When we asked our Fabulous Practice Manager, Teak Richardson - What do you love about working at Independent Kids & Adults?

"Supporting others to thrive - whether it’s our clients or my colleagues - is what drives me. I find real meaning in creating a workplace culture where people feel valued, heard, and empowered to be their best selves.

I feel privileged to be part of an organisation that places such a high value on inclusiveness, diversity, and community impact. Every day, I’m inspired by the passionate and creative team I work alongside, and I take great pride in contributing to the positive changes we help bring to the lives of individuals and families."

Today we asked Matt Dent, one of our Fabulous Behaviour Support Practitioners - What is it you love about working at Independent Kids & Adults?

"I love to see positive change in participants I work with – to see improvements in quality of life, confidence, opportunity & identity that makes them an active participant in our community.

Today, our team came together on Country to mark the beginning of Reconciliation Week with a powerful smoking ceremony and learning twining.

As the smoke rose, we reflected on our shared journey—walking together, learning from one another, and honouring the deep cultural roots of this land we call home. The twining reminded us how our diverse strengths and stories are woven into the care we provide every day.

We’re proud to live and work in beautiful lutruwita/Tasmania, and we stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—this week and always. 🤝

National Sorry Day

May 26th 2025 - We remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.

National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all share in the healing process.
