From a rundown shed to a heart-filled space 🏠

For years, a small group of residents in Ferntree Gully gathered in an old garden shed to escape isolation and to find friendship. Despite the poor state of the shed, it became a sanctuary. But it needed a makeover.

We’re proud that our Workforce Australia Work for the Dole team stepped in to help. By transforming the garden shed into a multifunctional community hub, we’ve helped ensure that residents have a safe and warm space to cook, learn, and laugh together.

Brad Byrne, Job Coordinator at Workforce Australia, noted that "None of these successes would have been possible without the hard work, collaboration and community-minded approach that Opendoor's Granville, Ashlee and their teams prioritise when developing each activity.”. We couldn’t agree more.

We are incredibly proud of our social enterprise, Cleanable, and the vital role it plays in our mission to create a more inclusive community.

Cleanable provides sustainable, paid employment for individuals who have traditionally faced barriers to finding work. It helps them benefit from greater independence, a boost to their wellbeing, and a vital link to the community.

Together, we’re proud to see the real-world impact of this work across our communities:

✔️Empowering careers: By providing thousands of hours of paid employment at award wages, Cleanable helps team members reach their personal and professional goals.

✔️ Building inclusivity: Through purposeful partnerships with businesses and governments, we are creating an environment where everyone has the chance to thrive.

✔️Caring for our environment: Beyond employment, Cleanable teams are dedicated to the health of our planet, removing tens of thousands of kilograms of litter from the greenspaces and waterways we all share.

When you choose Cleanable for your property maintenance, you aren’t just getting high-quality service. You’re choosing to put people and the planet first.

We were honoured to attend the Health and Wellbeing Expo yesterday (7 April), which was hosted by Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place (MMIGP) and Oonah Allied Health at the Maroondah Federation Estate.

The expo was a fantastic opportunity to promote our employment services, indigenous engagement initiatives, and allied health services alongside partners like Hearing Australia, EACH, and BreastScreen Victoria.

Opendoor has proudly worked alongside Mullum Mullum for over four years – from volunteering at the Food Pantry to collaborating on Work for the Dole projects. We’re also looking forward to strengthening our partnership with Oonah to further support the indigenous communities we both serve.

A huge thank you to the organisers for inviting us (and for the amazing paella!).

NDIS support that fits your life, not the other way around 🧭

From mastering daily life skills at home to building the confidence to navigate your local community, Opendoor’s NDIS supports are tailored to what matters most to you. Want to learn to use public transport independently? Or maybe you’re looking for support that helps you transition into group activities at your own pace?

We believe that disability should never be a barrier to living a full, connected life. Our friendly team is here to listen, plan, and support you as you reach those milestones.

Let’s navigate the way together: https://opendoor.org.au/ndis/

Socialising and skills building with fruitful results 🥕🍎🥬

Our Gardening Program at the Braybrook Community Gardens is a weekly group designed to support NDIS participants to get out and about, connect with others, and build independence in a welcoming community space.

Our highly trained support workers provide personalised support to small groups of participants so that they have the confidence to build friendships, socialise, and feel like they belong. More than just gardening, this program encourages participants to enjoy the relaxation and mindfulness that comes from being outdoors, while learning practical horticulture skills. 🌻

Best of all, participants reap the rewards of their work; whether that’s taking home fresh produce, sharing it with others, or contributing to the local community. 🤩

It’s a hands-on, feel-good program that supports wellbeing, routine, and meaningful social connection. Learn more 👉 https://opendoor.org.au/social-options/
