The heart and soul of every great company is its people and the most successful organisations are those in which the passions and values of its employees align with the guiding principles of the organisation.
A person-centred organisation puts individuals at the heart of everything they do.
This includes people they work for or support and their families, staff, and other stakeholders.
AT CFN we are a person-centred organisation that has the processes and structures in place for everyone, all the time, whatever they are doing.

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.

'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....

Leonie

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.

Summer
Summer

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.

Julie

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.

Cairney
Cairney

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 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.

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.
