Libby Ellis
Resume
As the Director of InCharge, Libby focuses on what it takes for people with disability to take front and centre stage of their own lives. In this work she noticed there was a gap between people’s desires for better and knowing how to get it. So InCharge acts like a social broker – connecting people with others, with networks, opportunities, information and most importantly, their own capacity - in order to become genuine contributing citizens.
This is the great opportunity for people with the National Disability Insurance Scheme and so she also works with leaders in the sector who want to excel at this work.
Libby brings 20 years experience supporting her brother with significant intellectual disability and autism to share his home with people without disability, define his own needs and direct his support to meet these needs. Her family’s partnership with a national service provider was the catalyst to the development of their innovative and individualised services.
