Stacey Touma

CEO

Stacey Touma is a strategic leader, advocate, and experienced professional dedicated to ensuring families of children with disability feel informed, supported, and empowered. As CEO of Belongside Families, she leads with a deep commitment to innovation, inclusion, and evidence-informed approaches, creating contemporary programs that help families navigate raising a child with disability.

With extensive strategic, operational and project management experience spanning the corporate, not-for-profit, and professional sporting sectors, Stacey brings both expertise and lived experience to her work. As a mum of a high schooler with disability, she is passionate about fostering independence and self-advocacy, ensuring her son has the confidence and tools to speak up for himself.

Stacey serves on the NSW Government Carers Advisory Council and represents Belongside Families on various government and community committees, working groups, and advisory panels, driving systemic change and advocating for stronger supports and better outcomes for children with disability and their families.

Her strengths-based approach ensures that families are seen not for what they struggle with but for what they can do. She is particularly committed to education and community inclusion, working to break down barriers so that children with disability can fully participate in everyday life.

Outside of work, Stacey enjoys spending time with her husband Mark and their three kids, exploring playgrounds, cafes, and markets!
