★ Meet Claire · Founder & Lead Practitioner
I built ELSS for people like us.
Counsellor, case manager, foster carer for 20+ years, and a neurodivergent woman diagnosed later in life. I walk alongside participants and their carers because I’ve walked there too.
Foster carer to children & youth with complex needs.
Members of my own family on the NDIS.
Qualifications across counselling, social science & law.
Always. One key worker, your whole team joined-up.
Who I am.
I’m Claire Burton, an experienced counsellor and case manager providing NDIS and private services to Gold Coast and Brisbane residents, with remote services available across all other regions of Australia.
I’m a neurodivergent woman diagnosed later in life, and I deeply understand the frustrations of living in a world that often feels out of sync.
Why this work.
I spent over 20 years as a foster carer for children and youth with complex needs, and I have four members of my own family on the NDIS. Being part of complex government and non-government systems has given me the real-life experience and skills to genuinely walk alongside participants and their carers.
As the owner and operator of Evolution Launch Support Services, I offer a comprehensive range of services designed to empower individuals and families to achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.
How I work.
I am committed to providing innovative, person-centred support, and to always being honest about what I can and cannot do. If I’m not the right fit for what you need, I’ll say so — and help you find the right person.
The Key Worker Model — and why I use it with adults too.
Traditionally used with children, the Key Worker Model puts one trusted person at the centre — creating cohesion, reducing overwhelm, and ensuring every support is working toward the same goals. I bring it to adults, because adults deserve it too.
Holding everything together yourself.
One person who joins the dots.
This is not simply task management. It is relationship-based, trauma-informed support that recognises the emotional weight carried by participants and carers every day.
