Meet William!

William has been working at a bowling club three days a week. For years, he relied on public transport to get to work, but he always had a dream—getting his driver’s license. When he first applied for the NDIS five years ago, he set this goal without thinking too much about it, believing it was out of reach. But with determination and the right support, William turned his dream into reality.

William’s main goal in his NDIS plan was clear: obtaining his driver’s license. He knew this would open up new opportunities and give him greater independence. While public transport was an option, being able to drive himself would make life significantly easier.

The road to success wasn’t always smooth. William initially worked with his support worker, who played a crucial role in guiding him through the first steps. She assisted him in obtaining his learner’s permit and helped him find suitable driving lessons. This was a significant milestone, but the journey didn’t stop there.

When it came time for his driving test, he faced some setbacks—he didn’t pass on his first attempt. With the help of his recovery coach, Tammy, William found a platform that offered free driving lessons. With persistence and the right support, he finally passed his test and achieved his goal!

William’s life has transformed since getting his driver’s license. He can now attend appointments more easily, has gained a greater sense of independence, and has even purchased his own car. Having the freedom to drive has opened up new opportunities and made daily life much more convenient.
“If I need to go anywhere, I can just go! It’s made such a big difference,” says William.

What’s Next?
Now that he has his license, William is looking forward to attending more football games to support his team The Hawks!

His advice to others on their NDIS journey?
“Stick with it. If it doesn’t work out straight away, give it another shot.”

Every day, 9 Australians tragically lose their lives to su***de—a heartbreaking reality that leaves an indelible impact on countless families and communities.
This year, MHCS is taking a stand with a bold challenge: walking 9 kilometres every day for 30 days, from 16th September to 16th of October 16th, to honour each life lost.

Our goal is to raise awareness, give a voice to those who feel unheard, and break the stigma surrounding mental health. Together, we can spark important conversations and provide support where it’s needed most.

We’re also aiming to raise $2,000 to support RUN for Mental Health, which funds essential research, prevention, and management solutions.
