Meet the Team

TURSA has a deeply embedded culture of community assistance. Our team is selected not only for their experience and skills but also for their passion and determination. We are dedicated to helping people get back on track by providing everything from interview and resume development to training!

Since 1995 TURSA has been assisting participants in regaining their skills and confidence. On the other side of this equation is the assistance we also provide to local business in securing staff, obtaining wage assistance and helping to source funding for worksite modifications where available.

We would like you to meet some of our team and hear a little about why they love working at TURSA and, more importantly, the passion that drives them to assist those in the community to reach their objectives.

Meet Kate

Kate makes every effort to provide comprehensive support

I personally strive to connect our participants with job opportunities that match their interests and skills. I do a lot of cold calls to businesses to find out about potential job openings and opportunities to connect our participants with relevant employers. We provide various support mechanisms to employers, including wage subsidies and assistance with training courses, such as obtaining white cards for traffic control, to ensure that they can successfully onboard our participants into their workforce. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to both our participants and their potential employers to ensure the best possible outcomes for all.

Meet Frishta

I aim to Listen, Support and Empower

As Disability Employment Advocates, we aim to ensure every participant feels heard and supported. We take the time to listen to their stories and understand their unique challenges. By providing personalised support and resources, we help them navigate the path to meaningful employment. We aim to empower individuals to build confidence, develop their skills, and secure a brighter future. Through our work, we strive to create a more inclusive and supportive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Meet Joe

Nothing satisfies like seeing great outcomes for Participants

Joe is passionate about helping people, and he’s been doing it for years. He started with TURSA providing direct participant support and has done several roles to now working more behind-the-scenes work where his dedication has paid off! Nowadays, you can find Joe working hard to make sure everything runs like clockwork to ensure our processes are working to deliver a quality participant journey. Even though he’s not out in public anymore (at least visibly), his number one priority remains to deliver quality service above anything else daily.
