taught us to always keep our faces toward the sunshine, and the shadows will always fall behind us. Thank You Kelly from the bottom of our hearts

12.01.2022 Sage is pleased to introduce our new team member: Emily has over a decade of first-hand understanding of the achievements and frustrations that came from seeking unique, disability related supports, for members of her own family. She has channelled a passion for personal empowerment and lateral thinking, along with her understanding of the legal and health care systems, plus the DHHS, Centrelink and NDIS structures to forge a career assisting other families who live with disa...bility. Emily has attained certificates in Individual Support, is currently learning AUSLAN and has gained vast NDIS experience in her previous role as a Local Area Coordinator. These opportunities have enabled her to tailor individualised supports, foster greater independence, develop a wide network of connections and gain deep understanding of how meaningful change is always possible. She develops a respectful comprehension of each person’s situation through actively listening to discover what matters most. She partners with the families and important people, uses creative problem-solving strategies, performs comprehensive research and takes an empathetic approach to each individual’s needs, so she can deliver high calibre support. When Emily is not working, she can be found playing with her two dogs, three children and exploring family friendly spaces. She is keen to uncover more new places across the Greater Geelong, Surf Coast and Bellarine regions, after relocating here six years ago.
