Shelley has been a psychologist for many years and was employed for ten years by Queensland Corrective Services. She has provided treatment and assessment to the highest risk prisoners in Queensland and has experience treating men and women in prison, many of whom had a mental health condition or a cognitive disability. Shelley has also worked as a psychologist for Queensland Health working in the Acute Young Adult Ward at Robina hospital and at the Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation unit at the Gold Coast Hospital. For the past seven years Shelley has been running her own psychology private practice and won a tender to Queensland Corrective Services.
She has treated clients with many different mental health conditions including ASD and Intellectual Disability. Over this time Shelley has provided a number of assessments, as a psychologist, for clients which have enabled them to access NDIS funding which has improved their lives immensely. Her interest, over time, in the NDIS grew and she researched this service, its processes and what it was offering to clients in great detail.
Shelley's awareness of the support NDIS was able to offer clients and the enormous benefits it could bring to their lives led her to create Magnus Heath. A business where she could, along with a great team, significantly improve the lives of people living with a disability.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!
The Magnus Ball
This Inaugural Gold Coast Event supports local Queensland Disability and Mental Health Advocacy Services.
Through a Gala Ball and Auction fundraising event Magnus Health will raise money for local services which give voice and provide help, in the form of advocacy, to some of the most vulnerable people in our community. 10 Cent Tom, Respark Collective (resparkco.org) and Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion (qai.org.au) are small charities which do excellent work in our community and deserve our support.
We invite you to see this as an opportunity to stand up for a cause you believe in and be involved in something bigger than yourself. We very much look forward to seeing you on the red carpet!
