Meredith Coote
GM of Community Circles Australia
Meredith Coote has 38 years of experience in the disability, aged care, and mental health sector. Her work has focused on supporting people to make decisions and how to bring the voice of people to the center of our work, helping them live the life they choose with the support they need. She is passionate about the quality of this support and that connection and relationships are at the heart of living well, that we all need someone to take care of the little things, good company from people not paid to be with us, and a sense of purpose and help to shift into different ways of living throughout our lives.
Meredith has worked in Guardianship and Financial Management, with the NDIS rollout, and in the Profit for Purpose sector at Mable assisting to build the rights and practice of people to self-manage their care and support teams. Meredith has recently become a ‘self-directed’ consultant, leading to extraordinary opportunities to partner with purpose-driven people to drive and influence innovative change in the sector. She is a thought leader, human rights advocate, and believes our best work comes from genuine collaboration. Meredith is also a wife, carer, daughter, friend and mother of 2 fabulous humans, one who is an NDIS participant who she supports to self-manage and reimagine her potential for a life of greater happiness and possibility. Meredith sits on the Advisory Committee for Carers Australia and has run carers mental health groups.
Meredith is a strong advocate for the safeguards and quality of life that community connection provides to assist people to live independent and interdependent lives. She has recently launched Community Circles Australia, partnering with Helen Sanderson in the UK and the Charity Touched by Olivia with the goal of creating better, connected lives for everyone.
