About

What I do, and why it matters

I support NDIS participants, their families, guardians and support teams to understand plans, connect with services and prepare for reviews. My approach is grounded in respect for the person behind the plan - their goals, strengths and right to make informed decisions.

With a legal background and hands-on experience across complex disability environments, I understand the systems, the paperwork and the rights. More importantly, I know how to translate that knowledge into practical, everyday support.

Whether someone is new to the NDIS or has been navigating it for years, my role is to make things clearer and more manageable, and to stand alongside them when things get complicated.

What sets this service apart

Support that sees the whole person, not just the plan.

  • Legal background and systems knowledge
  • Direct, honest and practical communication
  • Steady coordination when situations are complex
  • WA-based knowledge and professional networks

How I can help

Seven ways I can support you

From understanding your plan to navigating complex situations - this is what working with me can look like.

01

Support Coordination

I help participants understand their NDIS plan, identify and connect with suitable providers, and build the skills and systems needed to coordinate their supports over time.

02

Specialist Support Coordination

For participants with more complex needs, I provide a higher level of support to address barriers, resolve service challenges and ensure plans are used effectively.

03

Complex Case Management

When situations involve multiple systems, agencies or high-risk circumstances, I coordinate across teams so nothing falls through the cracks.

04

Plan Review Preparation

I help participants and families organise evidence, articulate needs clearly and approach review conversations feeling informed and prepared.

05

NDIS Access Preparation

For people who may be eligible for the NDIS, I help gather information, understand access criteria and navigate the application process.

06

Meeting Support

I attend multidisciplinary, planning and other formal meetings so participants understand what is being discussed and have their voice heard.

07

Service Navigation

Finding the right providers and services in WA can be overwhelming. I use local knowledge and networks to help identify practical options.

Please note: Service availability depends on the participant's funding management, support needs and whether there is a good fit between what is needed and what I offer. I am always happy to have an initial conversation.

Why work with me

What makes this different

The NDIS can feel complex and impersonal. My goal is to be the opposite - clear, warm and genuinely useful to each person I work with.

01

A legal foundation

My Bachelor of Laws background supports clear thinking across guardianship, rights, safeguards and other complex frameworks.

02

Genuinely person-centred

I start by listening. Every person's circumstances, goals and support needs are different, so the work is shaped around the individual.

03

Transparent and direct

I am honest about what I can and cannot do, whether I am the right fit and what the system is realistically likely to deliver.

04

Steady in difficult situations

I work confidently across crisis points, service breakdown, housing instability and other high-stakes environments.

05

Local knowledge in Western Australia

Being based in WA means I understand the local service landscape, the gaps and the practical realities of accessing support.

06

Collaborative with teams and families

I work alongside families, guardians, providers and allied health teams so everyone is moving in the same direction.

Meet Adva

Experience across systems. Commitment to people.

I am a Specialist Support Coordinator, Case Manager and advocate with a background spanning disability, justice, housing, family and domestic violence, and guardianship. I hold a Bachelor of Laws and bring legal literacy, systems thinking and deep human understanding to my work with NDIS participants.

I founded AB Coordination and Advocacy after years working within complex NDIS environments, including with the Office of the Public Advocate. I work with participants whose situations others find too difficult, too layered or too far outside standard coordination. That is precisely where I am most effective.

My approach is direct and honest. I do not manage people; I set up teams, then work alongside them. I stay when things get hard, and I know the difference between what a system says it will do and what it actually does.

AB Coordination and Advocacy is based in Perth, Western Australia.
