The holiday season can bring a lot of change.

For many people with disability and their families, December and January can mean disrupted routines, closed services, quieter days, or an overwhelming social calendar. Support needs don’t pause just because the year is ending.

At Opendoor, we work alongside NDIS participants and carers to make sure supports continue to feel steady, flexible and right for the individual during the holiday period. That might look like planning ahead, adjusting schedules, or simply knowing who to reach out to when things feel unsettled.

Support should meet you where you are, especially at this time of year.

Recent events in Sydney have touched people right across Australia and beyond. In times of shock and loss, it becomes especially important to acknowledge the weight of what has happened and the impact it has on many individuals, families and communities. People will respond in different ways, and that diversity of experience deserves care and understanding.

Kindness, in how we speak, how we behave and how we show regard for others, matters now more than ever. Shared empathy, patience and steady support help create space for connection and healing, even when circumstances are difficult or complex. These values guide how we move through challenging periods and how we support one another with respect.

May kindness continue to shape how we interact and how we contribute to the collective journey forward.

Today we recognise Human Rights Day and the essential role human rights play in shaping safe, fair and inclusive communities.

At Opendoor, our work is built on the belief that every person deserves dignity, opportunity and the freedom to make choices about their own life. Whether it is supporting people with disability through the NDIS, helping young people take their next steps, or guiding jobseekers toward meaningful work, human rights are at the heart of what we do.

Human rights show up in everyday moments. The right to feel safe. The right to be included. The right to access education, work and community. The right to be treated with respect. These are the foundations that allow people to grow, participate and belong.

Today is a reminder that inclusion is a shared responsibility. By removing barriers, challenging inequality and standing up for fairness, we help create a society where everyone has the chance to thrive.

We remain committed to playing our part in building communities that uphold dignity, respect and opportunity for all.

Opendoor is proud to support the Mooroolbark Community Garden through our Work for the Dole program, with participants contributing to the development of the garden and creating new features for the whole community to enjoy.

The garden is becoming a vibrant, inclusive space where people can connect, share knowledge and build a stronger sense of belonging. It will offer locally grown, sustainable produce and opportunities for people of all ages, cultures and abilities to learn, participate and spend time in nature.

We were recently mentioned on air by Tracey Langridge, President of the Mooroolbark Community Garden, who spoke about the project and highlighted Opendoor’s contribution. You can listen to the segment here: https://www.3cr.org.au/localfoodconnections

A big thank you to the Mooroolbark Community Committee members, Glen Park Community Centre (especially Steve for the furniture created with participants), our staff who supported referrals, Third Space Studio for the promotional video and the local suppliers involved.

We’re still reliving the energy of this year’s Pasefika Career Expo. Watching these moments back reminds us just how special the night was – a powerful blend of culture, connection and opportunity for young people and families across our community.

From the performances and conversations to the pathways created with our exhibitors and partners, the event showed what’s possible when community, employers and culture come together.

Thank you again to everyone who attended, supported and contributed. The impact continues long after the night is over.

Today we recognise International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

At Opendoor, inclusion means more than access. It means ensuring people have real choice, genuine control and the support they need to live the life they want. Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme we work alongside people with disability to pursue their goals, strengthen independence and stay connected to community.

Inclusion is not optional. It is essential. Today we reaffirm our commitment to celebrating diversity, removing barriers and creating a society where everyone belongs.

What an incredible evening of culture, community and connection at last night’s Pasefika Career Expo.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and those that helped make it happen. The energy in the room was powerful, from the cultural performances to the conversations happening at every booth. It was a true celebration of opportunity and the strength of our Pasefika communities.

A huge thank you to our partners, exhibitors, speakers and community groups for showing up with so much heart. Your support created real pathways for young people, jobseekers and families exploring their next steps.

A big thank you to our major supporters Hume City Council, Hume Youth Services and Northwestern Local Jobs for helping bring this event together.

We also thank local MP Anasina Gray-Barberio for her support and presence, and Melbourne Storm for their ongoing support and inspiration throughout the event.

Events like this remind us why these spaces matter. When community, employers and culture come together, doors open.
