July School Holidays Camp
📍 Darlington Point NSW

Teamed up with our friends at Swan Hill Discoveries once again to take an awesome crew away on an outback adventure. We love getting the discoveries branches together and seeing friendships develop each trip. It’s amazing to be able to provide a safe, fun and engaging environment where we can explore new places, new activities and with new friends. Building on our independence, social skills and providing respite!

We were lucky enough to have the local put on a disco for the group to dance the night away 🪩🕺💃🏻

The best crew we could have asked for ⭐️

See you all for the next one ⭐️🥹

This is John who I’m sure most of you would have seen around before- He has been with us for years- one of the OG’s if you will. 👋

John gets around with his sticks ( crutches) or his jazzy gofer normally - however we’re big on an active support model and a big part of that is helping our crew never miss out on the good stuff.

With the help of two of our staff we had John not only out on the court joining in on the fun but in a BUBBLE for bubble soccer.

It isn’t about what we can’t do, it isn’t about missing out when our friends are all having fun. That isn’t what our company is out.

We celebrate our abilities and we maximise on what we can do - And with a bit of help John had a fantastic time.

Check out this SMILE!! 🤩🤩

This is what support work is about, this is what our company is about, this is what I’m so proud to say all of our staff are about. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Fridays with Discoveries 🤝🏽

Discoveries is more than a support company- We are a family and that carries through with our branches. We promote friendships, consistency of staff, key workers and a fun, active support model where you feel welcome and celebrated.

We had some of the SH crew visit as they do every fortnight to catch up and this week we had a blast atBendigo Majorleaguee together!!

An awesome way to get moving all while in stitches of Laughter, even the staff were running a muck 🤣

🌟 Meet Jemma! 🌟

If you’re looking for someone who’s fun, relatable, and full of personality — Jemma’s your girl!

Jemma is our real-life big sister energy — bubbly, smart, and absolutely full of life. She connects instantly with our younger participants and brings a cool, calm, and compassionate vibe to everything she does. Whether she’s leading an activity, lending a listening ear, or cheering someone on to reach their goals, Jemma does it all with heart and enthusiasm.

She’s incredibly switched on, mature beyond her years, and has a natural gift for working in this space. From day one, she’s slotted into the Bendigo Discoveries crew like she was made for it — because honestly, she was!

Currently studying a degree in Community Services, Jemma is passionate about social work, mental health, and overall wellbeing. She’s driven to make a difference and has a deep, genuine care for the people she supports.

💪 Fun facts? Jemma loves hitting the gym and is a bit of a gamer on the side — we love that balance!

We’re so lucky to have Jemma on our team, and we can’t wait to see the incredible impact she’ll continue to make.

✨ If you're looking for a passionate, fun, and motivated support worker who really gets it, reach out today — Jemma might just be your perfect match!

Fri-YAY 🤩⭐️

We’re big believers of support being fun, getting out and about with your mates and enjoying what the community has to offer. Which is why we have a dedicated day to having FUN!

Fridays are our Out & About day, and while we try to do lots of different things, across lots of different towns our crew always beg to go back to The Zone!
It’s a fan favourite and we can’t argue with that.

We love capacity building, with dedicated programs and support focusing on work skills, life skills, cooking, active lifestyle and so much more but it sure is nice to end the week on a high every single week. 🤩

✅ Hiking and exploring the outdoors

✅ Support to work toward your own health and wellbeing goals

Whether you're looking to build strength, improve your fitness, or simply get more active in a supportive environment — this program is for you!

Where active support meets your goals and is tailor to you.
Let’s get moving, feel good, and build confidence — together.
