Meet the CFN Team

Hello, I'm Becca, proudly the Director at CFN. I am incredibly honored to lead a team of passionate individuals who are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Since joining CFN in 2017, this organisation has profoundly shaped my life. The opportunities for personal and professional growth here have been invaluable. One of the aspects I treasure most is our open-door policy, which allows me to connect with the individuals and families we support. It is a privilege to hear their stories and walk alongside our participants and their families in reaching their goals.

My vision for CFN is a place where every person, participants, families, and staff, is welcomed and supported to achieve the life they want to live. We focus on strengths to ensure that everyone has opportunities for growth and independence. Our core values of Connection, Authenticity, and Curiosity are deeply woven into the fabric of our culture. We strive to build genuine relationships, stay true to ourselves, and foster a spirit of exploration and learning. These values guide us in creating a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered.

I am extremely passionate about every aspect of CFN. This place has become much more than just a workplace for me. I genuinely love coming to work each day, knowing that I am part of a community that cares deeply and makes a real impact.

Being a proud mother of three wonderful children, my family is my heart and soul. My spare time is often spent supporting their various sporting and social activities, and I cherish every moment of creating lasting memories with them.

I look forward to meeting you soon. Please come and say hello, I'll put the kettle on!

For more than 40 years, I have worked 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 Cody, and I’ve had the privilege of being apart of CFN since early 2017. My journey into the disability sector began living in London, where I discovered my passion for caring, advocating, and empowering individuals with disabilities. This work has become my true calling, and I’ve been dedicated to it ever since.

CFN has been instrumental in my growth, both professionally and personally. I started here doing support work, engaging in community access, in-home support, STA, group support, and almost everything else you can imagine. Today, I’m proud to lead a team of passionate and inspiring individuals within the Social and Community sector. CFN is all about nurturing individuals to grow and work toward becoming the best versions of themselves in every aspect, and I’m grateful to be a part of that mission.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me chasing new adventures – whether it be enjoying the outdoors on a camping trip, gathering with friends for a weekend of socialising, or simply unwinding at home with my dog. I believe in making the most of life, in and out of the workplace!

Whether you’re considering accessing our services, joining our vibrant team, or just learning more about we do, I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you.

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 its home grown.  I enjoy writing, being creative, and going to the beach.

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.

Hi! I’m Summer. My CFN journey started back in 2020. Prior to this, I did a 2 year stint in London where I worked as a teachers assistant & nanny and spent my weekends travelling Europe. 

In my spare time you can usually find me relaxing with a book or a tv series, with family (more specifically: obsessing over my baby nephew, Waylon), or attempting to tame a crazy beagle. 

It is a privilege to walk alongside the staff, participants and families here at CFN. I look forward coming to work every single day. 

I will be forever grateful for the opportunities CFN has offered me. 

Leisure Coordinator Responsible for assisting the Social and Community Lead Coordinator in the day-to-day coordination of the Enthuse Program and managing and developing Getaways. The role manages our team of Program Drivers and Connectors to ensure effective and positive outcomes for participants and their families.

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! 

Hello, I’m Jess. My journey with CFN began in 2016 as the Retreat Supervisor, after having my second child I decided to take a break—going from one child to two is quite an adjustment! Four years later I returned to CFN which felt incredibly meaningful to me, as I wasn’t just coming back to a workplace, but reconnecting with a community that felt like family.

Before joining CFN, I lived in Perth where I started my Certificates in Aged Care. However, I found myself gravitating more towards the Disability units. This led me to start working as a support worker in Supported Independent Living Accommodation, where I eventually became the house manager.

A bit about me: I'm British with a Mancunian accent, and I've been in Australia for about 13 years. I've recently become an Australian citizen (yay!). I'm a mum of three—two cheeky boys and one gorgeous stepdaughter. When I’m not working, you can usually find me running around after the kids or exercising; I've recently rediscovered my love for it.

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.

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.

The Lead Connector is required to walk alongside and be directed by people with disabilities, their families, and significant others to achieve positive outcomes as identified in their NDIS plans.  The role is to develop programs within a group context and work collaboratively and creatively with participants and members of the team, to develop strength based, developmental programs to ensure participants are building their capacity to live lives that are meaningful, and strengthens their capacity, valued roles, and relationships.

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.

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.

Hey there! I'm Keeley, and I've been a proud member of the CFN team since 2018. As a support worker, I have a genuine passion for working with people who live with disabilities. I’m dedicated to helping out wherever I'm needed and being part of a team that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.

When I’m not at work, I like to live a simple life, camping, spending time at the beach with my staffy Bubba, who’s always up for an adventure!

I’m excited to be part of a team that’s so committed to making a difference. I Look forward to seeing what we can achieve together!

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.

Hi, my name is Lynne. I’m a wife, Mum to four adult children, and Grammie to fifteen amazing grandkids.

I love to have fun and put smiles on faces wherever I go. My happy place is the beach and being close to the ocean. I adore all types of animals and have 2 cats of my own.

My career has spanned across a few industries including hospitality, corporate roles, and family day care. I have a certificate III in Early Childhood and a certificate IV in Business Sales.

I love to make a positive difference in people’s lives by showing kindness, having fun, and making life memories with them.

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. I started my career working for a govt funded organisation for many years before becoming a flight attendant first with Ansett Airlines, then with Virgin. After having my daughter it was time for a change so I became a Phlebotomist with QML after studying at the Mater hospital. 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.

Hi, my name is Terry. I've been involved with CFN for many years as a parent of Sam, who spent many happy weekends at the retreat. Some may remember me as Santa back in the day, that was a real joy to do.

I've done a lot travelling around Australia mostly by motorcycle, and I enjoy camping and adventuring. I'm enjoying my time with the CFN Team and members, especially catching up with a few old friends.

Hello, I'm Kelly,

I grew up in Far North Queensland and have lived in Brisbane for 10 years with my family. I am a proud mum to 5 children.

I love being outdoors, fishing, cooking, painting, listening to music, spending time with friends/family and taking our dog Saxon to the beach.

I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, safe homes, supported independent living, residential and community care. My goal is to provide the highest quality of care, dignity and respect that I would want for myself and loved ones to receive.

I am proud of my integrity, like to look at the positives and learn new things.

Seeing people live the best version of themselves makes me smile. I often find myself singing at work, I am enjoying working with the CFN community.

My name is Nicholas, but people call me Nicki.

Before becoming a support worker, I worked in the childcare sector for 11 years. After two years running a childcare center, I decided I needed a change and chose to work at CFN Association in early 2024. I've lived in the suburbs around Caboolture for most of my life, growing up on a large property in Morayfield surrounded by bushland and lots of animals. Currently, I live with my partner in Beachmere where we are rewilding our garden to create habitats for the beautiful local wildlife. Clearly, I love nature, but I also enjoy doing all sorts of arts and crafts. I have dabbled in all sorts of media over the years too. So, if you would like to learn how to do something creative, I could probably show you how to get started.

Hi my name is Chloe,

I am so happy to be part of the CFN family.  During the past five years, I have worked as an Occupational Therapy Assistant and a Teacher's Aide. I love working alongside people and having the opportunity to create new and shared experiences along the way.

Prior to that I was fortunate enough to be able to move to Cambodia for 5 years where I worked in an orphanage for people with disabilities and taught English. My time in Cambodia taught me a lot and I will forever cherish everyone I met along the way.

In my spare time I love to be at the beach, spending time with my partner, friends, and family. I also love some quiet alone time with a book or watching movies.
