Spotless Spaces, Happy Faces! ✨

Take a look behind the scenes! Our Cleaning Crew just wrapped up a full end-of-lease clean for a 500m² office in Dandenong and the client couldn’t be happier with the results.

Check out our team in action using our powerful (and planet-friendly!) eWater system non-toxic, biodegradable, and tough on mess, without leaving any harmful chemicals behind. Sparkling carpets and polished entrance, it’s all part of our commitment to cleaner, healthier workspaces! 💧✨

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Belinda & Aaliyah 🌟

We’re proud to shine a light on two incredible team members at The Bridge. Belinda, our Your Supports and Getaways Service Coordinator, and Aaliyah, one of our dedicated Support Workers.

Aaliyah recently supported several clients on a memorable Getaways trip to Darwin. Her journey with The Bridge began as a student, and she has since flourished into a part of our regular team, providing meaningful experiences and encouragement every step of the way. 💚

Belinda is one of the driving forces behind our Your Supports and Getaways programs. Her passion for creating inclusive, life-enriching activities inspires not only our clients, but also her colleagues. Her commitment and leadership make a positive impact on everyone around her.

We’re so grateful to Belinda, Aaliyah, and our entire team for their compassion and dedication. It’s your support that truly empowers people to live connected, fulfilling lives. Thank you for making a difference each and every day. 🙌

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week! 🌻

Did you know that up to 85% of people with disability live with conditions that aren’t immediately visible? These can include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions.

At The Bridge, we champion understanding and empathy, so everyone feels welcomed and supported in our community.

Look out for the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, a global symbol that signals a need for extra understanding.

💛 Let’s keep our eyes and hearts open this Invisible Disabilities Week!

National Carers Week 💙🌿🙌

This week marks National Carers Week, a dedicated time to honour and celebrate the 3 million Australians who care for a loved one.

The 2025 theme, “You are, know, or will be one,” reminds us that caring touches all our lives. Research shows that when carers have strong support, their wellbeing thrives. That’s why it’s so important to reach out. 🫶

Here are some simple ways you can support a carer today:

✔️ Check in and have a chat
✔️ Offer a well-deserved break
✔️ Show gratitude and appreciation
✔️ Connect them with helpful resources
✔️ Encourage time for self-care

To all the carers in The Bridge community: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re inspired by your unwavering care every single day. 💖 Thank you for making a difference.
