Since 2020, he has served as a dedicated Disability Support Worker, fostering independence and well-being among his clients.
Following further training in Behaviour Support last year, Julian now brings a comprehensive skill set and enthusiasm to his position as a Behaviour Support Practitioner with Ability Action Australia.

In his current role, Julian can offer support by:

• Providing tailored interventions

“I love seeing people develop skills that empower them and allow them to live life with more meaning and independence” says Julian.

Julian is looking forward to supporting NDIS participants across South East Brisbane.
