She possesses a deep understanding of the scheme and has a strong passion for ensuring our participants are living their best lives, and that their right to choice and control is being respected and empowered.

Shannon is truly fluent in the language of NDIS. She ensures that Verity's policies and procedures are closely aligned with the NDIS Code of Conduct and Practice Standards. She is also the contact point for our SDA owners, ensuring that their property is professionally and effectively managed.

Kal Krzyzanowski
Ambassador and Chief Podcaster​
Verity Group Australia is very pleased to have Kal on board. He is a young man with Autism.
Kal is an avid lover of all things sport (except baseball apparently), ballroom dancing, racing, fishing and general game play. He’s not a fan of politics, freeways or tuna mornay.
One of the ways that Kal brings these passions to life is through podcasting. Amongst other things, he’s going to champion Verity’s first podcast series – The Verity Podcasts. You’ll soon be able to hear him talk with all sorts of people in the disability industry, and shed some light on the many contributing roles that people play in bettering participants’ lives.
