| Good afternoon, I am currently working as a casual as an ATSO (assisted travel officer), for Autistic Children to and from school. I also have been working in the Special Education area at a local High School, as a Teachers Aid. I have over the past 6 years been commuting to Perth, as my Dads sole carer. He has been in a nursing home with a debilitating disease, which he succumb to in September last year. When I was there I spend day and night with him, and am fully aware of the vulnerability of our beautiful aged population. I truly love being around our elders, and would like to make a difference in a special persons life. Thank you

| I have worked for many years in a industry that shows how elderly people need their independence and socialization, however not everyone is able to achieve the life that they are untitled to with or without the help of family, friends or organizations to assist. I believe that with the assistance and reassurance of those who care, the aging population can live at home and enjoy the ability of everyday living with hope and happiness and less stress.. .
