Lisa Duffy
After starting out as a Physiotherapist, Lisa found her passion in complex case management and working with people with a disability to navigate their options in the 10 years prior to the NDIS roll-out. Since the rollout in NSW, Lisa's specific interest areas are in supporting people to gain NDIS access for the first time and planning for NDIS reviews, with a particular focus on working with people to build their skills, capacity and knowledge about the NDIS so that they can be informed, empowered, and objective self-advocates. Lisa is so passionate about working with families in the NDIS space that she has total self-awareness about the fact that she says 'passionate' too much! When she is not running on trails or teaching her daughters the ways of the world, she can be heard talking to people about how much she loves her job.
