OUR OFFICE STAFF
Yukon
Helper (Food Connoisseur)
Hi, my name is Yukon! I was originally going to be a seeing eye dog, but I failed. That’s ok though, because I like AmAble much more! I love my fur sisters, Twinkle and Queenie, my mum and my human sister Millie. I love my star, it’s my favourite toy, coming to AmAble teen girls group Friday nights, and food of course! I hope to become a registered service dog for Millie. If you see me around, come give me a pat. I can’t wait to meet you soon!

Amelia
Centre Assistant
Hi, I’m Amelia, but my friends call me Millie. I’m 17 and this is my first job! I am planning to go back to school next year and go to uni in a few years to study nursing. I currently come to AmAble to attend the teen girls program, and I absolutely love it! When I’m not at girls group, I’m hanging out with my pets, playing the Sims and other video games, reading and listening to music. I’m also a huge Harry Potter fan, so if you ask me about it, be prepared to spend an hour listening to me talk about it!

Hi, my name is Jess. I am very passionate about changing the idea and stigma that surrounds people everyday . I am always enthusiastic to meet new people and build new exciting relationships with them. I have my bachelor in psychology which allows me to bring a different perspective and interpretation to each scenario. I enjoy spending lots of time with my gorgeous border collie Archie at the beach, enjoying the sunshine and the endless sand that always ends up in my car. Now becoming part of the team as a client services officer at Amable, I will be able to bring my previous 8 years experience with the customer service industry and my psychological knowledge to support each and every person to choose who they want to be and what they want to achieve.

Jess Hassett
Junior Administration
Hi, my name is Jess and I'm a Junior Admin Assistant at AmAble. I have always had an interest in this field, and the fact that it is combined with the disability sector is an added bonus, as I am also interested in the levels of care and the options available to those who require access to the NDIS. I love learning as much as I can from, and being supported by, the great team I have around me. My goal is to help families and the greater public streamline their queries and questions about our services to ensure the needs of our participants are met to the best of our abilities. I enjoy spending time with my partner, my family and seeing new places. I look forward to taking your call 📞

Colleen Dol
Team Leader & Client Support
I am originally from Ontario, Canada where I obtained degrees in social work and interdisciplinary studies. Since moving to Australia, I have worked as a disability support worker with adults and seniors with brain injuries, as well as children with autism.
Now, as the new Team Leader of Client Supports at AmAble, I am here to support staff to ensure they have the tools and skills they need to best support our clients. I am motivated to work in this capacity as I feel all people should be treated with respect and dignity, and encouraged to utilize their individual strengths.
In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, card games, gardening, cooking, and baking.

Huw Provis
Facilities & Assets
My pre Covid role saw me as a Program and Project Manager in large scale corporate IT. No that doesn’t necessarily mean I know everything about computers and applications, but I consult and advise on how to integrate business requirements into deliverable IT solutions, and how to assemble the teams to design deploy and maintain these programs.
Post Covid I am enjoying doing all sorts of things around AmAble, spending time in and out of Bunnings and getting on the tools while we renovate and modify the centres or helping out wherever needed.
Outside work, I enjoy spending my time sailing and messing around in boats. With my recent move down to the Bellarine Peninsula I am re kindling my love of the water and have taken up surfing, albeit badly.
I really love being around the vibrant and diverse team that Bec is building here at AmAble and can’t wait to see her dreams come into fruition.
If I haven’t met you yet, I hope to say hi soon!
Cheers Huw
