Meet the Dantae Support Services Team
At Dantae Support Services, our team is built around dignity, safety, respect and person-centred support. As a registered NDIS provider, we bring together lived experience, disability sector knowledge, operational leadership and practical care experience to support participants, families and support coordinators across Queensland.

Nick Bourman
WHS & Training Manager
"Supporting others begins with understanding their journey. My lived experience with ADHD, and as a parent of a daughter with Autism and ADHD, has taught me the importance of empathy, patience and seeing the person first. When people feel truly understood and supported, they can reach their full potential."

Mickey Egan

"I have always had a passion for supporting the elderly and people with disabilities. After a back injury changed my life in 2004, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of genuine care and support.

For me, this is more than a job—it’s our family’s legacy, one I hope continues for generations to come."
