What a great day out at Crusoe Reservoir! ☀️🎣

Last week, Jaxon headed out for some magnet fishing and had an absolute blast exploring, learning, and enjoying the outdoors. From spotting wildlife to pulling up some interesting finds, it was all about adventure, confidence, and having a go!

At You Matter Disability, we love creating opportunities like this where our clients can try new things, build skills, and most importantly—have fun.

Awesome work, Jaxon 👏 we can’t wait to see what your next adventure looks like!

⭐️ The Best Day Ever ⭐️

Some days remind us exactly why we do what we do.

Hudson recently had the opportunity of a lifetime - attending the Melbourne Victory game at AAMI Park with his Mum, his brother and support worker Sophie, thanks to the incredible Starlight Foundation.

And what a night it was ⚽️💙

Hudson entered through the corporate entrance, received his very own personalised Melbourne Victory shirt, and was given exclusive access to the back of house area.

But that was just the beginning…

He and his brother stood side by side as the players came out of the change rooms - high fiving them as they ran out to the field.

They were given the honour of presenting the referee with the official game ball at the start of the match.

Hudson was interviewed by Melbourne Victory staff, confidently sharing who he thought would win and how excited he was to be there - getting the whole crowd laughing in the process.

The Starlight Captains spent time playing with the boys, and watching the game alongside them, making the experience nothing short of magical.

To top it all off, Hudson went home with a silk Victory scarf and memories that will last a lifetime.

When asked about his evening, Hudson said it was “the best day ever”

And that right there is why community access matters. It’s why inclusive experiences matter.
It’s why we do what we do.

A heartfelt thank you to the Starlight Foundation and Melbourne Victory for creating such an unforgettable experience for Hudson and his family.

Moments like this build confidence, connection and pure joy - and we are so proud to be part of that journey.

Jaxon had an action packed day out metal detecting and magnet fishing with his incredible support workers, Sophie and Misty. ⭐️🧲💦

And check out Jaxon rocking his very own You Matter top, officially the coolest kid in town. 👍

🌊🏖️🕺 Sun, sand (well…pretend sand), and lots of smiles!
Peter and SW Josh went full beach-party mode at the Adventurebilities Beach Party Adventure Ball last night and had an absolute blast.
These two know how to have a good time!

We love seeing our participants out in the community, enjoying events that bring everyone together. 💛
Community participation is what it’s all about-connection, confidence, and loads of fun!

Sancia and her support worker Kenzie took stadium energy to the Woman’s cricket today. Renegade’s v’s Sixer’s.

The weather was showing off, the mascots were absolute icons, and Sancia’s cheering reached a level that probably startled a few professional athletes.
They laughed, they shouted, they met mascots…. honestly, we’re just glad they didn’t get recruited as the new hype team.
Days like this remind us why community participation is so important. Fun, connection, and unforgettable memories. 💙 What a day. 🤩🙌

Today our wonderful worker Claire took Nicky out to explore a brand new local cafe in Bendigo, Amici Della Farina and it did not disappoint.

They enjoyed some delicious food, supported a fantastic local business, and spent time out in the community building confidence and social skills. 😊

We love seeing our participants trying new places, making connections and having fun while working towards their goals.

Great job Claire, and well done Nicky! 💛

Took Pete out to Living Legends today and it honestly couldn’t have been a better day. ❤️ He finally got to meet his favourite racehorse, the one and only Apache Cat — and yes, the smile on his face said it all! We also got to say hello to Prince of Penzance, which was such a special moment.
There’s just something about being around horses… their calm presence, their gentle energy, the way they seem to understand more than we realise. They do wonders for our well-being — grounding us, lifting our spirits, and offering a kind of therapy you can’t find anywhere else.
So grateful for a day filled with fresh air, beautiful horses, and happy memories. 🐴✨

🐾 A Wildly Fun Day at Jirrahlinga! 🐾

Today we had the absolute best time at Jirrahlinga Dingo Conservation & Wildlife Education Centre! 🐕🦉

Our awesome participant Tatum got up close with some incredible Aussie animals - including a few cheeky dingoes who definitely stole the show. 💛

The highlight of the day was meeting (and getting to pat!) their absolute favourite animal - a koala! 🐨💕 Such a special moment and one they will remember for a long time.

We were super proud to see them step out of their comfort zone - bravely holding two lizard’s and even patting a snake. 🐍 What an amazing effort and a big confidence boost.

It’s days like these that remind us how special it is to connect with nature, learn something new, and most importantly…have fun together.

Big smiles, furry friends and unforgettable moments - what more could you ask for?
