Kaddy Thomas, Founder

Meet Kaddy, a determined and compassionate mother and caregiver. As the parent-carer of Elijah, a young boy who has faced numerous health complications and complex care needs since a tragic brain injury at just 18 months of age, Kaddy has dedicated her life to ensuring that her son receives the best possible care.

With a large team of health professionals at her side, Kaddy has been able to provide Elijah with round-the-clock care. However, the journey has not been easy. In order to become a more effective manager, leader, advocate, and communicator, Kaddy sought out coaching. and the results have been astounding.

Through the coaching, Kaddy has seen improvements in every aspect of her life. She has become a more confident and capable carer, and has been inspired to share her newfound skills and knowledge with other carers who may be facing similar challenges.

This is why Kaddy has established Carers Collective, a platform that offers other carers the chance to access coaching at both affordable prices and fully funded options and give that support to other carers. 

Drawing on her own experiences as a carer and manager, Kaddy knows that collaboration and teamwork are key to success. And this is reflected in the approach she has taken with Carers Collective.

Currently the Carers Collective is running a fully funded 6-week coaching program for carers. It is designed to empower carers and provide them with the tools they need to be effective leaders and advocates for their loved ones. Kaddy's journey as a carer has been challenging, but also rewarding and full of learning, and she hopes to share her experience and inspire other carers to do the same.
