Julie and Jane are down at the ANZ Neurodiversity Marketplace at the ANZ building in Melbourne Docklands today. Such an AMAZING opportunity and so encouraging of ANZ to support their staff each year to access neurodivergent resources (and hosting primarily neurodivergent led businesses).
Pop in and say hi if you’re in the area 👋🏼

We have had the absolute delight of hosting the hard working Abby from Norwood Secondary College for her Work Experience this week. She has been able to participate in many aspects of our daily lives here in our warehouse and office such as packing orders, packaging products, re-socking products on the shelves, social media, learning about the behind the scenes of running a business and all the steps that are taken from receiving orders to dispatching them and the not so exciting task of helping us with our Stocktake today. Jane was especially excited as both Abby and herself are Swifties ;)

PD: Jane, adult with dark hair stands side on to Abby, teenager with blonde hair. They are standing side on to the camera, facing a packing bench with sunlight coming through the blinds. Abby is wearing a Taylor Swift, The Tortured Poet's Department grey coloured cardigan. On the packing bench there are multiple soft toys in plastic zip lock bags and Jane and Abby are packaging up the animals for an order. Both are smiling (obviously smiling with delight that boss lady, Julie is taking a photo of them doing this!).

After a sensory overwhelming day at school, many children find comfort in using our Sensory Matters Lycra Bed sheets to calm down for sleep at night. This can help them feel regulated to take on the next day!

Finding comfortable clothes can be an arduous task for some neurodivergent people, but sensory-friendly clothes help make fashion accessible.

Just a quick heads-up that Julie has taken a little detour from her desk to hit the pavement in the New York City Marathon. 🗽
While she’s been out chasing the dream, the rest of our team will still be hard at work getting your orders out the door over the next couple of weeks!

In this candid snapshot from one of our past photoshoots, we admire the impressive multitasking skills of these two women, Sarah from Sarah Hicks Photography, Eastern Suburbs Melbourne "Starmaking" and Julie our Sensory Matters Founder. While capturing Sensory Matters product shots, Sarah seamlessly blended her work with the presence of her 8-week-old baby, Brodie. The photoshoot had its gorgeous interruptions courtesy of the little one, but we rolled with it, showcasing the flexibility and multitasking required of working Mums with bubs!
