LEARNING & LEISURE TEAM

Enrolled Nurse/ Support Worker

 I am an Enrolled Nurse with a passion for mental health, and nursing interventions specifically in mental health.

I've worked as a support worker and recently started working in aged care. I have learned more and more everyday about the challenges my clients face,

I then realised that the support they may need sometimes can be a nice chat and a nice walk in the park.

I am very passionate to bring positivity to people. I am patient and I enjoy to have a nice and steady pace with my clients. I am thrilled to meet with new people, and to share their challenges and to help their day to be a bit brighter.”

Mental Health Support Worker

 I am currently pursuing my Cert IV in Allied Health Assistance, due to my own personal journey and passion for mental health. Over the past two years, I have contributed to the field as a support worker, with a desire to empower others to overcome challenges, realize their aspirations and to achieve their goals. I aspire to elevate my impact further by undertaking a Bachelor of Social Work to further foster positive change in individuals' lives and advocate for mental health awareness.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I have a diverse range of interests, evidenced by my garage filled with various hobbies. While some passions may have been fleeting, my main interest lies in the art of crochet, a skill I have honed for around 8 months. With unfinished projects and a colourful array of yarn adorning every corner of my living space, I plan on learning to knit soon too. 

A nurturing spirit extends to my home life, where I share my space with an array of pets- my two cats Ash and Lynx, my four birds Martini, Frostbite, Charlie and Pretzel, my snake Soba, and my fish.

 I take great pride in being an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community, embracing he/they pronouns. Through actively participating in queer events, I hope to contribute to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.

  My name is Kevin Jericho Catan, and I became a Support Worker because I genuinely care about making a difference in people’s lives, especially during moments when they need it most. My journey from hands-on work has taught me patience, humility, and the importance of showing up every day with purpose and heart. I believe that support goes beyond completing tasks—it’s about building trust, respecting each person’s story, and helping them feel seen, heard, and valued. With my training in Community Services, I bring both practical skills and compassion into every interaction. My goal is simple but meaningful: to be someone others can rely on and to make each day a little easier and brighter for the people I support.
