Brief info
Elizabeth Archer (Lizzy) is a compassionate and dedicated Support Coordinator with a deep empathy for others and an unwavering focus on supporting individuals' needs. Driven by a personal connection to the field, Lizzy's experience with her older brother, who has an intellectual disability, fuels her passion for ensuring others receive the care and attention they deserve. She is committed to empowering those she works with to have their voices heard and advocate for the best possible support options.
Lizzy places a strong emphasis on building meaningful, trusting relationships with those she supports. She works closely with individuals to help them make informed decisions that align with their goals and preferences, always ensuring their needs are at the forefront of every choice. Her person-centred approach fosters independence and prioritises the unique desires of each individual she works with.
With over two decades of customer relations experience across a variety of industries—including Recruitment, Finance, Retail, Recreation, Telecommunications, and Health/Medical—Lizzy has developed a versatile skill set and a deep understanding of what it takes to serve others. She has also spent four years teaching water exploration and swimming to individuals of all ages, from babies as young as 6 months to adults, including those with special needs, enhancing her ability to adapt her approach to each individual’s situation.
In 2019, Lizzy relocated to the South Coast from Sydney with her husband and two sons. With her husband serving in the Defence Force, Lizzy has become adept at navigating the challenges that come with Defence life, which has further developed her resilience and adaptability.
Outside of work, Lizzy enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends. She loves cooking, reading, gardening, travelling, attending concerts and comedy shows, and listening to podcasts. Lizzy cherishes the experiences she shares with her loved ones and is always eager to explore new adventures.
Her favourite quote, from comedian and podcaster Theo Von, is a guiding principle in her life: "Nothing changes if nothing changes." Lizzy believes this quote is a powerful call to action—reminding us that progress requires us to step out of our comfort zones and make intentional changes in our lives to achieve growth and improvement.
