Today we celebrated the opening of our fifth social enterprise cafe that provides paid employment to people with disability 🎉

Our expansion into the Mont Albert/Box Hill community is an exciting step, and we're very much looking forward to being involved with the Hamilton St traders.

A big thank you to Whitehorse City Council for their partnership, passion, and support, and to the incredible Mont Albert community for such a warm welcome!

Congratulations to our My Life My Future participants who have started volunteering at the Epilepsy Foundation Op Shop in Kilsyth!
The Epilepsy Foundation operates op shops across 12 Melbourne suburbs, creating vibrant and friendly community hubs where staff, volunteers, and customers come together to support people living with epilepsy.

This partnership provides skill-building opportunities, community connection, and a strong sense of purpose.
We’ve been incredibly proud of everyone’s enthusiasm and commitment. Here’s to new experiences, new connections, and making a difference together!

After more than 50 years with cape solutions east, Sue has officially stepped into a new chapter.

Sue was one of our longest serving supported employees and in 2024 she was made a Life Member in recognition of her extraordinary contribution to our community. Now, in retirement, she is spending her time doing what she loves most including painting, one of her personal goals and passions.

For Sue, this is the beautiful shift from work to play. A chance to slow down, explore her creativity and enjoy the things that bring her joy.

At cape, we believe everyone deserves the chance to live a life filled with purpose, choice and possibility. Whether that is through work, learning, creativity or community, goals do not stop when one chapter ends.

If you or someone you support has a goal you would love to work towards, we would love to hear from you.

Congratulations Sue. We cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings 🎨

This year we transformed our Annual General Meeting into an engaging showcase focused on community connection and impact, and called it cape day!

Given that it was our first-ever, cape day was a huge success with a fantastic turnout, and we’re really looking forward to building on its energy.

Thank you to everyone who came down to celebrate our purpose, vision, values, and, most importantly, the people we support.

🤩🥳

Andrew and Anthony had an exciting time catching Tim’s band, The Halves, live in Preston.

From rocking out near the front of the stage to meeting the band members, they soaked up every moment of the experience. Tim even gave them a special shout-out during the show, which made the night extra memorable!

They got a real taste of band life—checking out the merch, chatting with the crew, and feeling the energy of the crowd.
