Blue Mountains Food Services (BMFS) is a not-for-profit organisation which provides a range of programs and services to residents of the Blue Mountains. These include aged care services, disability services, volunteering opportunities, a social enterprise café and more.

During my time as CEO of SCIA from 2008 to 2018, I devised and implemented a range of innovative services, including NeuroMoves, CHOICES, Independence Expo, EmployAbility, Customer Connect, Support Coordination and Plan Management. Each of these services challenge conventional thinking about life after SCI, and were designed to be rolled out nationally, allowing SCIA to become a truly national organisation.I also ensured that funding was maintained for Peer Support, Advocacy, Emergency Services, and our Disability Enterprise, which were threatened by the introduction of the NDIS, and achieved over $1,000,000 in fundraising annually. Valuable relationships were established with organisations such as Clayton Utz, NRL, iCare, Spinal Cure, Australian Spinal Injury Alliance, and Slater and Gordon.All of these successes were built on an organisational culture that put members first, as summed up in SCIA’s motto “I can help you with that”. This unrelenting focus on members’ needs, and SCIA’s strong reputation, saw membership grow from 200 to 2000+ in my ten years as CEO.
