I have 8 years’ experience in Senior Support with a demonstrated history of working in the individual and family services industry, I am skilled in Social Service, Organisational Development, Public Speaking and Fundraising with 15 years’ experience in Out of Home Care, Emergency Accommodation and NDIS.

I have been with Hessel Group since 2020 commencing as a Positive Behaviour Support Therapist and transitioned into the role of Intake Officer shortly after.

I am responsible for helping our clients to understand their NDIS plans, Child Care Subsidy and the opportunities available to help them live their best lives and reach their goals.

I work across our Care & Support business as well as Allied Health and Behaviour Support & Disability Support ensuring our clients and families have the right support for now and into the future.

I also ensure our support workers, clinicians and therapists are operating in a safe environment and are well prepared and informed of their client's history, goals and needs.

Working with the friendly and driven team at Hessel Group is very satisfying and rewarding.

I have been with the Hessel Group since 2006. I started as a field carer and have worked in many different situations with many different families. It has given me a better understanding/perspective of what our carers face each day. I have enjoyed the transition from the field to the office.

I am now one half of the Care & Support team working along side Doinita. We work with families and organisations around Adelaide to find care solutions that best suits their requirements. I also coordinate the many Mobile Creche services for Hessel Group where we take our child care program to your event and entertain the children while the parents can engage happily at the function.

Alana (Lani) has 20 years Government Administration experience which includes TAFESA and SA Police

In July 2020, just 3 months after my sister Kimmy passed away due to taking her own life I decided to change my career path and study Certificate IV Youth Work in her honour and to make a difference in people's lives.

In November 2021 I successfully completed my Youth Work studies and in December 2021 I commenced my first Case Management position with Baptist Care SA supporting Aboriginal Women and Children in Crisis accommodation.

Mental health is just one of the very important topics which needs to be discussed and supported and I am looking forward to undertaking further studies in the near future where I can continue to gain lifelong experience as well as assisting others.

I look forward to joining the Hessel Team where I can continue to support others, learn new skills and continue to work hard to achieve my goals.

In my spare time I love playing football and spending time with my family and friends and making each day count.
