Day 2 of โ€œ5 Days of the Zooโ€!
Yesโ€ฆ we were only at the zoo for one day. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But we took so many pictures that it deserves its own mini-series!

Todayโ€™s batch shows how much fun and how many smiles we got to see! We walked, we talked, we laughed and we wondered!

Canโ€™t wait to share more tomorrow. If you thought Day 2 was fun, just wait. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

We recently had the best time at Billabong Zoo in Port Macquarie โ€” such a fun day out, and we managed to tick so many boxes for the beautiful people who joined us.

We took way too many photos for just one post, soโ€ฆ weโ€™re doing 5 Days From the Zoo! ๐Ÿฅฐ
Stay tuned โ€” each day Iโ€™ll share a few more of the amazing moments we captured.

Day 1 starts today!

Weโ€™re proud to regularly welcome students into placements at CHSS!
Itโ€™s always inspiring to see them grow, learn, and actively participate as the future workforce of our industry.
Supporting the next generation of care professionals is something weโ€™re passionate about, and we love helping them develop from student to skilled worker.

Thank you NV College - RTO 40787 for giving us the opportunity to be part of this journey!

๐ŸŽจโœจ Art Hunt Adventure! โœจ๐ŸŽจ

Today our clients took part in a creative โ€œArt Hunt,โ€ where each person received a special list of items to search for within the artworks on display. It was such a fun and engaging way to explore the gallery!

Not only did participants connect more deeply with the art, but they also connected with each other and our staffโ€”sharing their discoveries, comparing notes, and celebrating each little find together.

A special thank you to our Support Worker Sam who went out of her way to plan this great event.

Moments like these remind us how powerful art can be in bringing people together. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Iโ€™ve had the privilege of working across many sectors of CHSS - from starting as a student and support worker, to senior support, internal quality improvement, audit and compliance, WHS committee member, and now as a Coordinator overseeing SIL (Supported Independent Living) accommodation.
My day-to-day work involves supporting teams of staff to provide the most tailored support to clients living in SIL accommodation - helping them live lives that promote independence, self-achievement, and capacity building while achieving their goals and embracing inclusivity and individuality.

The most meaningful recent moment was watching three participants move into a new SIL and gradually transform that space from three strangers living together into a home filled with laughter, banter (and the occasional disagreement! ๐Ÿ˜…) but above all, joy, camaraderie, and companionship. What was once an empty space is now a home for three lovely lads from the local community. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ’š Slime Time at Our Community Supports Day Programme! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿงช

Todayโ€™s activity got a little gooey โ€” we made our very own slime! Everyone had a chance to mix, stir, and get creative with colors and textures. While a few of our clients decided the slimy feeling wasnโ€™t quite their favorite ๐Ÿ˜…, others loved squishing and stretching their creations.

It was such a fun hands-on activity that encouraged teamwork, sensory exploration, and lots of laughter. We love seeing everyone try new things and enjoy time together โ€” even when it gets a little messy! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Our story

Coffs Harbour Support Services is a not-for-profit organisation established in 1993 by local families and community members. We are committed to building a Community in which people with disability are valued and contributing members and employ values-aligned, passionate, kind and respectful Support workers - compatible with your individual NDIS goals and personality.

We provide Supported Independent Living (SIL) services to clients in several homes across Coffs Harbour. We work with clients to explore what options are available and how we can assist our clients to live as independently as possible and to meet their goals.

Our Community Participation Program operates Monday to Friday and provides a range of activities such as: Photography and film making, Fishing club, Art and music therapies, Health and fitness, Sport and recreation, Specialist literacy and numeracy skills, Computer skills, โ€˜Fix itโ€™ club (in partnership with the Coffs Harbour Menโ€™s Shed), The Red Hots Band, Micro-Business program.
