My incredible friend, Tan from Neurodivergent Empowered wrote this beautiful message and it's a true example of how women who champion other women can really change the world. WE rise by Lifting others!!!

Happy Birthday Amy from Banksia Support Services !

You are truly one of the most beautiful, kind-hearted humans I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. The way you move through the world with gentleness, purpose, and unwavering care is something I deeply admire.

I feel incredibly lucky to call you a friend.

As a fellow NeuroSparkly woman, you show the world what’s possible when integrity, compassion, and courage come together. Your presence reminds me that leadership doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. It can be grounded, generous, and quietly world-shifting.

Thank you for your tireless effort, your radiant spirit, and your heart that holds space for so many.

May this next year reflect everything you give: warmth, wisdom, wonder, and the joy of being celebrated exactly as you are.

With so much love,
Tan xx

Happy Birthday to me!!

It might feel weird to wish yourself a happy birthday, but what better time to reflect and give yourself a pat on the back for all the effort, hard work and luck that got you one more round around the sun! Here's what I did with it.

This year I'm proud of-

💗 Supporting more than 30 families in the local area with their Behaviour support needs. These families are the reason I bound out of bed and get to work everyday, even when my body feels rubbish. Its an honour to work with them.
💗 Working with more than 80 practitioners in their clinical supervision and NDIS business journeys. THESE people are changing the world, and I get to help them.
💗 Converting the Banksia pathway online so that hundreds of practitioners now have the opportunities to complete this fundemental training at their own pace.
💗 Partnering and collaborating with businesses who are investing in their staff to train and complete the Banksia Behaviour Support pathway. When we know more, we all do better.
💗 Bringing on Julia as an amazing employee who has helped me learn how to be an even better manager and leader.
💗 Making it through my three year re-certification NDIS audit and being recognised as Best Practice for Behaviour Support and Early Childhood Interventiom (across ALL practice standards).
💗 I won an international award in London and a national award for Advocacy AusMumpreneur. Last year, I also won a regional award for being an outstanding Microbusiness in my regional community Business Illawarra (on this day actually- was a great birthday pressie).
💗 I'm also a proud finalist in three categories in next Friday's Business Illawarra awards.
I love being an Illawarra Women in Business
💗 I gave an international Keynote in London at the The Women Changing the World Summit on the impact of seclusion and restraint on children in schools.
💗 I have published an article in an international journal (Palgrave Encyclopedia) (and gave just had my second accepted for publication in the Journal of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law)... both making a strong argument to prohibit physical restraint and seclusion in schools.
💗 I published a chapter in an anthology with a group of incredible women sharing my lessons in authenticity (this book went to all the logie nominees this year in their gift bags)

I also had a couple of surgeries, lived with Chrohns Disease, sold our house and moved into a new one in a new area (no easy thing, but especially challenging as an Autistic women with a couple of Autistic kids!).

AND my sanity is still in tact!

So, thankyou 40. You were great to me.
Wonder what 41 has in store for me.
Love
Amy 🤩

Last week, I had the privilege of delivering training to a group of passionate, curious and committed practitioners on the topic of crisis de-escalation.

Thank you to everyone who attended and brought your full selves to the room - your questions, your reflections, and your willingness to lean into the grey areas of practice made it a powerful experience.

Sharing knowledge isn’t just about passing on what I know. It’s about creating space for others to grow, feel seen, and feel confident in what they bring to the table too. This work can be hard, messy, and confronting, but standing alongside other practitioners who are committed to doing better (not just ticking boxes) reminds me why we keep going.

We rise by lifting each other!

You might’ve seen the Region Illawarra feature last week showing myself alongside two absolute powerhouses, Dr Danielle Camer and Kylee Dennis, as part of the 2025 AusMumpreneur Awards.

I was honoured (and always so grateful) to be awarded Gold for Leadership and Silver for Disability Services, but what makes me most proud is standing alongside women who are using their platforms to create real, meaningful change. Danielle and Kylee, I think you’re amazing.

This month, I’m also a finalist in the 2025 Business Illawarra Awards in three categories:
🟣 Outstanding Business Leader
🟠 Excellence in Innovation
🟢 Excellence in Micro Business

It’s an exciting and humbling recognition. But as I always say, these awards aren’t about the spotlight. They’re about what we do with it.

I enter awards so I can get on stage and talk about the people we support. To bring visibility to the issues that matter: human rights, ethical care, and a better NDIS.

Here's a photo of all three os us with Sarah Ferguson at this years Women Changing the World Awards. Another pinch me moment!

Hey everyone!!

It's my birthday month and I want to give everyone who wants to invest in themselves through the Behaviour Practitioner pathway a gift! If you are a Behaviour Practitioner, a Support Worker, or if you are keen to learn more about the NDIS behaviour support role, this is for you!

I’ve poured my heart, time, and thousands of hours research into creating the course that I wish I had when I was starting out.

The Banksia Behaviour Practitioner Pathway has been reviewed by Dr Jeffrey Chan, who called it a “one-stop shop” for practitioners. And so far? 100% of participants have recommended it to others.

This course wasn’t built overnight. It was built from real-world experience, every late-night study session, every moment of supervision, and every family I’ve worked with who deserved better.

And now, it’s here for you.
- Payment plans available
- Lifetime access
- 25+ hours of content
- 400+ templates, resources and handbooms across the ENTIRE capability framework.
- Optional Weekly webinar with me (a group supervision with others doing the pathwat; all learning together in a community)
- Reviewed. Recommended. Practitioner-approved

This month, you also get $500 off (using the code BIRTHDAY500

Having a blast listening and learning from incredible presenters like
This was a bug highlight, hearing her wisdom in how she operates in such an authentic, strengths based way. I'm so honoured she took this pic with me, as I have been (an even moreso now) a huge fan of her work!!

Feeling very proud!! I live in a beautiful, supportive community and I love how the world can change when women who are fearless, passionate and committed come together, back each other and celebrate one another!
