Gemma Freeman

A bit about me:
With a background in Social Work, I have spent the last 10 years working in Foster and Kinship Carer Advocacy, School-based Social and Emotional Wellbeing Supports, and more recently managing and developing Youth Employment and Daily Living learning programs in the disability sector.

What inspires me to do what I do:
I’m passionate about supporting people in a way that centres people's goals, voice, and lived experience doing meaningful, person-centred work that empowers individuals and communities to reach their full potential.

The most rewarding part of my role is...
Watching individual's grow and achieve their goals. I am very fortunate to have worked alongside many individuals and their families in varying roles and feel privileged to have been a part of their journey's.

A fun fact about me:
Alongside my work in disability, I am also an active member of Adelaide's dance and musical theatre community- teaching dance, and acrobatics to people of all ages for the last 15 years.
