Meet our Team

Sharon Bell

Support Coordinator

I’m a Pilates enthusiast who loves hiking and stand-up paddle boarding. My world revolves around my husband, our three wonderful children, and our very happy dog.

​

I’m passionate about building strong, connected communities where everyone feels valued. I love linking people with meaningful activities, supporting them to stay active, and helping them live healthy, fulfilling lives.

​

With a background in health, addiction studies, and community development — along with lived experience supporting a family member through mental health challenges — I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my work.

​

I stand alongside people to ensure their voices are heard and their needs are clearly understood. I’m proactive, enjoy creative problem-solving, and am dedicated to helping people understand the NDIS and make the most of their plans.

Jessica Pasley

Support Coordinator and Director

Beyond work (which occupies a lot of my passion), I'm in to music, reading, gardening, and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. I also love seeking out new spots to walk with my dog.

​

My journey into this industry stemmed from personal experiences. Being married to Stu, who uses a wheelchair, opened my eyes to the discrimination he faces in society. This realisation pushed me to make a difference. With a Bachelor of Commerce and a Diploma in Counselling, I blend personal experience with professional knowledge.

​

My knack for supporting individuals with disabilities, combined with my skills in research, report writing, and problem-solving, became a gateway to help others navigate the intricacies of the NDIS. I've always been drawn to community services because, frankly, I just love helping people.

Stuart Pasley

Support Worker and Director

When I'm not at work, you'll find me getting my hands dirty in the world of woodwork, creating pieces that tell a story.

At work, I'm all about supporting folks to live their best lives, breaking down barriers and proving that obstacles can't hold back the awesome. Living life to the fullest is a right, not a privilege, and I'm on a mission to make that a reality for everyone.

​

Being a wheelchair user, I've got a unique take on the challenges folks with disabilities face. My own experiences fuel my passion to showcase that you can have an incredible, vibrant life, hurdles and all. 

​

With my background and some extra study in Assistive Technology, the Navigate Team often taps into my know-how. I love being the go-to guy for all things AT, bridging the gap and making sure everyone has the tools they need to get on with life.

​

Helping people has always been my thing, and blending that with my background is where I find my sweet spot. Every day, I get to bring value to people's lives, and that's what makes it all worthwhile.

Life is too short for limitations, and I want to be a part of breaking them down. Let's make the journey awesome, together!
