| I am so grateful for the support I have received over the years. Since I was 15 years old, Jo and her team have been respectful, caring and truly understanding of my disability and individual needs. They always make me feel safe and supported, while giving me opportunities to succeed and try new experiences. Their guidance has helped build my confidence and independence, and I appreciate the genuine care and commitment they show me every day. I am a volunteer with MECWACare and Frankston City Council and have won awards for my committment in my work as a barista at the Frankston North Community Centre.

| "Jo Thorne has been HW's incredible Support Person for nearly 6 years. H was in school when we first engaged Jo and he since has transtioned into adulthood with her support and understanding of his unique needs for his NDIS planning. During this period of time, we had to move three times to different States, and with each of the move we were lucky to have Jo to support us, research, contact relevant services and coordinate the much needed assistance. We really could not have done without her. Her knowledge and expertise in this area surpasses everyone's and her consistent attention to H's needs makes our lives much easier." IW |
| .Trust, consistency and dependability are what you will get from Jo. Her knowledge in the world of disability is limitless. She possesses the capacity to steer you in the right direction; she shows great compassion and a clear and empathetic understanding of the unique needs of each and every one of her clients and their families. I can’t thank Jo enough for her incredible and unwavering support when it comes to the intricacies, complexities, practices and procedures of the NDIS. As a family, we have watched our Amy transform into an amazing young woman, living her best life; we are eternally grateful to Jo for helping us make that happen. Tina Naughton 😊 |
