Meet the CFN Team

For more than 30 years, I have been working within the Disability sector and held diverse and varied roles.

Travelling is one of my many passions – in particular countries of the Third World.  I am grateful that, since a very young age, I have had the opportunity to travel far and wide.  Volunteering as a trainee in India, Nepal, Vietnam and Cambodia has been an honour. In these roles I have worked closely with facilitators in narrative therapy, local professionals within these countries, women and children.

The intention of my work both at home in Australia and in the capacity of volunteer, has always been to support individuals to navigate life changing experiences in ways that focus on people’s strengths; allowing people to feel heard, acknowledged and to recognised that they are valued.

I appreciate assisting individuals to plan for their future; looking at the big picture, guiding and setting goals around individuals hopes and dreams for now and into the future.   It always has been and will continue to be a privilege, listening to people tell their story, in their own words.   I have found that my interest in planning has been useful for many families as they prepare for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

I believe that success in business is about feelings – the way we feel about the organisation or the people within the service; how we behave informs our decisions about how people choose to conduct themselves within the work place.  Being passionate about our work connects each one of us to a strong sense of purpose and fulfilment.

My ideal day would be strolling or sitting on the beach with my fur baby Mia and husband, listening to the waves roll in.  I am at my happiest by the ocean; it is therapeutic for me.  In fact, my favourite holiday destination would be anywhere by the ocean.

Hello, I'm Becca, and I am the Short-Term Accommodation (STA) Lead Coordinator at CFN. I am absolutely thrilled to be in a position where I can lead a dynamic team of passionate staff and experience the daily joy of our guests. As a proud mother of three beautiful children, my family means the world to me. Most of my spare time revolves around their busy sporting and social commitments, as I strive to create cherished memories and provide them with a memorable childhood.

My journey at CFN began in 2017, and it has had a profound and positive impact on my life. During my time here, I have had the privilege of personal and professional growth. I am grateful for the open-door policy we maintain, as it brings me immense joy to receive visits from the individuals and families we support. It is an absolute honour to listen to their unique stories and provide assistance, support, and guidance to help them achieve their goals.

Whenever an opportunity arises, I eagerly engage in activities and enthusiastically participate in everything CFN has to offer. This organisation has truly become my second home, and I genuinely love coming to work each and every day.

STA Lead Coordinator ensures the day-to-day efficiency and high level of support in our Short-Term Accommodation (STA) service. The key focus of the role is to assist the service function of the business in achieving operational effectiveness in line with CFNs core values. The role leads a team of connectors to ensure effective and positive outcomes for the guests and their families.

Hi, my name is Heather. I grew up in Western Australia and moved to Queensland in 2010. Queensland is now home with both my Mum, sister and her young family living close by. I love being Aunty Heather to my two nephews and my niece.

I have a Bachelor of Business Management from the University of Queensland. As part of my Degree I had the opportunity to spend a semester studying in Montreal. I really enjoy travel and have had the opportunity to travel through the Americas and across Europe.

In my free time I tend to keep busy volunteering for various organisations. I also enjoy catching up for coffee or a meal with friends/family or alternatively you will find me relaxing at home watching something on Netflix or YouTube.

'Hi there, I'm Cody! I have been with CFN since early 2017. I was introduced to working in the Disability Sector on a working holiday in London and I have not looked back since.  I really love what I do, there is nothing else I could see myself doing. I cherish the connections I have been so fortunate to make with the people I support, and I am grateful for them every day.

If I'm not working, I am usually found at the beach or in my backyard soaking up the sun. I love being outdoors and often take hikes or head out on camping trips.

If that Isn't enough to keep me busy, I am also the father to a beautiful, smelly old dog who I met at the RSPCA.  Rex is a good boy! However, he does have a proclivity for chasing Toads and bush Turkeys, but we all have our vices....

Social and Community Lead Coordinator - Responsible for the day-to-day coordination of CFN Social and Community Services – Group Programs and Getaways. The role manages the Leisure and Recreation Coordinator and teams of program drivers and connectors to ensure effective and positive outcomes for participants and their families, and compliance with all aspects of standards and all other legal and contractual compliance requirements.

Hello!  I’m Leonie and I started with CFN in 2019. I am a happy, bright and bubbly person who loves people, animals, and good food, particularly if it’s home grown.  I enjoy writing, being creative, and using dis-guarded goods to create practical and decorative ‘upcycled’ items for repurposing.

My career has been wide and varied including lengths of time in a corporate sales and training environment, and also in a healing role conducting Reiki and Holistic Counselling Services, both for which I am Qualified.

I love being around people which is why I decided to become a support worker. I am passionate about advocating for people and assisting them to make their own choices about how they wish to live their lives, what their goals are, and how they intend to achieve them. I work in the office most of the time these days, but I love it when our guests and their families come and visit me, or I get to visit them and I love hearing all about their recent adventures and stories.

My favorite past time is laughing, and I sure do a lot of it, as you will likely hear if I’m in the vicinity. I believe it’s good for the soul and I love sharing my warped sense of humor with those around me.

Connections Coordinator Provides a high level of administrative assistance to the CFN Leadership Team, STA and Enthuse teams. The connection coordinator role is the link between CFN sites, employees, participants, community, and documentation.  The role also involves CFN employee training allocation, monitoring, and follow up in accordance with CFN company policies and Australian/State safety standards.

I grew up in the small country town of Kilcoy with my parents and my older brother.  My family taught me to love music, food, family, and friends.

I have worked in hospitality and administration roles, but I was never 100% with what I really wanted to do.  When I was 19 years old, I booked a month-long trip travelling Europe and I fell in love with the world.

Once I returned home, I made the huge decision to move to London for two years.

Whilst in London, I worked as a teacher assistant in a special needs school, I was working specifically with children with Autism.  I fell in love with the children and from then on I was very passionate about this career.

On the weekends I would book a trip to Europe with my friends and during the week I went to work in a job that I really enjoyed.

When I arrived home, I was told about CFN and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Hi! I’m Rachael!

I am originally from Sydney, with Qld being my home for a few years now. I have an amazing partner and two beautiful boys who are my world! We love the beach, 4wding, going camping and spending time with family and friends. My ideal weekend would include any of these, a good coffee, cheese, and biscuits!  

I am approachable, respectful, and caring, and am always up for a chat.  

I am quite new to disability, having worked in the Aged Care sector for 8 years I was looking for a change, but still wanted something where I felt I could make an impact. I am happy to be a part of the CFN Team and enjoy helping our participants make the most of every day!

Hi, I'm Alana or Lana.

I'm passionate about working in the disability sector. My passion stems from my child who has extra abilities. I started out working in the sector by being a volunteer at Epic Assist, I knew from there on out I wanted to be a part of the sector.

I've worked at CFN since mid 2020 and believe I'm very lucky to be a part of the team.

My strengths would have to be the ability to always give something a go without giving up!

Being a proud mum to my child, three cats and a dog is a highlight in my life. My child has taught me a lot about the world. I believe having a positive attitude is important and kindness is not to be forgotten.

I enjoy outdoor activities, a bit of a bookworm, love art and crafts, love Disney and Harry Potter.

Look forward to seeing you around CFN!

Hello! My name is Melanie but you can call me Mel. I have a lovely husband, two teenage kids, and a funny little dog called Dexter. I’ve lived in the region for over 30 years (on and off) and enjoy exploring the bush and waterholes, as well as spending time at the art gallery and library. I’m studying art history at Uni (part-time) and I teach art and craft whenever I can! My deep love of vintage clothes is expressed through the paintings I make, and I can talk about art and fashion until the cows come home. The connections between people and creativity are very important to me, and I love to discover new ways to spark interest and happiness in others.

Kon-nichiwa! (Hi!)
My name is Ai. I have been a support worker at CFN for three months and have been the grapher for PATH for 2 years. I love working with so many colourful individuals, they are all like a beautiful rainbow. Every day is so much fun!

I originally came from Japan and moved to Australia in 2001 as an overseas student to study English and complete my University Degree in Human Services in Brisbane.

My family is everything to me, my (very Japanese way) husband, my kids and my 'gentle giant' puppy dog. They make me smile all the time.

I describe myself as a very positive, open, very honest with a hard working mind and I like to support people with any background. Other than work I enjoy karaoke, craft and shopping!

Please feel free to have a chat with me whenever you see me.

Arigatou (Thank you).

My name is Juliana and my background is of Torres Strait Islander descent. I was born at Thursday Island and lived in Bamage, a small indigenous community in the far northern part of Cape York Peninsula Queensland. I've attended Bamaga State School and Senior Year at Bamaga High. Completed my Junior Certificate at Cairns State High School then continued my further education at Cairns Business College with a Diploma of Clerk Typist. I worked as a Trainee at Cairns Employment Center.

I come from a very extended family where we were taught respect and responsibilities by our elders and traditional values are important factors to be passed down to young generations. I've got two brothers and three sisters so growing up amongst huge families have given me the opportunity to share why I’m passionate about working with people with disabilities. My sister has intellectual Impairment and a nephew who has cerebral palsy and so I've learnt a lot from them to be able to help and support families at present.

I have seven children, four sons and three daughters and five grandchildren. I was a stay home mum for 10yrs before applying for a teachers aide position at Caboolture Special School in 1994 and am still employed at present for over 24years. I'm very passionate about my work and was interested to know whereabouts of my former students. Anyway I start to make enquiries, apparently a work mate suggested CFN. I am now working for CFN as a Support Worker and I was so happy to be supporting these young people that are living a productive lives when leaving school.

My hobbies and interests are basketball, camping, fishing and spending quality time with my family. I play recreational basketball once a week and attend local gym for fitness, exercise lessons twice a week. I'm very easy going person, I love telling jokes and sometimes people think that I'm serious but I'm NOT?? LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD LAUGH EVERY NOW AND THEN😀

CFN is a dedicated non-profitable organization and I'm proud to be part of a very exciting group of workmates who support each other. It's a great pleasure to be supporting these young people with a diverse range of intellectual disabilities that can live a meaningful, satisfying, and productive lives within their own communities.

Hi! My name is Cairney. I grew up in Mandurah, an hour south of Perth in WA with my mum, dad, 3 sisters, 2 dogs, 3 horses and 1 very recalcitrant cat. We had a very busy and chaotic household that was always full of adventures and love. I always had a passion for caring  (particularly for medicine) and the people behind the medicine. This led me to start volunteering as a St. John Ambulance Cadet from the age of 8. After graduating from high school, I took a few years to travel the world and eventually moved to Brisbane to start my Bachelor of Paramedicine at ACU in Banyo.

I started working for CFN in 2017 as I wanted a job where I could really care for the people I was working with and feel like I was making a difference in their lives (and them in mine) while I was studying. What I found was a career that I truly love and value every day.

In 2018 I took 14 months off work and had to withdraw from my degree due to a hip injury. Returning to work in 2019 has given me the greatest joy. I love my job, I love my clients and I love CFN.

Hi my name is George . I started working for CFN this year. Prior to this I've had many different roles including being a stay at home dad to look after my daughter with special needs.

I enjoy helping make a difference in peoples lives. I am involved with "Makers Station" as I have a passion for teaching how to make things, particularly out of timber. I also do other things within the Enthuse group, as well as individual support work.

In my spare time I enjoy woodwork, DIY, gardening, ten pin bowling, fundraising, travel, motorbike rides and adventures with my partner. Next years adventure is taking part in the Mystery Box Rally to raise money for the Cancer Council.

Hi my name is Paula. I have been working in the disability sector for 8 years or so now. In those years I have gained many certificates and a lot of experience. I started my courses to be a better mother to my child’s autistic needs, as I needed to understand my child on their level. The more I learnt and worked with people the more I fell in love with the career. 

I have a beautiful blended family with 8 children, 4 of my own and 4 step children. Ages range from 12 to 21. I also cared for my father for several years before he passed away with cancer.

Although I have worked many of jobs in my life nothing compares to working along side someone with special needs. Knowing that you are changing their life everyday for the better is beyond rewarding. I have worked with all ages and many of different disabilities.

Hi my name is Ella and I’ve recently joined the CFN family (late 2022). Despite being new to working in the disability sector, I am not new to assisting and supporting others. My previous roles have consisted of dental assisting and working alongside charity fundraising. During my spare time I enjoy reading, going to the beach and catching up with friends. It sounds cliché but it really is the small things that are the most enjoyable! My goal at CFN is for every individual to feel heard, respected and uplifted.

Hey, my name is Jonathon. I am 20 years old and I am from Beachmere. I am the youngest child of 4 and I am the only boy. I am a young guy who is into sports and outdoor activities. I enjoy the beach, camping and being social. I played tennis for many years ever since I was a kid where I used to represent Queensland in tennis tournaments. I am currently studying Paramedicine at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

My passion for helping people has come from growing up with an older sister with a disability. Seeing my sister grow with the support and help from others has made me want to do the same. I am lucky to have been welcomed to CFN by all the members and staff.

Hi I'm Jessica!

I'm 24 years old and grew up in the Northside of Brisbane. I enjoy spending time with my partner and my dog Morgan. I enjoy the outdoors, going for walks, going to the beach, camping, gym, cooking and spending time with my friends and family. I love travel and have been to many places in the world.

I have worked in the Hospitality Industry for the past 6 years and left in January 2021 to go follow my dreams to study to become Support Worker within my local community.  I have recently completed my Certificate III in Individual Support at Tafe Caboolture. Since gaining my qualification, I have gained experience working in Aged Care and Individual Support. This experience has led me to starting my dream job at CFN.

I have always wanted to be in career, where everyday is different. I love the client based and lifestyle based approach CFN has to offer. I wish to support the individuals of CFN, build rapport and help them to reach their goals and aspirations.

Hello my name is Steve. I started working with CFN in early 2020 as a support worker and I love my job. I strive to be the best person I can and I bring care and compassion, to the people I work with and their families. I am constantly trying to improve myself with in this industry as there is always more that can be learnt.

I moved to Queensland about 10 years ago and for most of my life I have been a truck Driver travelling all over this big beautiful country. A few years ago I finally decided to for fill my dream and work in the disability industry, which is one of the best careers moves anybody could do, it is so rewarding.

Being a country boy at heart I love the outdoors, fishing, camping and taking the boat out and enjoying the water, motorcycles, my dog and target shooting are my real go to for unwinding.

G’day, my name is William, and I am twenty something-year-old fellow Aussie from Kilcoy.

I come from a trade background and previously built caravans for a couple years and looked after a team of my own. After gaining a lot of experience and being successful in that line of work, I decided to try a completely different field as I crave new experiences, so I decided to study a Certificate IV in Youth Work through TAFE QLD. Despite being new to this field of work, I have always been a very compassionate person and always loved to help people and would do this a lot throughout my previous working endeavours by supporting and leading my team while ensuring a great level of quality work and respect was achieved within the business, my colleagues, and our clients.

Outside of work, I love to live life to the fullest. I love to go mountain climbing, paddleboarding, camping, fishing, 4wding, spending quality time with my family and friends, and love both the bush and the beach. I also love music, playing guitar and training in martial arts and I also have three beautiful Aussie Bulldogs and a gorgeous horse.

Thanks for reading a bit about me and look forward to getting to know you.

My name is Leighann.  I am married and have three children, my eldest son lives in Kalgoolie, my daughter lives with me and is studying to be a registered nurse, and my youngest son has Autism and is about to start year 8.

In 2014 my family and I moved from Norther NSW to Ningi and since I have such a great background working with people, I decided to study to become a support worker. Since completing my studies, I have had the privilege of working with some wonderful people in aged care, community care, and supported Independant living, and I have never looked back.

Hi Everyone,

I’m Brittney. I’ve been in the industry for over 5 years and have loved every moment of empowering those around me. Before becoming a support worker, I worked in a hair salon as a hairdresser so I think that's where my passion for helping others and making people feel their best stemmed from. I’m a busy mum of two with one fur child named Molly. 

My weekends are typically spent at our local football club where my son plays team sport. I love finding waterfalls and being active in the gym. 

I’m very excited to be a part of the CFN culture.
