History of NOVA's Deaf Service
In 1997 one of NOVA’s team members, Melanie Stewart, approached me to see if we could start a specialist employment service for Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Mel had lots of energy for this task and, with help from members of the Deaf community; we opened in 1998 with Melanie as our Campbelltown Manager.
The Campbelltown team have always been highly motivated and successful. As a result, the program went very well and after Melanie moved on, David Budd took over as Manager. Not only did our Deaf program grow, we also began to work with people who have other disability. Our team grew in size – up to 11 staff by 2007.
