I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the Burramattagal peoples on the land in which I work.
Senior Support Coordinator / Psychosocial Recovery Coach
From a young age, I have always been driven by a deep desire to help and understand others—a value instilled in me by my family and culture. This passion for giving back to the community has guided my journey, particularly in supporting individuals with mental health challenges. Growing up, I witnessed the stigma surrounding mental health, which only strengthened my commitment to raising awareness and advocating for accessible support.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences with a major in Psychology and am currently completing my Graduate Diploma of Psychology (Advanced).

I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the Dharawal peoples on the land in which I work.
Support Coordinator / Psychosocial Recovery Coach
I previously worked as a support worker, assisting individuals with complex behaviours to achieve their personal goals and live more independently. I’m deeply passionate about supporting people with complex needs, bringing both professional experience and personal insight to my work.
Having grown up in a family with a history of mental health challenges, I have a genuine empathy for those navigating similar experiences.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my children and watching them grow into their own unique personalities. I'm also a proud, self-proclaimed nerd—and wouldn’t have it any other way!

I have over 8 years of experience working in the disability sector, from being a support worker to managing a group home. I have helped support people with complex health needs, and people with complex behaviours, achieve their goals, and maintain their independence.
I am passionate about helping people and making a difference in someone’s life in a positive way. I am committed to supporting individuals and their families to create the life they deserve.
In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family, and travel. I am a big foodie and love to cook. I am a pop culture nerd – and when I get the chance I love to game.

Kiana Kamali
I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the Dharug peoples on the land in which I work.
Support Coordinator / Psychosocial Recovery Coach
With a Bachelor of Psychology, I have developed a strong interest in supporting people to build confidence, independence and a greater sense of control in their everyday lives. My background has given me an understanding of human behaviour, communication and the different factors that shape each person’s needs and experiences. I take a person-centred approach to support and value building genuine relationships based on trust, patience and respect. I believe each person deserves to feel heard, understood and involved in decisions about their own life.
Throughout my studies and professional experience, I have worked with people across different ages, backgrounds and stages of life. This includes mentoring young children and working alongside adults and older individuals with a range of support needs. These experiences have taught me to adapt my communication and approach to suit the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I enjoy getting to know people, understanding what matters to them and supporting them to work towards their personal goals. I aim to provide consistent and respectful support that helps people feel comfortable, valued and confident in their abilities.
