about us

Monika (left) and Suzette (right) are the women behind Rise. 

Suzette has worked in the NDIS space since 2015 and has gained valuable experience in her career from starting as a Carer, then a Case Worker to young adults. She has understood the importance of meeting every individual’s needs by providing a safe and nurturing environment, where every participant can thrive. Suzette has worked closely with participants and their families to help ensure the individuals felt heard and valued, whilst assisting with their NDIS plans. 

When Suzette is not on mummy duties, she loves to bake which is one of the activities on our Living-Skills Day Program at Rise.

Monika is a Business Manager with a demonstrated history working across a range of industries including tech and disability for over 8 years. Monika has been working as a Disability Support Worker supporting women in her local community at home with care, meal prep and transport services.  Her commitment to fostering inclusive environments and enhancing the lives of women with disabilities drives our centre's mission forward with passion and expertise. 

Monika enjoys gardening and all things arts and crafts, which are also some of the activities offered at Rise. 

Together Monika and Suzette wanted to create a centre that provides exceptional service and care to make women feel a sense of belonging and empowerment. No matter how hard it gets, together we will Rise.
