Her work with young people with disabilities at the Collaroy Hospital was the catalyst for her active involvement in all aspects of disabilities and she has been present throughout the various changes happening within the disability sector. Starting by helping set up residential homes for people who transition out of permanent hospital care into smaller, person-centered care units, Nicole felt privileged and proud to watch and assist clients to integrate within the community and watch some move on to less supported accommodation needing only drop-in care. Nicole progressed from support worker to co-founder of Trilogy Disability Services – an organisation that offers respite, supported independent living and disability advocacy for the Northern Sydney and Central Coast communities.
