Lifelong Peninsula resident Sandi Grace is passionate about contributing to her community – and what a contribution she has made.
Sandi founded Grace Professional Services in 2019, becoming a registered NDIS provider in February 2020 and hiring her first employee one week before the first COVID lockdown. “I primarily hire people living with disability or who have lived experience in providing care,” she said.
During lockdown, Sandi worked 20-hour days to support our most vulnerable, but that didn’t stop her applying to become a foster carer with Anglicare Victoria. “I get so much joy from fostering, and I want people to know that a busy lifestyle is no reason not to offer a home to children in need if you have a spare room and space in your heart.”
Sandi founded domestic violence support group Sisterhood FMP and was president of the Frankston Toy Library, helping it become one of the country’s largest during her 13-year association. She even found time to run for Frankston City Council last year.
This year, Grace Professional Services received its sixth Best Practice Award for Governance and Organisational Management with a perfect score during its NDIS audit. It was a fitting accolade for this genuine powerhouse and her amazing team.
