OC Connections

An engaged, person-centred, specialised support provider for people living with disability.

We have different supports that can help you find a home, live well in your home, achieve your goals, enjoy different activities, and spend time with new people and old friends. These supports are called My Home, My Days, My Work or My Support Coordination, and you can choose one of them or all – it’s up to you. We can help you and the people important to you understand what the NDIS is about, and how it might affect your options. If you are not a part of the NDIS, talk to us about how to use our services and support.

Andy’s Solo Travel Story!
Andy’s story is a reminder of what’s possible when support is built around the person.

With guidance from our OC Connections team at French Street, Andy planned and completed two solo trips across NSW. From mapping out travel to finding affordable places to stay, the focus was on building confidence and independence.

Andy loved the experience and proudly shared these photos from his journey. By sharing his story, Andy hopes to inspire others to take brave steps toward their own goals.

A fresh start. The same heart.

As the year comes to a close, many people are taking time to pause, reflect, or simply move gently into what’s next.

However this season looks for you — whether it’s busy, quiet, hopeful, challenging, or somewhere in between — we want to say thank you.

Thank you to our participants, families, staff, partners and supporters for being part of the OC Connections community this year. Every connection, effort and shared moment has helped shape the impact we’ve made together.

We know this time of year can mean different things to different people. Wherever you are right now, please know you are valued, you belong, and you are not alone.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to inclusion, respect, and supporting people in ways that honour choice, dignity and individuality.

Wishing you kindness, support and hope for the year ahead — in whatever way that feels right for you.

Recently we came together with our teams at ermha365, Marriott Support Services and OC Connections Enterprises to wrap up our 2025 Employee Excellence Awards. Our celebrations with these three businesses were phenomenal, recognising tenure, outstanding achievements in professional development, and awarding prestigious leadership nominated ‘Excellence Award’ winners.

Across these three Victorian Employee Excellence Award events we proudly recognised a combined total of seventy-two employees for their years of service, including:

- 39 employees who reached 5 years of service,
- 15 employees who marked 10 years of service,
- 9 employees who celebrated 15 years of service,
- 6 employees who achieved 20 years of service,
- 1 employees who reached 30 years of service, and
- 2 remarkable individuals who celebrated an incredible 40 years of service.

Fourteen individuals were celebrated for outstanding achievements through our Excellence Awards. What an honour it is to pay tribute to those who consistently achieve above and beyond, those that others look up to, those who always perform and behave in a manner of an exceptional standard.

As the final chapter of our 2025 celebrations, these events across our Victorian footprint highlight the strength of our workforce and the shared values that connect our Group - The Disability Trust, ermha365, OC Connections and Marriott Support Services. We are incredibly proud of our people and the extraordinary impact they make every day.
