Executive Director, Department of Children, Youth Justice and Multicultural Affairs

Liz and the Empowering Minds and Development team helps ensure client value and outcomes. With a hands-on and results-driven approach, Liz organizes teams to seamlessly manage extremely complex clients. Mission-driven by nature, she is passionate about this work because she sees the meaningful impact it has on the client outcomes. I would recommend Empowering Minds and Development for working with complex clients within the criminal justice and child protection sectors.

The Empowering Minds and Development team have extensive operational experience and considerable expertise in disability services, specifically the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and working with exceptionally complex young people.

Sal was extraordinary in her commitment to her role as Support Coordinator for my client. You can tell a lot about a person’s character based on how they interact and work with complex clients and Sal was everything you could ask for. She is motivated, self-directed, a pleasure to be around, has a strong work ethic, and is exceptionally organized and detail oriented. I would highly recommend her.
