CEO
Sharon Murphy
CEO of Keeley’s Cause
I am a mother of 3 children, 2 of those have Autism, and my youngest has an Intellectual Disability on top of her Autism diagnosis.
I have a Diploma in Community Welfare and a Cert IV in Training and Assessment, with over 14 years of experience in the Welfare Sector and over 15 years of experience in the Volunteering Sector amongst different Communities.
I am also passionate about Domestic Violence Intervention Programs, having worked with a number of women over the years teaching self-esteem and offering Counselling Services to those impacted by Family Violence.
I am also an active Volunteer for both Keeley’s Cause and Lions Australia, in which I have been President of Ballan Lions Club for the past 3 years.
I have been with Keeley’s Cause from the date of its creation in June 2017 and have watched the Organisation flourish into a Nationally Registered Charity, working behind the scenes with the founder Keeley ensuring her directions for her Cause are met.
I liaise with families and their children, advocating for the rights and inclusion of children with Disabilities.
I am responsible for processing and selecting iPad applicants and arranging their presentations with Keeley and Sponsors; I’m honoured to be a part of this rapidly growing Charity that is uniquely created by a young girl who has experienced challenges and struggles in receiving an Education.
To be able to support her to empower and change the lives of others with additional needs is truly inspiring.
