Mahala

Mahala joins Autism Intuition as a Support Coordinator after almost three years working within the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). In her role as a Personal Information Access and Freedom of Information Officer, she developed a strong understanding of NDIS systems and processes while supporting participants and stakeholders to access information and navigate complex requirements.

With lived experience as the mum of a son with Autism and ADHD, Mahala brings genuine understanding of some of the challenges families can experience when navigating disability services and advocating for the right supports. This has shaped her passion for advocacy, inclusion, and helping people feel heard and understood.

Mahala enjoys building meaningful connections and empowering participants and families with clear information and practical support. She brings a calm, compassionate and person-centred approach, with a focus on helping people understand their options and feel confident navigating the NDIS.

Outside of work, Mahala enjoys spending time with her family, exploring local markets, café hopping, and baking something sweet to share with family and friends.
