Nat recently attended a Mother’s Day candle-making event with 121 Supports Hunter, and it marked a really positive step forward in working toward her NDIS goals 🌸

One of Nat’s goals is to be supported to access her community, and this event provided the perfect opportunity. By attending, she was able to get out into a welcoming, inclusive space where she could comfortably engage with others and feel part of something beyond her usual routine. Experiences like this are helping her build confidence in community settings and develop a sense of belonging.

Nat also has a strong goal of building friendships and relationships, and this event created a natural and relaxed environment for connection. Through shared activities and conversations, she was able to engage with others who had similar interests, taking meaningful steps toward forming new social connections.

With her love for creativity, Nat fully embraced the candle-making activity, expressing herself while also bonding with others over the experience. This combination of creativity and social interaction made the day both enjoyable and purposeful.

Following such a positive experience, Nat has shown great motivation to attend more events, and it’s been wonderful to see these activities - including this one - become part of her regular weekly outings. This consistency is playing a key role in helping Nat build confidence, strengthen her social skills, and create ongoing opportunities to connect with others.

She is also exploring ways to increase her supports so she can continue accessing these opportunities. It’s been fantastic to see her confidence grow as she steps outside her comfort zone and builds independence in social and community settings.

We’re really proud to support Nat as she continues working toward her goals - accessing her community more regularly, building meaningful friendships, and developing strong, lasting relationships.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to see her continue to grow and shine. 💙💚🧡

Support Workers come in all shapes, sizes, personalities, and life experiences. And that’s exactly how it should be!

At Activated Concepts, we understand that quality support isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about finding the right person who aligns with you. Your preferences, your goals, your communication style, and what helps you feel comfortable, respected, and supported in your day-to-day life is how support should be provided.

We work with open and transparent communication at every step. That means we’ll keep you informed, listen to your feedback, and collaborate with you to make sure your supports are working well for you.

If we don’t have the right fit available right now, that’s okay, we will continue to work with you to find the specific Support Worker who best meets your needs. Your voice matters in this process, and we are committed to getting the match right, not just making a match.

Whether you’re looking for someone with a calm and steady approach, high energy and motivation, shared interests, or specific skills, we’re here to match you with the right Support Worker for your unique needs.
Because great support starts with the right connection 💙🧡💚

Peter has been working towards his goal of maintaining his safety and independence at home and in the community - and it’s been great to see his progress 🌿

Living with vertigo can sometimes impact Peter’s confidence to leave the house, but with the support of his support worker Declan, he’s been gradually building his independence and getting back out into the community.

Lately, they’ve been exploring different parts of Newcastle together, enjoying bush and trail walks when the weather allows. These outings not only support Peter to stay active, but also help him build confidence in navigating the community safely at his own pace.

It’s been fantastic to see Peter trying new things, challenging himself, and continuing to grow in confidence while working towards his goal of staying safe and independent 💪

At Activated Concepts, we are committed to supporting individuals to work towards their goals in a way that is safe, person-centred, and tailored to their individual needs. 💙💚🧡
