Bright Star Support Services

22/12/2025

Wow, what a year it has been!

We want to thank all our amazing clients and their families for allowing us the privilege to come into your homes and support you as you have needed. Bright Star would not be possible without each of you!

To our awesome staff new and old, thank you for your willingness to continue to learn, support, grow professionally but also personally. It is a true honour to reflect on our team and the continual growth not just in hiring more staff but in each of you and your growth as a support worker.

It is important to remember, that Christmas can be a hard time of year. Being autistic and needing a script but it not going to plan. The extra pressure around masking and not sure why you need to be grateful when you really don't like the socks you have been given and actually won't wear them. The overwhelm of wrapped presents and not sure what to expect, the different foods and the list goes on....

I guess what I am saying is its ok to have the same dinner of nuggets and chips. Its ok to have that same breakfast.. It is also ok to spread out the opening of gifts through out the day or even days. You make the day work for you as best as you can.

We hope that the next week you are able to find small moments of joy and peace.

Merry Christmas and have a safe happy new year.

With Kindness always, The Bright Star team.

Hi everyone, we have been nominated for this year's Onkaparinga Business Awards.

It has been a challenging year with myself (Bianca) having a lot of medical challenges but with an amazing team at hand we continued to support, grow and stay in our values of Connection through Kindness. And for that I am so grateful for Bright Star, our families and the continual growth professionally and personally.

We would love for you to vote for us and smash out the year with a pretty epic award.

We are looking for the right fit for Bright Star. Someone who is compassionate, kind, able to work in a team dynamic but also independently. Someone who wants to make a bigger change in this world.

If you feel you are the right one, please email us your resume and a cover letter telling us about you. We will send you the full job description and go from there.

We are super excited to announce that we have capacity to support!
We do things differently by ensuring we find the right fit for the support you are wanting.

I like to think of it as you probably wouldn't put peanut butter and tomato sauce together, but you might peanut butter and honey so let's find you the right human that can connect and support you today.

(The above is a weird analogy brought to you by our director Bianca!)

Please press the link below to put an enquiry in about support services and you will hear from us soon after.

Excited to share our next Dungeons and Dragons Campaign program.

We have a few spots still available so if you are keen please reach out to Elah as per flyer.

It is great fun and the last session there is always a possibility of dressing up as your character to end it all.

It is with a heavy heart, we have decided to close the doors to support coordination. Our final date to allow for a smooth transition is 31st July 2025. We would like to thank Katherine for all the hard work she has put into supporting our clients for the past 12 months. For Bright Star this will allow us to re-focus on the growth of support work and opening our books once again to support work both for clients and for employment.
I (Bianca) am excited to bring in new programs, workshops and more.

Wanted to share this. Not for people to say wow you’re amazing etc but to show being a business owner is hard work. I truly put my heart and love and passion into my business. Feeling fragile after a long week and looking forward to a weekend with my children and getting my cup filled.

I hope each of you have a beautiful weekend and are able to have a sparkle of joy and hope that fills your cup also.
