Take a load off. It’s International Day of People with Disabilities today! Whether you live with a visible disability such as blindness or cerebral palsy, or an invisible disability such as anxiety or chronic fatigue, let’s come together to celebrate in style!

I’m Tess Herbert. I am totally blind and live with autism, and I’ve been receiving NDIS supports for more than six years.

I know how frustrating it is to be matched with a support worker who doesn’t understand what I need, cancels regularly, or just isn’t the right fit for me.

This is why I’m proud to work for Empowered.

• We take the time to get to know our participants, what they need and want, and the qualities they’re looking for in support workers. We then find the people that are the best match for them, and if it doesn’t work out, we match them with another worker.

• Our support workers are reliable, committed and passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals.

• Our participants are our bosses, and we are lead by them.

• We provide specialised training for all staff in disability and cultural awareness, choice and control and supporting independence.

• We are a company run by and for people with disabilities.

If you would like to find out how we can assist you to achieve your goals and live the life you choose, you can send us a message on Facebook, or email tess@empdss.com
