Our People
Joy Cairns OAM | Managing Director of Services
Aurora was established in 1988 by Founder and Managing Director of Services Joy Cairns OAM to meet a need not being met at that time in provision of services for disabled people. Mrs Cairns has two severely intellectually disabled adult children, and was also the Founder of COSMOS Inc (now Mosaic).
Joy loves to walk in the bush, enjoys music, loves working in her garden, searching the markets for bargains, researching family history and reading.
Angelique Payne | Executive Officer
Joy and Angelique can help you with anything and everything to do with Aurora Disability Services!
Since 1988 they have helped Aurora Disability Services provide support and care to many hundreds of people with disabilities of all ages and their families and carers within Hobart and its suburbs, and around Tasmania.
Joy and Angelique have established strong community links to a wide range of excellent services and resources for people of all ages with disabilities, and their support networks. They are highly regarded by other service providers, government agencies both state and federal and business and professional bodies.
When they are not working or spending time with family Angelique loves the beach, a good book, cake decorating, being a foster carer to her foundling dogs, catch-up dinners with her friends and some peace pottering in her garden.
