Shin is one of our team of Customised Employment Mentors and is passionate about helping you to find your niche whilst living a life created by you and not one that is decided for you.

Curious about the various opportunities around us, Shin enjoys volunteering.
Spending about 6 hours a month as a consumer representative on committees within our hospitals, writing and assessing grant applications on behalf of the Community Broadcasting Foundation, and generally looking for that left-off-field solution.

Shin has been a part of the mental health psychosocial community and has a lived experience as both a carer and as someone with personal disability challenges.
