When he was a Manager for a major Australian fast-food chain, our CEO employed two teenage boys diagnosed with Aspergers; his first experience with people diagnosed with a disability. He quickly saw how all staff and management bullied and isolated them from the team and was criticised for employing them.

After researching their diagnosis and how to get the best outcomes, he began training the boys and other staff members to work with them.

In the end, both boys became valued staff members, sought after by all managers, working full-time hours and training other staff on workstations due to their focus, routine and consistent quality.

After witnessing the struggles, bullying and isolation of people diagnosed with a disability, our CEO began working within the disability sector where he was exposed to many difficult situations and stories of neglect and disadvantage. He delved into researching the experiences of Australian people with a disability and institutionalised care settings to better understand the treatment they received. He also took an interest in behavioural participants and attended PART and MAYBO training sessions to learn and assist trainers with their sessions.

Through these experiences, our CEO has worked with many individuals to problem solve and improve the lives of people living with complex disabilities. From his passion to support Australians with disabilities, Home Carer’s Alliance grew. Our mission: to empower more and more lives.
