Hi, I’m Kate, I am a PBS Clinician at Lancaster Consulting Australia. I’m relatively new to the company starting in September 2023. However, I’m not new to the disability sector having worked in various roles in government, not for profit and private enterprise for over 23 years, working as a PBS Clinician for the last 4 years.
I come from a family with a strong social justice background and have always been driven to support individuals with complex needs to live a life they want. I have qualifications in Disability and Design which are quite opposite, but I like to tell myself there’s applicability of both in my current role, both involve analysing and changing environments to better suit people.
I love working in Behaviour Support because the focus is on increasing quality of life and proactively supporting people to achieve great outcomes. Outside of work my life is busy, with school age identical twins that keep me on my toes, as well as my tiny and eccentric chinchilla cat, Daphne and my giant galoot of a dog, Howard who is a Maremma and a therapy dog ‘in training’.
