Brendon Woolf- National Participant Director

Brendon is an intellectual voice for participants. He has 39 years of experience living with a disability, is a NDIS participant and currently lives in an SDA apartment. Brendon has worked in multiple professional settings and is educated in the NDIS participant space due to his own personal experience.

One of the most impactful ways Brendon has been able to help other participants is through the experience he gained when he applied to the NDIA for SDA funding to live alone. This experience shaped Brendon as he was originally provided with shared occupancy SDA funding. To fight for sole occupancy SDA funding, Brendon fought for three years, and this involved proceeding all the way to a hearing in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. He won! 

Brendon’s personal experience and knowledge gained from this journey has given him a unique ability to help participants. And it is his passion to help, which is one of the many key reasons participants are choosing Brighter Living Australia as their SDA Provider. As the National Participant Director for Brighter Living Australia, Brendon leads the team in participant advocacy and is a shining light for all vulnerable people.
