Stephen Belesky
Client Services Manager
Stephen enjoys interacting with people and taking the time to hear their stories. This was the main reason he became a qualified counsellor. Stephen has mostly worked in the community sector and has a strong interest in the area of mental health. Stephen believes that the most effective way to support someone is by spending time to get to know them. He is someone that likes doing things with people, rather than for them.
Stephen enjoys a challenge. This can be fixing something that breaks or finding a great deal on marketplace. Away from work, he likes being outside, mowing lawns or maintaining the garden. Stephen's ideal place is somewhere near water and can spend hours either fishing or just enjoying the view. He also appreciates the simple things like taking the dog for a walk or having a coffee

Ashleigh loves working with animals and has taken a particular interest in cattle resulting in the dream of one having her own.

Aaron Thayer
Operations Manager
Aaron is a husband and father, he made a big decision to change career paths in 2001 and this led to a significant change of course. He finished a bachelor of Social Work degree in 2004 and went though different roles, family support work, child protection work, then for many years working with people who have mental illness and the many other challenges in their lives. Aaron feels that being able to help people in any way on their life's journey is a privilege and a blessing. This has also been a matter of faith for Aaron, being caring, compassionate and helpful are part of his belief and therefore a natural extension into his work. Doing this work has blessed his life in so many ways. In recent years, Aaron was discussing the need for high quality disability support services in Toowoomba with some friends and this became one of many conversations and the eventual launching of Enduring Care. Aaron likes travelling with family, gardening, sport and eating.
