Support Coordination &

Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

Hi! I'm Kerry. I am Smiley's Support Coordination Manager. I'm very proud of this Team. It's a close-knit welcoming group that share our passion to give our best to the people that we have been honoured to work with. We all bring something different to the table and use all the skills and knowledge at our disposal to get the best result for our awesome Participants.

I joined the Smiley's Team because I value the Smiley's ethos and vision, energy and leadership, but mostly the compassion for their clients. I decided I wanted IN on this vision and although it's absolutely bonkers some days, I wouldn't change a thing!

My previous roles have been a Support Servicess Manager, a Plan Manager with NDIS and a/an LAC (Local Area Coordinator), but I'm also a mum of 8 kids, several of whom live with Autism, ADHD, Intellectual and Psychosocial Disability, so whilst I work this role, I also live it.

I'm super excited about our growth this past year and to see what this year brings us! I love our Team.

What I love about Smiley's? So many things... possibly my favourite? "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain"...we now have brought in an Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist coming into Gin GIn and the Smiley's office to help our clients, and late this year in 2024, we have Speech Therapy coming and have just kicked off our SLES (School Leavers Employment Scheme)! and more coming up - all so Smiley's clients can access much needed supports locally, instead of having the hefty price of travelling to the nearest 'big' town.

The Dream Team!

Kylie is our amazing boss, and pretty multi-talented as well! She recently attended the Kismet Disability Awards in Melbourne, where her Clients and Team nominated her for her constant, consistent and always over the call of duty effort!

Kylie was placed in the TOP 4 Support Coordinators in Australia!!!

Kylie is a Psychosocial Recovery Coach, Support Coordinator, but is also a qualified Counsellor.

Kylie is focusing this year on her Counselling and Psychosocial Recovery Coaching. We are looking forward to what crazy antics she gets up to next! She certainly keeps us all guessing!

I’m Nikki!

I have recently joined the Smiley’s Support Coordination team as a Support Coordinator, after realising the amazing work within the company in which they strive to achieve the best results in looking after our clients, which aligned with everything I’m looking for to be able to have a fulfilling, wonderful work life.

When I’m not working at Smiley’s, I am out on the cattle station we live on and manage in Bauhinia, Central QLD with the horses, cattle and our four children I have with my husband. We love heading off as a family to the odd Campdraft when time permits on weekends or just having down time as a family. I love to garden and am currently trying to establish a bit of a sanctuary on the 10,000 acres I am based on!

I’m Brooke!

Hey there! I’m a mum of four who enjoys the little adventures life brings.

I have a strong background working in Disability coming from NDIS as an LAC (Local Area Coordinator) and have worked in residential Youth Support. I have a passion for health and fitness and hold a certificate in fitness, my days are filled with a mix of activities—whether it’s tending to my garden, hiking some trails, or spending lazy weekends at the beach with my family. Life can get busy, but I love soaking up the sun and making memories with my family. I am currently studying my Allied Health Cert IV to expand my knowledge to better support individuals to live their best life.

We welcome Brooke, the newest Support Coordinator of the Smiley's Team!
