Meet the team: Aaron Pagett

Meet Aaron – he has been a lifestyle support worker at our Palm Island service at for the last 4 months. 

A proud Butchella man, born in Hervey Bay, Aaron has spent most of his life in Townsville - most recently his focus has turned to supporting our Palm Island consumers access their community and work towards their NDIS goals.  

“I've been working as a support worker with different providers for the past 4 years and have really enjoyed my time doing it,” Aaron said.  

“Before I started doing support work, I drove taxis, we did lots of pickups for children with disabilities. 

“These kids were the highlights of my day, and I knew I wanted to work more with people.  

“I have also had my own personal experiences with mental health issues, and I feel my experiences can help others overcome theirs.

Over the last year selectability has launched new group programs to cater for the needs of our consumers.

“Working at selectability has been the best job I've ever had; we have a great team over here on Palm Island and all our consumers make you feel welcomed and a part of the community. 

In his spare time, Aaron enjoys indulging in this hobbies and quality time with loved ones.
