STEPS Community Support team profile: Supported Independent Living (SIL) team

We’re proud to shine a spotlight on two incredible members of our STEPS Supported Independent Living (SIL) team: Tanya and Sandra, whose passion, expertise and commitment make a meaningful difference every day in the lives of our participants.

Tanya brings more than 15 years of extensive experience in the disability sector to her role, with a career that has spanned support work and team management.

She supports participants with complex needs and is deeply committed to helping STEPS participants build their independence, self-confidence and capacity to reach their goals. Her knowledge and leadership are a tremendous asset to our team.

“What I enjoy most is seeing participants grow in confidence and independence over time,” Tanya said. “Being part of that journey and supporting them to achieve their goals is really special.”

Sandra has been a valued part of the STEPS Community Support team for more than eight years and is a passionate advocate for our participants.

Her wealth of disability sector knowledge aids her in working closely with allied health professionals and stakeholders to ensure participants remain at the centre of every decision. Sandra’s unwavering dedication and compassion make her an invaluable member of our SIL team.

“For me, it’s about making sure every participant feels heard and holistically supported,” Sandra said. “Working closely with families, allied health professionals and other stakeholders helps us achieve the best outcomes together.”

Tanya and Sandra embody STEPS values every day through their expertise and genuine commitment to achieving the best results for our participants. We are incredibly grateful for the utmost professionalism and care they bring to their roles.
