Fili

Area Manager - Central South & Central North-VIC

“It’s not always easy, but I’ve always loved that you always make a difference in someone’s life. It might be the smallest thing, but that tiny thing made a difference to someone. And when I walk out of here every single day, I feel so happy that I’ve made a difference to someone, made life a bit easier for them. And that's probably why I’ve stayed in the disability sector for 30 years.”
