Mindful Action provides specialised skills development and wellbeing support for self-employed independent support workers and agencies across the disability, aged care and mental health sectors in Australia.
 

Whether you're seeking a confidential space to debrief after a challenging day, navigate client interactions that impact your wellbeing, explore coaching for skill development, career guidance or gain insights on participant goal setting, I'm here to help!
 

My background as a specialist Mental Health Support Worker, private Counsellor and Service Coordinator within the NDIS gives me a strong understanding of the unique challenges in this field. As an independent support worker myself, I often felt isolated and wished for someone to share ideas with – whether about participant goals, debriefing after a difficult shift, or navigating behavioural challenges. This personal experience motivated me to become that crucial support person for others. As a qualified and experienced professional in this space, this felt like a natural progression.
 

Beyond vital debriefing, I can assist with skill development and offer guidance aimed at improving your wellbeing and service delivery. For instance, we can explore common topics like breaking down NDIS participant goals into achievable smaller steps, or offering fresh perspectives and new ideas for your support work. We can also address important concerns such as boundary setting between yourself and your participants, which can often be hard within the role. Or, if working with someone has triggered something within your own life and you just need to talk about that – we can work through this together.
 

Investing in your continuous skill development and personal growth not only ensures participants receive the best possible care but also ensures you feel heard and supported in your role.
 

How I Can Assist:

• Individual Support (ISW & Agency Staff): Confidential 30 or 60-minute sessions via Google Meet, Zoom, or phone.

• Organisational Packages: Customised monthly time packages available for agencies and providers.

• Specialised Coaching: Focused support skills coaching, mentoring and career guidance.

• Wellbeing Support: Essential debriefing and confidential discussions around workplace impact.
   

In this demanding role, having a dedicated space for debriefing, mentoring, and professional support is crucial for your wellbeing. Support workers often face burnout from constantly prioritising others. By investing in your own mental health and continuous skill improvement, you ensure both your longevity in the field and the best possible care for participants.
