Creating an inclusive workplace starts with the small things. Knowing how to support your colleagues with disabilities respectfully makes a big difference.

Do ✅

* Ask before helping
* Respect people’s independence
* Listen and adjust when needed

Don’t ❌

* Assume limitations
* Speak over someone or for them
* Ignore accessibility needs

Inclusion is about respect, understanding, and giving everyone the opportunity to contribute. Every action counts 💚

🏡 Adapting Homes for Disability Needs

A home is more than just four walls — it’s where independence, safety, and quality of life should flourish. Yet for many people with disability, everyday spaces can present barriers that limit freedom and comfort.

From small changes like grab rails and non-slip flooring, to major modifications such as ramps, widened doorways, and accessible bathrooms, home adaptations are about creating environments that enable confidence and dignity. 💚

Today is R U OK? Day - Thursday 11 September. 💬💚

It’s more than just a question — it’s a reminder that conversations have the power to change lives.

Checking in with someone doesn’t mean having all the answers — it means showing up, listening without judgment, and reminding them they’re not alone.

🧠 1 in 5 Australians experience mental health challenges each year, but together, we can create a culture where reaching out and speaking up feels safe.

Take a moment to check in with a friend, a colleague, a family member — anyone who might need to hear that you care!

Can we sub in permanently? 👀 Someone please tell the Forestville Eagles they’ve officially got some new superfans (and potential recruits).

From shooting hoops to hyping each other up from the sidelines, the boys had a blast. Happy Monday! 🤩🏀

When Guy Sebastian’s in town… you know it’s going to be a good night 🎤

A few weekends back, Jacob and Jordan caught his concert live and the vibes were unreal. Singing, dancing, laughing — the works. And the best part? They even got to meet the man himself 😍 Safe to say everyone’s still buzzing from that night!

Big congratulations to our new Team Manager, Jacob! 👏🎉 A familiar face to many of our clients and team, Jacob has been with Bridging Barriers since the early days — and we’re so excited to see him step into this next chapter.

“Being given the opportunity to be a Team Manager is something I’m incredibly grateful for. With the trust and belief from Chelsea and our staff, I feel a big responsibility to support both our clients and our amazing team. I’ll do all I can to provide a safe, enjoyable and empowering space for everyone.”

Jacob has always been driven by connection, care, and community:

“I’m excited to work more closely with our support workers — getting to know them, building those relationships, and making sure we’re delivering the best experience possible to our clients.”

His journey with Bridging Barriers started back in the early days:

“Chelsea and I actually went to high school together at Mercedes College. After I returned home to Adelaide from studying in the U.S. — I’d been there for five years completing a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Sociology — we caught up and she offered me a role as a support worker. I’ve always had a passion for understanding people and our differences, and this felt like the perfect way to use what I’d learned while making a real difference.”

Over the past 3 years, Jacob has supported a wide range of clients across different age groups and disabilities. But one thing stays the same:

“What I love most is the interactions with our clients. While our job is to support and empower them, I’ve found they’ve taught me so much about myself. I genuinely live a more balanced and meaningful life because of it.”

As he steps into his new leadership role, his goals are simple but powerful:

“I want to be a support worker our clients trust and enjoy spending time with — and a colleague our team feels comfortable coming to for support. I’d also love to help match workers and clients based on shared interests and personality fits.”

And his daily motivation?
“Life is short — and we only have so much time to pursue our passions, achieve our goals, and make an impact on the people around us.”
