Nick joined Vivability Ltd as CEO in July 2016 and has a wealth of work experience 35 years in the disability sector. Prior to joining Vivability Nick worked with the NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and Homecare for 29 years in a variety of roles, including managing specialist disability services which included therapy, complex case management, psychology and complex behavioural services, across the Central West of NSW.

Nick has been instrumental in Vivability’s successful transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has positioned the organisation as a leading service provider in the Central West. Nick has guided the expansion of our range of services to meet growing community needs, our ongoing investment in recruitment and staff development, and our continued pursuit of excellence, as keys to success.

Nick is passionate about skills development within the disability sector as a pathway to ensuring providers meet the demand for the range and quality of services from people with disabilities.

Christine Healey joined Vivability in July 2018 as Manager of Support Coordination, bringing with her a strong background in case management from Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC).

Her extensive understanding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and commitment to person-centred support quickly made her a valued leader within the organisation.

In 2019, Christine transitioned into the role of Senior Manager, where she provided strategic leadership across the Clinical Services and Support Coordination streams. Her collaborative approach and ability to foster professional, like-minded teams contributed significantly to service quality and innovation.

In December 2024, Christine commenced her current role as Senior Manager – Corporate Services. Her NDIS knowledge, including eligibility, service navigation, and compliance with the NDIS Workforce Capability Framework and Practice Standards, continues to inform her leadership and drive operational excellence.

Christine thrives in environments that promote teamwork, integrity, and meaningful daily interactions, and she remains passionate about supporting both staff and participants to achieve their goals.
