25.01.2022 2020 has been a challenging year for many, making the need to stay connected all the more important. Today on R U OK? Day, Deborah and Yasamin from our Allied Health Team share the importance of what connecting with others meaningfully and regularly can do for someone’s mental health, particularly if they are struggling. Taking them to lunch, sending them a text and listening without judgement are all helpful ways you can check in and show your support.... This year’s message is ‘There’s more to say after R U OK?’ so whenever we ask our families, mates and colleagues R U OK?, we know what to say if they aren’t. Read more: https://bit.ly/3k5r5PY

15.01.2022 Meet Holly, an independent dance artist! Throughout her career, Holly has faced many challenges due to her disability. She thought that because of her disability she wouldn’t be able to pursue an artistic career. After joining a dance workshop for people with disability, her perspectives shifted....

11.01.2022 There continues to be misconceptions surrounding those living with disability, particularly when it comes to employment. One common myth Holly unpacked for us was that people without disability often think that people with disability can only do certain jobs, such as office work. Her experiences have demonstrated that although people with disability may not always be able to do jobs in a traditional way, with the right support, they can do them, just differently.

10.01.2022 Securing a job can have a huge positive impact on your life. This was the case for James who was previously long-term unemployed and had suffered with his own personal barriers.

Six months on and having a job has made James feel more independent and happy. There’s no better feeling than that.

02.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of NAIDOC Week, 2020. A message from our Chairman Con Kittos. NAIDOC Week is a time to reflect and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia. Each year, a theme is chosen to reflect the important issues and events for NAIDOC Week. The NAIDOC 2020 theme - Always Was, Always Will Be. - recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 y...ears. As Australians, I believe that we should embrace and acknowledge the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, our first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, astronomers and artists. This week is a great opportunity for all of us to celebrate the achievements of our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

"To know that I'm supported in that way and that I'm not just another number, it's a really nice feeling!"
