Somerville Housing appoints Natasha Fyles as new CEO
Somerville Housing is pleased to announce Natasha Fyles as its incoming Chief Executive Officer following a competitive and rigorous recruitment process.
Natasha is a passionate advocate and supporter of ensuring people living with a disability can access the quality care they need. She has extensive experience and knowledge of the Territory’s disability sector and an unwavering commitment to person-centred care.
Natasha oversaw the Territory’s transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme and understands its complexity and importance in the lives of people with diverse needs, as well as their carers and families.
“Natasha is a compassionate and skilled leader with a history of working across diverse industries with people from all corners of the Territory to deliver outcomes for the communities she serves,” Somerville Chairperson Andrew Caddy said.
“Her professional attributes and personal devotion to supporting people with disabilities aligns seamlessly with Somerville’s vision and mission and makes her an excellent fit for CEO as the organisation approaches its 60th anniversary.”
Natasha is a long term Territorian with an intrinsic understanding of all levels of government and the Territory’s unique operating environment. She can meaningfully engage with diverse stakeholders and influence policy and sector developments related to supported independent living and the broader NDIS framework.
Natasha’s appointment follows a competitive and rigorous recruitment process led by People for Purpose. Chief Operating Officer Ashely Perez will continue to provide Somerville with stable leadership as the acting Chief Executive Officer until Natasha commences in February 2025.
Somerville provides a range of services, including support coordination, supported independent living, specialist disability accommodation and independent living options.
