Meet Kym - Nsw state Manager
Hello! I’m Kym Draeger, and I currently serve as the NSW State Manager at VHCC, where I am responsible for overseeing the delivery of exceptional services to individuals with complex physical and mental disabilities. In my role, I manage and coordinate services across New South Wales to ensure that our participants receive the care and support they need to live as independently as possible. I am deeply passionate about providing meaningful, personalized solutions that make a real difference in the lives of those we serve, and I am dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for both our participants and our team.
Before transitioning into my leadership position at VHCC, I spent over 20 years working in the Community Services industry, specializing in NDIS and Aged Care. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to hold roles that allowed me to help individuals connect with the appropriate NDIS, Aged Care, and mainstream services tailored to their unique needs. My focus has always been on empowering individuals to build their capacity and live life to the fullest, no matter the challenges they face.
I hold qualifications in Community Services, Aged Care, Human Resources, Leadership and Management, WHS, Return to Work Coordination, and Quality Management. In addition, I have completed certifications in Mental Health First Aid, Accidental Counselling, and Therapeutic Crisis Intervention. These qualifications have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to offer compassionate, effective support to individuals with diverse needs.
Outside of work, I have a deep love for music and cooking. I also value spending quality time with my family, particularly during our family holidays. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and I cherish the moments I share with my loved ones.
If you have any NDIS-related questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to me anytime. I’m here to support you every step of the way as we work together to make a positive impact on your journey.
