Melanie Mays
NDIS Intake Coordinator

Melanie commenced her career at Distinctive Options a little over 12 years ago.  She originally was employed as student placement, but this soon evolved into a support worker role with Distinctive Options back in 2009.  Melanie would support individuals in Sunbury, including driving and organising group holidays to locations such as Sydney and Moama.  Over time, and with the support from some brilliant mentor’s, Melanie followed a path into communication, becoming Sunbury’s Communication Coordinator in 2012.  This enabled her to provide input to management around an ultimate goal of building capacity within the service.  It would create sustainable, inclusive communication environments that enable the maximum participation of people with communication difficulties in their programs, as well as in their community involvement and in their general life aspirations.  At the beginning of 2022 Melanie took over the NDIS Intake Coordinators role, and she is continuing to grow within this role.
