STAFF SPOTLIGHT SERIES: MONIQUE 💙🦸♀️🧡
Role: Support Worker / PT
Base: Adamstown (soon to be Maitland)
Time Spent with AS: Joined January 2026
We sat down with Monique to chat about her role and what makes Active Social special to her.
Why did you choose to work in disability support? Monique: I work in disability support because I genuinely love helping people grow, build confidence, and feel comfortable being their true selves. Watching someone come out of their shell and realize what they’re capable of is the best part of the job for me. Knowing that the support we provide genuinely makes a difference is what I enjoy most! ✨
What is your favourite part of working at Active Social? Monique: My favorite part is all the different activities we get to do with our participants each and every day, as well as the genuine relationships we build. I love that the focus is on getting to know each person and helping them feel more confident in the community. 🤝
What are you known for? Monique: I’m known for motivating others, building confidence, and creating a supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves while working towards their goals. I love helping people realize they can do more than they think! 💪
Favourite activity to run or attend? Monique: It’s pretty hard to go past stand-up paddleboarding or beach hangs! 🏖️
What’s life like outside of AS? Monique: When I’m not working, I’m staying active at the gym, going for beach walks, or planning my next adventure. I love spending time with my family, friends, and my 3-legged doggy! 🐾 Also, fun fact: I’ve never actually tried coffee—I am more of a hot choccy girl or a White Monster.
Monique, your passion for growth and your ability to empower our participants to be their authentic selves make you a fantastic addition to the Active Social family. We are so excited to have you on the team! 🧡
