Kyra is the Compliance Manager and Co-Director of Swan Home Care Services, bringing over five years of experience in the disability support sector. Her passion for the industry began during a work placement, where she discovered the profound impact of building meaningful connections with participants. Since then, she has earned a Certificate III & IV in Community Services and a Double Diploma in Community Services and Counselling, gaining hands-on experience across various frontline roles. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Social Work, further expanding her knowledge and skills to better support individuals and advocate for systemic change.

Starting as a support worker in Midland, Kyra quickly developed strong relationships with participants, families, and staff. She later worked in Mosman Park, thriving in a high-demand environment where she strengthened her expertise in high-intensity supports and non-verbal communication, including Auslan and AAC devices. She became a key worker for multiple participants and frequently stepped into the lead disability support worker role, advocating for both participants and staff.

Kyra is deeply committed to ensuring participants feel heard, valued, and supported. She is especially passionate about breaking down communication barriers and creating a safe, inclusive, and person-centered environment where participants and their families feel empowered every step of the way.

Kyra moved to Perth from South Africa six years ago. She enjoys organising celebrations, spending time at the beach, and engaging in creative activities like arts and crafts with friends. She also loves camping and outdoor adventures, often accompanied by her dog.

For Kyra, disability support is more than just a career, it’s about making a lasting impact, one meaningful connection at a time.
