Profile Summary
Empowered Futures Pty Ltd was founded by Brett & Carolyn Swann in December 2013.
Brett & Carolyn have combined their professional experience with their own personal journey of caring for their daughter Lucy to establish a boutique disability provider.
It is our passion to challenge the way disability services are currently delivered. For over twenty-five years we have watched the commercialisation and commodification of disability care. We have experienced firsthand the frustration of service limitations and provider's support driven solely by funding. We believe there must be a better way. Empowered Futures is committed to finding a better way. We are committed to travelling with families to find creative solutions to everyday struggles. We are committed to empowering families to triumph over the ‘disability system' which rather than provide the necessary supports more often appears to be a blockage or source of frustration.
