'The most enjoyable part of working in the disability sector is knowing I can make a positive difference in people’s lives by supporting them to live with dignity, independence and joy.

A memorable moment this year was taking a participant to visit his family in Melbourne. Watching him reconnect with his loved ones
was incredibly moving. Being part of such an important journey reminds me how meaningful our role is in supporting not just daily needs, but also emotional and cultural wellbeing.

I enjoy forming genuine bonds with participants and getting to know their personalities, interests and stories. It is incredibly rewarding
to make a positive difference in people’s lives every day.'

– Saugat, Independent Living Coordinator

'I love to empower people to thrive and live a fulfilling life. Seeing a participant smile because of something I have helped with makes every day worthwhile.

When I see the joy on a participant’s face, or when they call me ‘sister’, I know I am doing something valuable. Small acts of support can make a big difference in confidence and connection.

I have learnt so much from the participants I support in the Pathways Program. Everyone is different and everyone has their own capability. I feel lucky to work and support people with a disability.'

– Alem, Skill Development Coach (Support Worker, Pathways Program)
