Monique Power

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR (Our Resident NDIS Nerd)

Monique is a single-mother of two beautiful little girls; Emmilou and Elliemae. She is a results-driven professional, with more than 20 year’s experience in community services working with the vulnerable and in different capacities at all levels of government. Monique has a wealth of lived-experience and knowledge when it comes to understanding the complexities and intricacies of the NDIS. Her unique life experiences, combined with her education in political science at ANU, is what makes Monique an authentic and compassionate ‘do good’er’ with a kick-ass set of skills as an advocate for children with unique abilities. She has always been passionate about the most vulnerable people within the community and dedicated her life to pioneering change and opportunity for all.

Since the conception of her eldest daughter Monique turned her focus solely to those with unique abilities. Emmilou was born with VACTERLS Association; a rare disorder that affects many body systems, and was later diagnosed with a childhood disease to boot! Watching her child flourish despite all odds, and defy medical expectations is the greatest gift Monique could ask for.

She knows first-hand the influence a great support network, fantastic opportunities and sheer determination can have on individuals like her daughter.
