For Behaviour Support Practitioner Darcy, one of the best parts of working at Ability Action Australia is how we share resources across the team. These Uno-style cards were passed along by a colleague and have become a great tool for helping paediatric participants explore their emotions using characters they already know and love.

If you would like to join a team that values teamwork, ideas and shared purpose, we have opportunities across the country for all proficiencies. Check our vacancies here https://buff.ly/WBHHkDf

That's a wrap on our National Roadshow!
Over the past few months, our leadership team hit the road visiting local teams and absolutely loved every stop. From Canberra to Perth (and every stop in between), a big thanks to everyone who made time for a chat, celebrate a win or just came along to say hi.

Each stop on the Roadshow was a chance to engage with local teams, hear on-the-ground feedback and shape what’s coming next for us.
