At Thriving In Unity, we’re a Registered NDIS Provider that sees the person behind the plan. With a mix of lived experience and clinical knowledge, we understand the impact the right support can have.
We’ve used “we” a lot – but who’s behind the support at Thriving in Unity?
We’re Jodie and Christine – a mother and daughter founding team who bring together clinical expertise, aged care experience and lived experience, with a shared passion for meaningful, person-centred support.
Between us, we’ve spent decades working across healthcare, aged care and community settings. We’ve seen first-hand the difference the right support can make in helping people build confidence, connection and a sense of belonging.
Together with our dedicated team, we deliver support that is professional, personalised and focused on what matters most to each individual. We believe great support starts with understanding the person, not just their plan.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: everyone deserves to feel valued, supported and connected within their community.
No one left out. No one left behind.
I’m a Clinical Nurse Specialist with 15 years experience and a strong belief in providing support that makes a real difference in life.
I'm Jodie, Founder of Thriving in Unity and a Clinical Nurse Specialist with 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families across healthcare, aged care and disability services.
Throughout my career, I've worked across oncology, renal and endocrinology services, and held leadership roles in aged care, including Director of Nursing. These experiences have shown me that quality support is about more than meeting needs—it's about helping people feel valued, supported and connected.
My passion for disability support is also deeply personal. As a mum of a child with autism, and through supporting family members with intellectual disabilities and autism, I've seen first-hand how the right support can build confidence, independence and belonging.
It is this combination of clinical expertise, lived experience and the power of connection that inspired me to create Thriving in Unity.
Thriving in Unity was created from a simple belief: every person deserves to feel valued, supported and connected within their community, and to have opportunities to grow, contribute and live with purpose and possibility.
No one left out. No one left behind.
I’ve worked in aged care for over 30 years, with a strong focus on creating experiences that help people feel more like themselves.
I’ve worked in aged care for over 30 years, with a strong focus on creating experiences that help people feel more like themselves.
During that time, I supported many young people with disability who were living in aged care environments — often in settings that weren’t designed for them.
For 15 of those years, I worked in lifestyle and recreation, designing events and everyday experiences that created joy and connection.
Jodie and I have worked closely together in aged care, always focused on what’s best for the individual.
Now, as co-directors — and as family — we’ve built Thriving In Unity around the same values we’ve carried throughout our careers.
Our team brings together the kind of experience you can’t always teach. We’ve worked in clinical and community settings, but we’ve also walked alongside family members with disability in our own lives.
That combination means we don’t rely on assumptions — we listen, we ask, and we notice the details that matter. It also means we understand how important trust, consistency and communication are — not just for the person receiving support, but for the people around them too.
Support works best when everyone’s on the same page — we connect with your family, community, and the people who know you best.
You’re welcomed into a space where you feel accepted, included, and part of something bigger.
We lead with empathy and care, making sure every person feels respected, understood, and supported.
You’re backed to build confidence, grow your independence, and take charge of your own path.
Your strengths, identity, and choices are respected — with fair access to opportunities that reflect who you are.
At Thriving in Unity, our logo reflects the heart of who we are and what we stand for.
The lotus flower, central to our design, is a powerful symbol of resilience, growth, and transformation. Just as the lotus rises from murky waters to bloom in beauty and strength, we believe that every individual, regardless of challenges, has the ability to overcome barriers, thrive, and find their place in the community.
The figures within the petals represent inclusivity and connection, illustrating the strength we create when people come together to support one another. Below the flower, the flowing lines symbolise movement and progress—gentle yet purposeful steps forward in life’s journey.
Together, these elements express our mission: to create a safe, supportive space where no one is left behind, helping individuals feel valued, empowered, and capable of achieving their fullest potential.
We’re proud of what this logo represents: transformation, belonging, and a commitment to helping others thrive in unity.
We know how powerful it can be to feel like you truly belong — to be around people who see your strengths, respect your choices, and include you without question. That’s at the heart of what we do.
From in-home support to being out and about in the community, we’re here to back you in living a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own. It’s not just about accessing services — it’s about feeling seen, supported, and part of something bigger.
When support is built on genuine connection, you’re not just getting through the day — you’re building a life that reflects who you are.
Disability support isn’t just about ticking off daily tasks. It’s about helping people feel seen, valued and capable — even on the harder days. That’s why we shape every part of our support around who you are, not just what’s written in your plan.
Whether it’s building confidence with new skills, keeping routines steady, or supporting community connection, we’re here to help you feel more in control and more like yourself.
If you’re thinking about support but not sure where to begin, you’re not alone. Get in touch and we’ll talk it through together — at your pace, in a way that makes sense for you.
Thoughtful, personalised NDIS support that’s built on real connection, respect, and the things that matter to you.
