Danniella Reardon (Danni)
Founder - Hope Minded Support Services
Supporting people to live their best lives has always been at the centre of who I am. My passion began early, watching my mum care for my grandmother who lived with us. Seeing the impact of genuine, compassionate support sparked something in me, and I knew I wanted a career where I could make a real difference in people’s lives.
At 17, I began working in an aged care facility and quickly discovered how much I loved the work. By 21, I realised I wanted to spend more one on one time with the people I supported - time to truly understand their goals, build meaningful relationships, and tailor support in a way that genuinely suited them. This led me into the disability sector, where I found exactly what I had been searching for.
My journey through the NDIS space has been shaped by hands on experience and a deep commitment to learning. At 23, I stepped into a Team Leader role within a complex behaviour Supported Independent Living home. Working closely with participants and their families, I gained invaluable insight into how to deliver high quality, person centred support while helping people work toward their life and NDIS goals.
By 25, I felt a strong pull to create something of my own - something grounded in compassion, connection, and genuine care. That’s when Hope Minded was born. What began as independent support work has grown into a dedicated team of Support Workers, Support Coordinators, and Psychosocial Recovery Coaches who share the same values and passion for helping others thrive.
Today, I’m proud to lead a team that loves what they do and shows up every day with heart, integrity, and a commitment to empowering the people we support.
