Recognising abilities rather than disabilities is essential for fostering an inclusive society that values diversity and promotes equality!! ✨

By doing do, we encourage individuals to reach their full potential, which can lead to greater self-esteem and empowerment. This shift in perspective gives an opportunity to individuals with disabilities to showcase their abilities.

Many organisations acknowledge that individuals with disabilities bring unique perspectives and skills that can significantly enhance team dynamics, creativity, and problem-solving skills. These individuals can effectively showcase their abilities, dedication, and passion by engaging in community service, employment, or volunteer opportunities. This involvement not only provides them with valuable experience but also facilitates networking and connections with others who share similar interests.

By emphasising inclusion, individuals with disabilities can effectively create meaningful contributions to society 💪💖

At GV All Abilities Care, we believe that strong support starts at home.❤️

Parents and families play a vital role in the care and development of our participants. That’s why we actively involve them in their loved one’s journey—whether it’s through open communication, regular updates, or working together to create the best support strategies.

By collaborating with parents, we ensure that our participants receive consistent care, guidance, and encouragement both during our supports and beyond. Because when we work together, we empower individuals to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.

Stronger support starts with family.💙

🌟 Meet Matt 🌟

Matt is a passionate and talented individual, recently turned 36, with a love for his beautiful partner, two children, and a third on the way! As a musician and drummer for the heavy ambient alt-rock band *Terrestrials*—where he’s played for 17 years—Matt’s love for music runs deep. When he's not jamming, you'll find him enjoying footy (as a proud Richmond supporter), camping, fishing, or engaging in nearly every board sport, from surfing and skating to wakeboarding and snowboarding. Cars and motorbikes also play a big role in his adventurous lifestyle.

**Where Matt Sees Himself in 10 Years**

In the next decade, Matt dreams of owning a large property filled with animals, fun outdoor activities, and accommodation for the public and clients to use as respite and for outdoor education. His vision is to create a space where people can come to learn how to fish, camp, engage in water sports, ride, and, of course, play with animals!

**Matt’s Favorite Thing About His Work**

Matt finds immense joy in the progress his clients make. Helping to improve their livelihood is what drives him in this field—knowing that he is making a tangible, positive difference in their lives.
