Supported Care

It is a reminder that starting a conversation about how someone is really going should never be limited to just one day. Checking in with the people around us can happen anytime, and each time it matters.

💛 In the workplace with colleagues
💛 In the community with friends and neighbours
💛 Within our own families and circles of care

Whether it is tomorrow, next week or months from now, asking “R U OK?” reminds people they are seen, heard and valued.
Together, we can make everyday conversations the ones that change lives.

We're working to make equity part of the way we do things every day. Not just written in policies, but reflected in how people experience work.

At Supported Care, our latest WGEA report shows a 3% gender pay gap and strong representation across our team. Still more to do, but proud of the direction we’re heading.

While the national gap sits at 21.7%, Supported Care is doing things differently. Explore the bold moves we're making on equity, leadership, and inclusion in our latest WGEA report.

🌈 June is Pride Month and we’re proud to stand with our LGBTQIA+ communities.

This month, Supported Care officially joined the Welcome Here Project, showing our ongoing commitment to creating safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces. You’ll start seeing the rainbow symbol across our offices as a visible sign of belonging for all.

At Clayfield House, staff and residents brought Pride to life through colour and creativity in our decoration competition. We also joined the Pride celebration at The Wickham for a night of connection, karaoke and community.

Every moment counts when it comes to inclusion, and we’re here for it all!

Rain didn’t stop us from showing up!

Our Managing Director Nathan Johnson and Operations Manager Justin Burmeister recently joined a sector-wide networking event hosted by QAMH at Sunsets Rooftop, Brisbane.

We had great conversations with people who share our passion for building stronger mental health support systems. Big thanks to QAMH for creating the space for connection.

More than meetings, real progress starts with moments like these.

Brisbane - 🌧 A little rain, a lot of impact

Support is more than a service. It’s a lifeline.

To all the people who help others live with dignity and hope - Happy Labour Day!

You are valued beyond words.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some offer a steady hand, a listening ear, or simply show up when it matters most.

This Labour Day, we acknowledge every quiet act of care that helps others feel included, safe and human. We see you, and we thank you.

April is Autism Awareness Month. At Supported Care, we're committed to showing up in meaningful ways.

We support individuals on the autism spectrum through person-centred Psychosocial Disability (PSD) services. Our focus is on real, flexible support that respects each person’s preferences, goals, and routines.

Mental Health and Wellbeing means support that builds confidence, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.
Daily Living and Communication involves practical help with routines, social skills, and independence.

Skilled, consistent staff ensure our team understands neurodiverse support and values long-term, trusted relationships.
Community Inclusion is about supporting people to participate on their own terms, at their own pace.

We know that no two experiences are the same. That’s why we listen first, then work alongside individuals to build support that works for them.

If you’re a support coordinator, health professional, or community leader who shares this vision, we’re open to collaborating.

Let’s keep pushing for better. Inclusion shouldn’t be a goal. It should be the standard.

Did you know that 1 in 88 Australians is autistic?
In 2022, more than 290,000 people were diagnosed, a 42% increase since 2018.

Of those, 73% experience profound or severe limitations in daily activities.

Today, we proudly join Institute of Neurodiversity ION in observing the World Autism Awareness Day Broadcast 2025.
This important initiative brings together autistic voices, global experts, and advocates to drive meaningful change and elevate conversations around inclusion and neurodiversity.

This year’s theme:
"Advancing Neurodiversity and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" — is a timely reminder that building an inclusive world begins with understanding, equity, and respect.

As a support provider, we are committed to fostering inclusive environments where every individual is valued and empowered to thrive.

🌏 Happy Australia Day 2025! 🇦🇺

Today, as we celebrate everything that makes our country so special, let’s reflect on these meaningful words from the Prime Minister:

"Whether you are someone whose ancestors have loved and cared for this land for 60,000 years, or whether you are making the pledge of commitment as a new citizen today, all of us belong to the greatest country on Earth."

Australia is a nation of courage, kindness, and resilience. From those who protect us to those who innovate and build, each of us plays a role in shaping this incredible story.

Here’s to coming together, celebrating our shared values, and looking toward a bright future!

Wishing you all a safe and joyful Australia Day! 💚💛
