About Sparking A Change

Sparking A Change was created from a belief that inclusion should be more than just a conversation it should lead to real action.

As a disability-led organisation, we bring together lived experience and professional knowledge to challenge barriers, build understanding and encourage positive change. Our work is grounded in genuine connection, strong relationships and a commitment to ensuring people with disability are heard, respected and at the centre of decisions that affect their lives.

With over 10 years of experience across the disability and community services sector, Shereena has worked across support coordination, community development, early intervention, leadership and education. Her experience has given her a strong understanding of the systems people with disability navigate, as well as the importance of ensuring their voice, choice and individual needs remain at the centre.

As a person with disability herself, Shereena brings a perspective that extends beyond professional knowledge. It is this combination of lived and professional experience that continues to shape Sparking A Change and the way she approaches her work.
