ROSTERING MANAGER

Hi my name is Gideon MacGowan and I am a dedicated rostering manager at Made to Help. With a diverse professional background, I bring a wealth of experience and a unique skill set to my current role. Before joining Made to Help, I spent over 5 years in the financial industry before into a role within the Housing Team at Indigenous Business Australia as a Principal Loan Management Officer.

I hold two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Queensland: a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Peace & Conflict Studies, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My extensive educational background, combined with my professional experience, equips me with exceptional attention to detail, communication, and coordination skills.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to empathy, advocacy, and social justice, particularly in my work with marginalized communities. My passion for equality and my ability to understand and meet the needs of others make me a valuable asset in any support and advocacy role. What truly drew me to the role of Support Coordinator through the NDIS was the opportunity to help others meaningfully. This aligns with my passion for making a difference and providing assistance to those in need.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing football, traveling, and drinking coffee. Most days, you can find me at my wife’s café, enjoying a drink and the atmosphere. I cherish spending time with my daughter, whether it’s embarking on bike rides, building IKEA furniture, going to the park, watching Bluey, or making coffee together. Since meeting my wife I have very much become a Foodie! Given my wife’s Filipino heritage, our family embraces our love for food and eating together.

As a social worker, my focus is on helping individuals achieve their goals by connecting them with the right services and supports. I’m passionate about making a positive impact in people’s lives.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work, which I earned in 2020.
