Home/About

A boutique care provider with strong values.

Nurtured Spark is a boutique provider — deliberately small — so we can know each person we support by name, by story, and by what a good day looks like for them.

Meet Kez

Founder, accredited social worker, advocate.

I am an Accredited Social Worker providing dedicated support for Veterans, NDIS participants, and private aged care clients. Through years of frontline experience, I have learned that meaningful outcomes and true healing only happen when care is grounded in intentional attention, reliability, kindness, and dignity.

These core values form the very foundation of Nurtured Spark. We operate on the heartfelt belief that everyone has a unique spark inside them, and we are here to provide the supportive, gentle framework needed for yours to flourish. Whatever your goals may be, I am deeply committed to walking alongside you on this journey.

What we believe

Six beliefs that shape every interaction.

Belief 01

Choice and control.

Across every service — NDIS, veterans, private — the person we support leads the decisions. Their goals, their times, their home, their pace.

Belief 02

Presence over hurry.

A visit isn't a task list. It's time held for a person.

Belief 03

Dignity is non-negotiable.

Every choice starts with what the person would choose for themselves.

Belief 04

Families are part of the team.

We keep loved ones informed and involved, without overwhelming them.

Belief 05

Plain language, always.

If it can't be explained in a kitchen conversation, it isn't explained yet.

Belief 06

Consistency, on your terms.

The same familiar face, at times that suit your life — not ours.

Where we work

Across metropolitan Melbourne & regional Victoria.

We meet you where you are and how you want. Face-to-face or over the phone, whichever makes the conversation easiest for you.

In person

At home or in community

We come to you — kitchen, garden, local café, community centre, or the hospital bedside.

Online

Video or phone support

When getting out of the house isn't easy, we meet online or by phone — same worker, same warmth.

Blended

Mix & match

Some weeks need an in-person visit; others, a quick call works better. We flex around your life.
