Trauma-Informed NDIS Support for Young People: From Support Worker to CEO | Yosmerys Aparicio Cuencas
Q: So just to give the audience a bit of a taster, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

10 Years, No Shortcuts: Vision, Hustle & Balance with James Bennett

NDIS Home Care Technology: How One App Is Solving the Family Coordination Problem | Lisa Thomson
Q: How do you balance technology with the human element in care?
Technology should free up time for meaningful human connections, not replace them. We designed Harmony Health Hub to be highly intuitive, with multiple views and personalization options, so care teams can focus on the person while the system handles coordination, safety, and information sharing.
NDIS Home Care Technology: How One App Is Solving the Family Coordination Problem | Lisa Thomson
Q: What pulled you into product development in health technology in the first place?
I've always loved solving problems for customers and translating that into easy-to-use tech. Early work in pharmacy showed me how complex operations could be made simple for a broad frontline audience, which motivated me to build platforms that scale across many sites.
Rebuilding Allied Health: Inside Australian Therapy Hub & the Tech Changing Care
Q: What made you want to build Australian Therapy Hub?
We saw repeated frustrations from participants, providers, and support workers, including inefficiencies, long travel times, and disjointed systems. The idea was to create a single place where therapy data, goals, and payments could live together, reducing admin burden and enabling therapists to focus on care.
