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.

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.

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.
