Leanne Healey

Leanne founded Everyday Independence in 1997 and developed it into a dynamic, interdisciplinary, allied health organisation that achieves great outcomes for people and their families, everyday. She’s passionate about developing the Everyday Independence team to become the best in the world at supporting people and their social networks to push beyond the boundaries of their existing comfort zone and enjoy the everyday life experiences that most take for granted. This was highlighted when she was awarded the Telstra Business Women’s Award for Victorian medium to large businesses, in 2020. The award recognises high-achieving and ambitious women who define the direction of their business.  

Leanne is a regular presenter across Australia on the latest evidence-based therapy approaches and practice. She is currently on the Occupational Therapy Australia (OTA) Board, and has previously acted in an advisory capacity with OTA to develop industry best practice, in addition to supporting many individuals and organisations with their NDIS planning.  Having worked as an Occupational Therapist in Australia for over 35 years, her focus is to make a lasting difference in the lives of these people and their families.
