Totally what we as SW should be aiming to do!

💭 I’m dreaming of the day I see an ad for a support worker or service provider with a tagline like: "We're your worker, not your paid friend; and we work to help you make real friends."

🚫 No photos of one obviously disabled person with one worker out for freakin’ coffee on their website or socials.

🌟 Reviews showcase success stories like "I'm now membership officer of my local beekeeping society thanks to my worker's help."

🎉 Another review: "Met my Fiance at pub choir, all thanks to my worker's support."

🍔 And maybe: "I’m hosting a monthly neighborhood BBQ with new friends from my street, thanks to my worker's assistance."

💭 Sigh. Dreaming dreaming dreaming.

Happy to share my cousins story. NDIS made such a difference to her life. Amazing couple.

In recognition of Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing Gill and Alan's story 💖

Queensland participant, Gill, partly credits the survival of her 42-year marriage to the support she receives from the NDIS.

“The first time I went out with a NDIS support worker was the first time I left home without my husband since I was married. It changed my life.” - Gill

Gill’s husband is part of the growing number of families and carers who feel more confident about the future of their family since the NDIS. This figure has increased by 80% (for participants who have been on the NDIS for five years).
