Sandi takes immense pride in balancing her role as a foster carer, a mother to two teenage daughters and as the CEO and founder of Grace Professional Services, a locally based NDIS Support Coordination Service.
Sandi has been a foster carer since 2021 and has provided care to a number of children. She currently has 2 young toddlers in her care.
After establishing the business Grace Professional Services in 2019, Sandi swiftly obtained registration as a NDIS provider in February 2020. She onboarded her first team member just one week before the onset of the initial COVID-19 lockdown. Throughout the challenging lockdown period, she dedicated herself tirelessly and is now a leader in the industry that assists vulnerable members of society. She also used this time to become a registered foster carer.
Sandi's dedication to community welfare remains unwavering. She created Sisterhood FMP, an initiative aimed at promoting awareness and education about domestic violence. Additionally, she held the positions of Founder and President at Hear Together Australia for 14 years, a support network for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families, and she served as a volunteer of the Frankston Toy Library for 13 years. Sandi played a pivotal role in elevating it to become one of Australia's largest toy libraries with Victoria’s largest range of special needs resources.
In her commitment to community service, Sandi actively volunteers across various local organisations, earning recognition through multiple awards for her selfless contributions. Notably, she takes immense pride in the rapid growth and national reach of Grace Professional Services, which stands as a trailblazer in supporting NDIS participants across the country. She employs many locals in her company and is very proud of the difference her team is making to people’s lives.
