Holistic Supports, Respite & SILS
Supporting families and the community
The Team
at Quest Collective
Dan Fuller
Founder & El Capitano
Hi everyone!
I’m the founder of the Quest Collective, a holistic NDIS providership based on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. The Quest was birthed out of a passion to support the next generation of leaders and NDIS participants to live amazing lives. Our focus simple: friendship, outdoor adventure, capacity building and holistic living to transform lives.
A little about me: I’ve been active in the youth & disability sector for 15+ years & hold quals in youth & family intervention, TCI, LSI & have trained under the “Youth Flourish Outdoors” team.
We incorporate outdoor adventure, mindfulness & an understanding of trauma to holistically support NDIS participants. I’m easy going, relational and genuinely care about our families & the community.
My team & I share a passion to provide high quality holistic supports to families on the Sunshine Coast (and beyond) with a focus on friendship, capacity building, movement & mindset coaching. My team has availability for supports & respite (with a focus on experiential learning and outdoor adventure) if you have a loved one who would benefit, please share our supports. We are seeing incredible transformation in the lives of those we support & we are on a quest to see this spread throughout our beautiful community.
With much gratitude!
