October is National Safe Work Month—a reminder that every workplace should be safe, healthy and supportive for all.

In disability, this commitment is especially important. Support workers play a vital role in enabling independence and quality of life, and their safety and wellbeing must be a top priority.

Safe Work Australia provides valuable resources to help organisations identify risks, assess hazards and put strong safeguards in place.

The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission also offers practical guidance on the Code of Conduct and managing risks such as workplace aggression.

Starting a new chapter with Guardian Living is about more than moving into a home, it’s about becoming part of our community.

Our new-look welcome packs have just arrived, created to help tenants settle in with ease and feel supported every step of the way. Inside, they’ll find everything they need to navigate their new home, connect with our team and know that help is always close at hand. Plus, there's a few gifts to mark the occasion!

It’s a small gesture, but one that reflects something bigger: our commitment to making every tenant feel valued, informed and truly at home. 🏡✨

We are so excited about this!

🏠 Big news from Swan Hill!

🔎After years of searching for the perfect housing solution, three participants that we support have found the perfect site to build their brand-new home that's been designed just for them.

We've partnered with Guardian Living Australia to create something amazing – a purpose-built home where Guardian Living worked closely with participants, their families, support coordinators and occupational therapists to ensure the home met the needs and preferences of each resident.

The house scheduled to be built by the end of the year, and the excitement is already building!

💬 "The participants can't wait," says our House Supervisor Amy Alexander.
💬 "I'm so excited, is it time to move in yet?" one participant celebrated.
💬 Amy adds that "She is also very excited to have her family come and visit the new house."

Here's to new beginnings, family visits, and proving that home really is where the heart is 🧡

Our High Physical Support SDA apartments in Maribyrnong combine thoughtful design with everyday convenience: open-plan layouts, assistive technology, private balconies, two-hour backup power and on-site support. All just steps from shops, transport and community amenities.

For Recep, one of our tenants, the location is everything:

"Everything I need is within walking distance — trams, buses, Highpoint Shopping Centre, and amazing parks by the river."

His home has also given him the confidence to build new skills and independence:

“It’s made me stronger because now I can be more independent. I feel better about myself. I’ve learnt how to cook and take care of myself—things my mum used to do for me. That feels really good.”

For us, the real success isn’t just in the design—it’s in stories like Recep’s, where the right home unlocks a life full of possibility.

This NAIDOC Week, we honour the theme The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, celebrating 50 years of recognising and elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, cultures and resilience.

At Guardian Living, we are committed to creating inclusive communities that respect identity, enable dignity and foster a sense of belonging. As we work to provide housing that empowers people with disability, we draw inspiration from the resilience and leadership of First Nations communities who have long exemplified care for Country and for each other.

NAIDOC Week is a time to listen, learn and reflect. But it’s also a reminder that allyship should extend beyond this week and through everyday actions, partnerships and decisions that support truth-telling and self-determination.
