About Spark

Thane Bourne

Spark owner

Hi - welcome to Spark!

I started Spark Disability Services because I have a passion for helping people to find the mojo, the motivation, the... yes, that's right - the SPARK they need to achieve the things that are meaningful to them.  I get a real kick out of seeing people persevere to achieve things that once upon a time they may have thought were out of reach.

My coaching journey began in 2016, when I was a recent university graduate with little experience, scratching around for a full-time job.  I have always had an interest in how government programs intersect with people's real-life experience (that was the focus of my studies), so when an opportunity came up to work as a Local Area Coordinator in the National Disability Insurance Scheme, I dived in - and that was it, I was hooked!  From my first day in the office, I realised two things: 

First, that coaching was a central part of helping people with disability to realise the potential of their NDIS supports; 

Second, that I wanted to work with people who wanted to take control of their lives. 

So that's the idea I used as the foundation of Spark - don't just give people the fish they need to survive - provide the spark they need to become the fisherman.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Why Choose Us?

Our vision is a world in which everyone feels in control - what you want to achieve and what you can do to get there come down to the choices that are available to you.  If you are feeling that things are not quite where you would like them to be, Spark may be able to help.

Spark supports are built around three basic actions: Listen, Plan, Act.  First, we listen to you - to what you are telling us about what you want and need.  Next, we plan with you - we are going to need a roadmap to reach your end goal!  Finally, we act - we provide support and encouragement to you along the way as we travel the path that has been mapped out.

Thane is a great worker - easy to get along with and he goes out of his way to help you and he is very understanding. I would recommend Thane to anyone!
