Meet Brittany

Director

Brittany is the Director of Acclaimed Community Support Services.

Brittany comes with a wealth of knowledge of the NDIS and works tirelessly to ensure high quality services and positive client experiences.

About Me:

I enjoy watching sports, especially AFL (GO PIES) and F1. I’m a dog person and will easily be distracted by your pets. My happy place is holidaying along the Murray River. I am a Mum to 1 (soon to be 2)!

Professional experience and approach:

I have completed my Bachelor in Psychology and Masters in Counselling. I have played several roles in service delivery to NDIS participants, however, my approach does not waiver.

I am aware and respectful of everyone’s recovery journey and work consciously to meet participants where they are.

I work within a recovery orientated model and strengths based approach.

Everyone deserves to live a fulfilled life. I may play a large or small part in clients recovery, whatever it may be, I am to make it a positive experience.
