meet our team

April graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honors) in 2015 from the University of Newcastle, Australia. While studying, April was a support working for children and adults living with a disability since the rollout of the NDIS in 2013. This is where April found her passion of becoming an Occupational Therapist focusing in the disability sector. 

April grew up in Wauchope, NSW and spent her adult life moving between Newcastle (NSW), Sydney (NSW) then Gold Coast (QLD). This has allowed developing a varied experience of how the sector operates in different regions. 

April has now decided to move back to her hometown to be closer to her loved ones. She has manifested her version of a good life, and her dreams have turned into plans with the opening of On Purpose Therapy. 

April has worked in reputable large allied health organisations over the past several years, within senior leadership and management roles. April acts with a sense of curiosity and is committed to self-directed learning, which has granted her experience in many areas of Occupational Therapy practice including skill development and capacity building, functional capacity assessments, home and living assessments, assistive technology and assistance animals.

April loves keeping up to date with the latest NDIS and sector news / updates.
