NDIS Hero Trudi Lost Everything– Let’s Help Her Rebuild

Meet Tudi

Trudi is an NDIS support worker, a mother, a wife, and a quiet local hero who never expects anything in return. She shows up, every single day, for the people who rely on her care.

But now, she needs us.

What Happend

During the recent devastating floods, while many were seeking safety, Trudi left home at 5:15 AM in Kings Creek to reach vulnerable NDIS participants depending on her support.

On the way, rising floodwaters engulfed her Ford Ranger. Water surged past her chest. The car’s electronics failed, and she was trapped inside.

With nothing but raw courage, Trudi kicked the car door open and escaped, saving her life — all while simply trying to do her job and help others.

What She Lost

This isn’t the first time tragedy struck.

Trudi and her family’s oyster farm was destroyed by floods in 2021, and now again in 2025. It was their livelihood, their future. Gone.

Her husband has had to take a job in the mines to support the family, now living away from home. Their life has been turned upside down — again.

But She Keeps Showing Up

Despite losing everything (twice), Trudi continues to care for others.

She hasn’t stopped working. She hasn’t stopped giving.

She never asked for help — but she deserves it.
