Meagan Southam is the Founder and Director of Grow & Flourish.

Meagan has extensive experience in the Disability and Rehabilitation field, working in a variety of settings over the past 25 years.  Meagan graduated from Flinders University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Disability Studies) and from University of South Australia in 2003 with a Graduate Diploma in Social Science (Rehabilitation). Meagan has had extensive experience in the disability sector since graduating, having worked in State Government, Non for Profit and the Private Sector in varying roles; such as a Support Worker, Case Manager  and Developmental Educator. Meagan has also worked extensively in the rehabilitation and return to work sector as a Case Manager and Rehabilitation Consultant.

Meagan commenced her work as a sole trader at Grow & Flourish in April 2021, with Grow & Flourish becoming a registered company in June 2023. 

Meagan started Grow & Flourish because she wanted to go back supporting people with a disability in a practical way. Through her roles as a Local Area Coordinator and a Support Coordinator, she felt that there was limited opportunities for participants to access good and reliable Developmental Educators, especially in regional South Australia.

Meagan is determined to make a difference in the community and work alongside people with a disability so they can grow and reach their full potential.
