Sentient Support - NDIS Support Coordination

11/11/2025

Dear

I have been reminded that I have been a bit quiet lately, mostly due to moving house, and ensuring a myriad of pets and humans are happily integrated into our new dwelling.

I remain loyal, Mornington Peninsula-based and a Community Service Professional with a deep commitment to advocacy, outreach, and trauma-informed care.

Known for my approachable, open-minded, and non-judgmental nature, I work alongside vulnerable individuals and marginalised groups to advance their interests and uphold their dignity.

With extensive experience in intensive outreach, I bring a compassionate lens to complex client work, including children in the foster care system, grandparents as parents, individuals navigating addiction, grief, and loss, and families involved in litigation.

I’m grateful to practice in my local community, where I offer opportunities to:

➡️ Listen without judgment
➡️ Hold space for reflection and healing
➡️ Share ideas and strategies for growth

I understand—personally and professionally—that some days are dark, some are lighter, and some are brilliant. I, too, live with anxiety and depression, and as such, I absolutely understand that all of it is valid.

My core strengths include:

- Outreach and engagement with complex clients
- Trauma-informed and culturally aware practice
- Capacity building and 1:1 individual coaching
- Knowledge of local services and systems
- Supervising and reporting on court-ordered contact
- Advocacy for child welfare and safety

My personal interests are:
- True crime documentaries and all music genres
- Wildlife observation, photogra[hy, conservation, and rescue
- Quiet reflection, good food, and my miniature schnauzers

I believe in meeting people where they are, holding space with empathy, and walking alongside them toward safety, stability, and self-determination.

Dear community,

I’m currently moving house and while I’m receiving and responding to SMS and Emails, I’ll prioritise returning phone calls on Wednesday!

Thank you for your patience, and ongoing support. Moving 2 kids, 2 adults, and 7 pets has been a huge task! We continue tomorrow ✌️🐈‍⬛☘️🐶

Full card tomorrow. I’m so excited to be meeting four new families, listening to their stories, and spending my weekend brainstorming and planning for their care.

Please meet the Avian version of me. Here I am, processing answers from the NDIA, LAC or plan manager when I’m trying to get the basics for vulnerable clients and their families.

Do not be mistaken. I will keep pushing, submitting reports, letters and inviting you to meet the families.

You can sit in your offices, typing your “decisions”, after never reading any of the FCA’s, and support letters, no outreach, totally blind to the needs of vulnerable families - and that makes you look like a fool.

A long life, and a life well lived.

Dear Community,

2025 has been a year of deeply rewarding connections—with providers, independents, and families alike.

Thanks to your continued trust and generous word-of-mouth referrals, I’m currently at full capacity and will not be accepting new referrals until 2026.

I’m truly grateful for the ongoing support.

With appreciation,
Belinda 🩵

Dear Community,

It’s a short/weird week, with football being the focus for some of us.

I’m working and available for calls, visits, and whatever, as the footy doesn’t change my work schedule.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, or any trusted folk, if you’re feeling low or just wanna chat. Help is here.

Dylan Kerr Clinical Psychologist, provides therapeutic services out of his Berwick clinic, and comes highly recommended (plus I’ve known Dylan since he was in primary school!)

I want to support people to build stronger and healthier connections - whether those connections are between family, friends, loved ones, or within yourself.
