This year at Crosslinks, things got seriously sweet...We hosted our Gingerbread House Competition!

Each of our SIL houses got their very own mega gingerbread mansion to decorate, whilst individual participants could also got their hands sticky, with adorable mini builds in our festive gingerbread workshop.

🏆 Drumroll, please! A massive congrats to Bassendean and Rivervale SIL Houses, and individual champs Karina and James, your creations were absolute crumb-believable!

We announced the winners at our annual Pizza Party, because nothing says “festive season” like gingerbread followed by three slices of margherita.

Swipe to see the icing masterpieces... and don’t worry, no gingerbread people were harmed in the making of this competition.

Caversham Community Centre was bursting with smiles, laughter and… 80+ incredible humans all coming together to celebrate the Annual Crosslinks Pizza Party!

There were slices flying, tunes pumping, and even a cheeky ice cream van that rolled up just in time for dessert. 🍕

But here’s the real magic: seeing participants, families, carers and staff all in one place, connecting, celebrating, and being part of something special.

Because at Crosslinks, we don’t just do support, we do community. And if it comes with double cheese and a choc top? Even better.

Until next time, party people.

After years of bringing wisdom and warmth to our boardroom… we’ve officially farewelled the fabulous Kaye Donec. 💐

With three decades of experience as a physiotherapist and the deeply personal perspective of a mum whose adult child is supported through Crosslinks, Kaye helped guide us in the most human way possible. She reminded us that real inclusion means keeping participants and their loved ones at the heart of every decision we make. 💛

Whether it was championing the voices of families, carers or participants, Kaye’s superpower has been making sure real people were always at the centre of every Crosslinks conversation. She kept us grounded, focused and always inclusive. 🙌

Kaye, thank you for your unwavering dedication. You’ve made a difference that will be felt for years to come. 🌟

Tinsel? Check.
Christmas carols? Blasting.
Sparkly baubles? Absolutely everywhere.

Our Bassendean SIL crew turned into a team of festive interior decorators last night, transforming the house into a full-blown Christmas wonderland. It was glitter, giggles, and good vibes all the way.

Even Mariah Carey made an appearance (well, vocally).

Want to join the fun? We’ve got a few sleigh-ready vacancies in our supported homes! Let’s make this season merry and meaningful – together.

🎁 Drop us a message to find out more – but be warned… our homes come fully stocked with joy, laughter, and maybe the occasional rogue ornament under the couch.

Big hair, bold moves, and even bolder 80s fashion, Crosslinks hit the streets for !

With leg warmers on point and our 'Stand by Me' club mix on blast, we danced our hearts out alongside 6,000+ legends. It was like the best kind of flashback… only with more glitter.

But we didn’t just show up to strut, we showed up to stand (and shimmy) with the people we support, our rockstar team, and the incredible service providers we call friends. Rise, Anglicare WA, Pride WA.

Because at Crosslinks, support means belonging, community, and looking fabulous while doing it.

P.S. If anyone found our glitter trail… we’re not sorry.

Today, on International Day of People with Disability - Australia, we honour the strength and vibrant individuality of every person in our Crosslinks community.

At Crosslinks, extraordinary happens here, in the quiet milestones, the loud laughter, the brave first steps toward independence, and the deep connections that change lives.

Together, we’re building a world where everyone belongs.

Monday Mornings + A Quiet Cup = Space to Dream

For many of the families and individuals we support, Mondays don’t just mean emails and errands. They can mean emotional juggling, managing routines, and wondering what the future holds.

But this moment? This quiet cup? It’s yours.

At Crosslinks, we believe in creating moments like this – and turning them into something more. Into new opportunities. Into connection. Into a future that feels brighter, supported and full of possibility.

From helping parents feel hopeful about their child’s independence, to creating joy-filled community experiences for adults too, we’re not just ticking boxes. We’re walking beside you – every step, every sip, every Monday (and every other day)..

Let’s make this the week you take the next step.

Some days just have everything, food trucks, famous faces, and a plane or two zooming overhead. 😎

Crosslinks House Tenants strolled into Burswood to celebrate WA Day in true Crosslinks style:

*A buffet of food truck deliciousness (yes, decisions were made, regrets were none)
*Ryan and Drew becoming celebs for a hot minute with Angela Tsun from Channel 7
*Bertie Beetle showbags
*Exhibit wandering (fueled by chips and joy)
*And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better... ✈️ Plane spotting down by the airport, because we like our adventures with a side of whoosh!

Just another day turning moments into memories. And yes, we’re still dreaming about those doughnuts.

What do BBQs and Christmas lights have in common?

They both shine brighter when shared with friends.

This November and December, Crosslinks is turning up the heat (literally!) with inclusive BBQs, sparkling Christmas light adventures, and festive fun for everyone.

There’ll be sausages, smiles, fairy lights, and feel-good vibes to light up your night and warm your heart.

It’s more than an event, it’s a celebration of connection, joy and community. And YOU are invited.

When it comes to Supported Independent Living (SIL), the difference between “it’ll do” and “this feels right” can be life-changing.

That’s why we’ve created our Dream Accommodation Checklist – a practical, thoughtful tool to help individuals, families, and support coordinators find the kind of home that offers more than a roof. We’re talking about:

*The right location
*Housemates who click
*Support that makes daily life easier
*And the kind of space where people can truly be themselves

At Crosslinks, we match the home around the person, not the other way around. If the perfect fit hasn’t shown up in the listings, let’s explore what’s possible.

Read the checklist here 👉 https://www.crosslinks.org.au/find-your-dream-disability-accommodation/
Or reach out to SIL@crosslinks.org.au
– we’re ready when you are.
