Mr Don

Disability Support Worker

LinkAssist has employed me for over 2 years as a disability support worker. I thoroughly enjoy being active and hands-on with the clients I support. There is variety in assisting people with their Supported Independent Living Journey and assisting with the shopping or just for a casual walk out in the community. I enjoy contributing holistically in a residential environment and am easy to communicate with.

About me

I was born in Australia. I love playing with my two fur babies (dogs) super therapeutic.
I enjoy reading Biographies. These can sometimes serve as warnings, letting us know what to avoid. In addition, the books we read open our eyes to the world, allowing us to see the world from someone else's point of view.
Three qualities perfectly describe an expresso coffee drinker: hardworking, confident, and organised.
Finally, I am a proud Father of 4 children and Grand Father of 6 grand Children.
