Career growth is an inspiring and motivating journey, and at Healthcare Australia (HCA), opportunities to develop professionally are endless. Chloe Camp, one of HCA’s dedicated NDIS Learning and Development Coordinators, exemplifies how passion, teamwork, and continuous growth can lead to incredible achievements.
Chloe shares her story, from her initial role as a Disability Support Worker to her current position leading workforce development. Her insights reveal the rewarding nature of supporting individuals while striving to create an inclusive community for everyone.
Starting the Journey with HCA
Chloe first joined HCA in 2020 as a Disability Support Worker based in Newcastle, New South Wales. “Becoming a support worker felt like the perfect fit for me,” Chloe recalls. “It was a chance to contribute to the greater good and make a real impact on people’s lives.”
Her personal experiences and strong belief in respect, dignity, and community liberation made her deeply passionate about working within the NDIS framework. Chloe’s commitment to empowering others allowed her to thrive in her early role, creating meaningful connections with her participants while providing high-quality care.
A Career of Growth and Progress
Over the years, Chloe’s dedication to her work and her ability to build strong relationships paved the way for steady career advancement.
After gaining invaluable experience as a support worker, she briefly stepped into the recruitment sector before returning to HCA as an NDIS Recruitment Consultant. Her hard work and drive didn’t go unnoticed, and she was soon promoted to an NDIS Senior Recruitment Consultant role.
Following another six months of outstanding performance, Chloe reached a significant milestone in her career–earning the position of NDIS Learning and Development Coordinator.
When reflecting on the steps to her progression, Chloe highlights the importance of teamwork. “I worked hard to build strong relationships with stakeholders, managers, and my team. Success didn’t come from working alone, but by fostering great collaboration and support.”
Listening and Understanding Through Support
Chloe’s experience in disability support shaped her compassionate approach to care and her understanding of the importance of individualised support.
“When I was a support worker, my first priority was listening to what my participants needed,” Chloe recalls. “I always reviewed their support plan and care notes to anticipate their needs and ensure I met the NDIS quality and safeguarding standards.”
These practices not only helped Chloe provide personalised care but also created a strong foundation of trust and positivity with her participants. “Every smile and every shift confirmed the difference I was making,” she adds. “It was proof of the impact we could have on improving lives and fostering independence.”
Advancing Careers Through Learning and Development
Today, as a Learning and Development Coordinator, Chloe channels her expertise into advancing HCA’s workforce. Her role involves designing and implementing training programs to enhance employees’ skills and knowledge while aligning with NDIS practice standards.
“It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that my work directly supports career growth for HCA’s staff while promoting safer, more effective practices,” Chloe says. “I leave work every day knowing I’m contributing meaningfully to HCA’s vision and the broader NDIS community.”
Chloe believes that continuous learning should be central to any organisation’s success. By prioritising professional development, Chloe helps empower NDIS staff to provide exceptional care and maintain high standards of practice.
A Lasting Impact Through Everyday Contributions
Chloe finds it difficult to pinpoint one standout moment where she felt she had positively impacted a customer’s life. “It was every day,” she explains. “Every time I confirmed a shift, showed up, or supported a client, I knew I was contributing positively to their independence and overall well-being.”
This unwavering dedication is what continues to motivate Chloe, ensuring that her team shares the same passion for delivering exceptional outcomes and putting participants’ needs first.
Advice for Newcomers
For individuals beginning their careers as support workers or looking to advance in the industry, Chloe has simple but valuable advice.
“Be open and willing to pick up shorter shifts,” she encourages. “It’s the best way to learn about the wide variety of participants needing NDIS support while gaining valuable experience.”
She also highlights the importance of building deep relationships with clients. “Engage with participants and their stories. Understanding their unique needs builds confidence and enhances your skill set, making you a stronger asset in this field.”
