From participant to leader 👏

Dave’s journey with CBS Inc. is one we’re incredibly proud of. He first joined CBS Inc. as a participant and, when an Employment Assistant role became available, he put his hand up and applied.

Through hard work, dedication, and a genuine commitment to others, Dave progressed into the role of Senior Employment Officer. Now, over 10 years on, he has supported and made a positive impact in the lives of more than 400 participants.

Dave lives and works with integrity, kindness and respect. Within CBS Inc. and the wider community, he leads by example—always willing to lend a hand, speak honestly, and show compassion. His actions reflect strong values and a deep care for people, making him a trusted and admired member of our team and community.

Thank you, Dave, for everything you do 💙

🍽️ Independent Living Skills in Action! 🥕

Our Independent Living Skills group worked together to make a delicious zucchini slice!

From start to finish, the group practiced real-life skills — creating a shopping list, heading out to buy ingredients, and deciding who would take on each cooking task.

👨‍🍳 Team effort highlights:
Jobe grated the zucchini and carrot
Phillip cooked the onion and bacon
Dylan cracked the eggs and mixed all the ingredients together

Everyone had a great time learning new skills they can use in everyday life. The final result looked (and smelled!) fantastic, and the group was very proud of what they achieved.

Afterwards, we worked together to clean up the kitchen and are already excited to see what we’ll cook next! 🌟
