25.01.2022 Congratulations to Max and Sam for completing the Rule The Tools Program! They have learned the use of many hand and power tools, including their purpose, features and safety! #EveryoneDeservesAWorkingFuture #SocialDistancing

25.01.2022 It is widely agreed that COVID19 has impacted what NDIS Participants can access and do. E.g. many activities in community type centres have been postponed, suspended, or cancelled, due to closure of these facilities. However, maintaining social connection while complying with social distancing will reduce social isolation, and this is achievable.

24.01.2022 Hello, I am Julie. Doesn't everybody love editing and proof reading? I did #BizAbility to explore how I could turn my skills and passion for detail into an online proofreading and editing business. I learnt how to use design thinking and business models to do this. I also made new friends and learnt how to regain my positive outlook for life, which I did! I really recommend this program to anyone who wants to take the next step forward, even if they don't think they can. You are with people who believe in you and what you can do. #EveryoneDeservesAWorkingFuture NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme

24.01.2022 Hi, I am Hodda. I now have a JOB! I joined #BizAbility to explore how I might turn my skills in making soft toys for little girls into a business. Not only did I learn how I could explore this using design thinking and business models, I also became more positive and confident in myself. This helped me gain a paid traineeship and I will explore my business idea in the future. If you want to work with positive people who believe in you and encourage you, I really recommend #BizAbility! #EveryoneDeservesAWorkingFuture NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme
