Meet Your Facilitator
Sharon Floyd – Director, Engels Floyd Quality Consulting (EFQC)
Sharon and her team have been supporting disability organisations for decades and have worked with NDIS providers since the NDIS was implemented. EFQC is known for turning the complex into clear, practical, and manageable steps. Before starting EFQC in 2011, Sharon worked in the Commonwealth Government where she helped design Australia’s first certification system for disability services and received an Australia Day Award for excellence in audit processes.
Today, EFQC works with providers of all sizes across Australia — from sole traders through to large organisations — helping them build strong, workable systems and feel confident about compliance. EFQC’s head office is here in Adelaide.
A unique part of EFQC’s work is training the people who assess NDIS providers: since 2018, EFQC has been engaged by the NDIS Commission to train all 1,600 NDIS auditors nationally each year. This gives us rare insight into what auditors look for, common challenges for providers, and what “good” really looks like in practice.
