About Us
Meet Casira, Owner/Director of Ochre Care
As an Allied Health Practitioner of social work services, I have a person centred approach with strong interests in improving the lives of people that live with a disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Also, having lived and worked in remote areas of Australia, I understand the challenges associated with limited services in these areas.
I have extensive experience working in various roles within the NDIS sector:
- Disability Support Worker providing quality on the ground support to participants, including daily living, community access and personal care
- Support Coordinator with a Not for Profit Organisation helping participants to understand their plan and connecting them to NDIS providers, community, mainstream and other government supports to build capacity and gain independence
- Case Manager with Disability Services, Queensland Government helping individuals and families with accessing the NDIS, including individuals incarcerated and living in very remote Aboriginal communities.
These roles have provided me with a holistic view of how to best support people that live with a disability, delivering quality care with benefits to the individual, their family and the community.
