CEO and Founder of EVA Support Pty Ltd Gabriel Griffin’s passion in life has always been human rights. This has translated into a very varied and successful career.
Gabriel takes pride in her beginnings and in having had the opportunities to view the industry from various roles.
Starting her career as a support worker in day programs and group homes for large organisations, Gabriel’s commitment to helping people was quickly recognised and this enabled her to progress into roles in Senior Management, working for organisations such as Life Without Barriers, Challenge Disability Services, Kirinari, and Leapfrog Ability.
During this period Gabriel was trained and mentored by the best in the business and due to this has extensive knowledge and understanding of the challenges people face on a daily basis.
It was during this period Gabriel obtained her Diploma in Disabilities as well as Front line Management training.
Some of Gabriel’s positions have been Managing group homes, Team Supervisor, Case Management, Coordination of Supports, Business Manager, and Director.
Gabriel’s career journey has shaped EVA and its mission and values, empowering Gabriel to start the company, and the need for people to have greater power over their lives and support.
Gabriel has a particular interest in Mental Health both on a personal and professional level.
Educating the community, being an advocate and mentoring, and providing quality workers to achieve outstanding outcomes for people is a role that Gabriel feels privileged to hold.
