Our Allied Health Assistants (AHA)

---

  Hey there, I’m Max, a friendly Full Life AHA in NSW. I started learning Auslan when I was a barista to engage with Deaf customers – one of them is now my wife! 

It all came together when I became a therapy assistant. Now I get to help clients become more independent in their day-to-day lives. 

I used to play in a band, I’m really good at trivia, and my aim is to always be a better person than I was yesterday.

 Hello there! I’m Nina, a helpful AHA originally from South Africa and currently based in NSW. 

Fluent in Auslan and proudly Deaf! 

I love connecting with our clients, introducing them to new technology and empowering them to make their daily lives easier. After dedicating 15 years to Woolworth's architectural firm, I’ve changed my career to focus on building a better future for the Deaf Community and support in home modification areas, too.  🌍🏡 🙌

Hi, I’m Jen, an adventurous AHA in WA!

 I've enjoyed helping Full Life clients be more independent since 2021. Before that, I gained experience in Aged Care. Joining Full Life was perfect timing, and I’m so glad to be here! 

I enjoy developing my Auslan skills and supporting my team. 

Fun fact: I traveled around Europe in 2023. Oh, and I love meeting friendly dogs during client visits!

  Hi, I’m Amy, a happy, helpful AHA based in VIC. 

I’m fluent in Auslan and have a passion for empowering the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. 

My background in health, aged and community care has led me to the perfect role where I can make a difference. 

I’m serious about showing our clients their true worth, but I have my silly side too. Laughter is my best medicine!

Hey there! 

I’m Dusty, a kind AHA based in VIC. 

The best thing about my job is meeting clients from all walks of life and creating meaningful relationships. I’m learning so much from their experiences. 

I used to be a support worker and have certificates in Auslan as well as music performance (my artistic side). 

I grew up on chilly Phillip Island (home of the penguin parade) but these days I love warm beaches.

 Hello, I’m Chi, a friendly and caring AHA based in QLD. 

I get huge job satisfaction from helping our clients and seeing them achieve their goals makes me happy! I’m improving my Auslan skills to communicate better with our clients, family members and the whole Deaf community. 

Out of the office, I’m a mum and a morning person, and I’m working on my muscle strength at the gym. Let’s work things out together!

  Hi, it’s Deborah, your helpful and happy Full Life AHA in QLD. What makes me happy is helping my clients! I love being part of a team that shares my values in empowering the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and improving their quality of life and independence. 

I enjoy travelling to new places and meeting new people. Things you should know about me are that I am a crazy animal lover, and I used to be blonde!
