Say hello to our Common Ground support team

We’re delighted to welcome our new Supportive Housing Team in South Australia. This team is here to work alongside Common Ground residents, lend a hand where it’s needed and help create a friendly and supportive community. You can look forward to seeing our support staff around for a chat, offering support and helping with activities and programs – all to make life at Common Ground more enjoyable. Let’s meet the team!

Heidi – Case Coordinator

“I’m deeply committed to community development and creating safe, inclusive spaces where everyone feels they belong. I look forward to creating programs that residents can enjoy and embrace as their own.” Morgana – Community Connections Officer

“My focus is on empowering residents to live their best lives and build a supportive community at Common Ground. My style is person-centred, respectful of boundaries, and always about doing with rather than for.”

Jess – Connections Support Worker

Tegan – Case Coordinator

“I look forward to working with residents to identify their goals and strengths, using the amazing community around us. My approach is about empowerment, advocacy, and achieving change with a social justice focus.” “I hope to bring fun, laughter, experience and openness to learn. Of course, with a sprinkle of rainbow and an Italian accent! I love empowering people, because when you are empowered, the sky is the limit.” Fran – Participation Officer

“I am passionate about creating a welcoming environment and building strong relationships within our community. My favourite part of this role is seeing residents participate, grow, and achieve their goals.”

Sharni – Case Support Worker

“I believe every person is the expert in their own life. My aim is simply to help them reconnect with that and support them to move toward their own goals and aspirations, whatever they may be.”
