Luke

Support Worker, Luke, is in his late twenties. He began in the care industry volunteering even before he finished school. He went on to become an enrolled nurse, and has been applying many of these skills as a Support Worker ever since.

When I first met Shane* I was one of his first Support Workers. Shane’s just a teenager and I was keen to build a positive connection from the start. I could tell he enjoyed hanging out and doing typical teenage stuff. Not long after we met, Shane had a school formal coming up I and was asked to go along. We started gearing up.

On the night we were both decked out in suits and snapped a bunch of photos. Everyone was buzzing: lots of big smiles.

Shane didn’t need a second invitation: he hardly left the dance floor and had the best time.

We stayed until the very end and driving home later, I felt a surge of happiness and relief. It was such a positive experience.

“Something that I think we’ll both remember for a really, long time.”

Meet Erin, our Living My Way Support Worker of the Year! With over four years of dedication to our Members and community, Erin has brought compassion, and a true passion for connection to her role. Here, she shares her story working with our Member John* and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Fenella

The pandemic shifted Fenella to behind the wheel of a bus which was quite a change, but what followed was a new found purpose.

Dave

Every Support Worker brings their own unique qualities to their work. It’s their ‘secret sauce’ but why keep something so valuable a secret? This year we’ve been asking Support Workers to share how they use their discoveries and experience to make a positive difference to our Members.

Empowering people to get on with life.
