Our Management.
Paul has a long history in human services, and in creating, developing and managing a range of services and systems around physical and sensory disability, correctional services, and student services and supports, with the 7 years before Skylight managing mental health services across metro and country SA.
Paul is a Social Worker by trade and has strong focus on human rights and social justice; individual and organisational capacity building; consumer engagement and service co-design; and building a strong and resilient mental health community. He has worked as a one on one worker; group worker; trainer; counsellor; advocate and lobbyist; manager and CEO and has a good grasp on the politics and pressures in the non government services area.
Paul’s focus over the next few years will be assisting Skylight to transition to the NDIS where it needs to, and finding other opportunities where possible, for it to maintain and build its person centered and led service model.
