Indigo Rose Community Services

A dedicated and compassionate care professional with over a decade of experience across the aged care and disability support sectors. Originally from New Zealand, I relocated to Australia in 2024 alongside my husband, to bring my passion for supporting others to a new community.

My career is built on a strong foundation of 10 years in aged care, where I developed deep expertise in person-centered support, advocacy, and delivering high-quality care to vulnerable individuals. In July 2025, I joined Indigo Rose as a Disability Support Worker, quickly establishing strong relationships with clients and demonstrating a commitment to empowering their independence.

Recognising my leadership potential and organisational strengths, I transitioned into the role of Service Coordinator for Indigo Rose in April 2026.

In my current role, I combine my extensive hands-on care experience with strong coordination skills to ensure seamless service delivery, efficient scheduling, and the highest standards of support for our participants and team.

Hi, my name is Elwood, and I work remotely from Melbourne as a Service Coordinator with Indigo Rose. My passion for the disability sector is rooted in both my personal and professional experience. Growing up alongside my younger sister, who has a disability, gave me valuable insight into the importance of genuine, person-centred support and the positive impact it can have on individuals and their families.

Over the past two and a half years, I have built on this lived experience through my work in the disability sector, developing a strong understanding of participant needs, service coordination, and the importance of fostering meaningful outcomes. I am committed to ensuring that every participant receives the support they need in a way that respects their goals, preferences, and independence.

I strongly align with Indigo Rose's vision of delivering a truly person-centred experience and take pride in advocating for participants while working collaboratively with colleagues, providers, and families to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Outside of work, I enjoy building genuine connections with both participants and colleagues through shared interests. Whether it's discussing sport, pop culture, music, or video games, I believe these conversations help foster trust, strengthen relationships, and create positive, engaging experiences for everyone involved.
