Staff Recognition – November Spotlight on Michael!

Coming home after hospital can be a big step. For one of our participants, it was a moment filled with uncertainty, but with Michael’s support, it became a story of confidence, community, and new beginnings.

From understanding discharge plans to rebuilding daily routines, Michael’s care went beyond the practical. He helped the client reconnect with life outside the hospital with beach walks, park visits, even small errands that brought back joy and independence.
His calm presence, empathy, and humour made recovery feel safe and achievable again.

Michael, thank you for showing what true person-centred care looks like; where belonging and healing go hand in hand.

Help us celebrate Michael in the comments below! 👏

It’s not easy letting someone new into your life; especially when you’ve had to start over again and again.

When Darryl joined Chosen Family, he told us what mattered most: finding support that didn’t feel like starting from scratch.

“The people they sent made that whole transition so easy.”

That’s what being in your corner really looks like. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about listening, understanding, and walking beside you every step of the way.

Because belonging isn’t a tagline for us. It’s something we live, every day, with every person we support.

Watch Darryl share his story of finding ease, trust, and connection with Chosen Family.

What a day! Passion in Action was absolutely buzzing with connection, creativity, and purpose.

We met so many incredible people who are making a real difference in their communities. The energy, ideas, and heart in that space reminded us why we do what we do; to celebrate individuality and co-create supports that make everyone feel seen and valued.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, share a story, or just share a smile

Please join us in celebrating Montell! Our Employee of the Month!

A client shared that Montell is caring, encouraging, and always makes them feel comfortable.

“He transports me to the places that I need to go and encourages me to seek what I want.”

It’s not just about transport or tasks, it’s about being seen, heard, and supported with genuine care.

Montell, thank you for showing what heart-led support looks like every day.

You’re a grace grower 🌱

Sometimes the rejection we face as q***r people, as people with disabilities, is really someone else’s unhealed story being projected onto us.

We believe that bitterness and shame don’t build belonging. Healing and forgiveness do. By living authentically, you’re planting seeds of grace that help communities grow.

A throwback to when Traidy shared this on the Able+ Podcast; a reminder to be a grace grower.

Who has been a grace grower in your life? 💬

How can technology bring belonging back into disability support?

For many people in the NDIS, support can feel like endless forms, repeated stories, and systems that don’t always see the whole person.

That’s why we’re proud to be working alongside My Solas, a platform designed to make the NDIS simpler and more human. With tools like Plan Navigator, Request for Service, and Secure Messaging, it helps participants, coordinators, and providers focus less on admin and more on connection.

This isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about belonging.
✔️ Participants can feel recognised for their goals and identity.
✔️ Coordinators can build trust without losing time in paperwork.
✔️ Providers can collaborate with clarity and care.

As our Executive Director, Traidy Bugeja-Naidoo, steps into his role as NSW Brand Advocate for My Solas, we see this partnership as more than strategic. It’s personal, rooted in values of inclusion, person-centred care, and community.

Because when systems are built with belonging in mind, everyone wins.

Flexibility isn’t about ticking boxes.

It’s about saying yes to the dance class, the last-minute catch-up, or the quiet night in when you need it most. Life changes, and your support should keep up.

Imagine what flexibility could open up for you.

Supporting goals effectively is about more than services. It’s about recognising humanity, stories, and belonging.

We use a framework called Ubuntu, which is a South African philosophy, meaning “I am because you are.” It’s the belief that when we nurture one another, everyone grows stronger.

For people navigating life at the intersections of disability, q***rness, culture, and identity, Ubuntu is a reminder that wellbeing is never separate. Every step forward ripples outward, strengthening community.

Your goals, your dreams, and your joy matter. When one person thrives, we all thrive.

How do you see interconnectedness showing up in your own life?

Last Friday we joined the Wear It Purple Day event hosted by Blacktown Area Community Centres Inc. - BACC, celebrating visibility, safety, and pride for LGBTQIA+ young people in our community.

We were proud to partner with incredible organisations, including Legal Aid NSW , headspace Mt Druitt , WASH House , Youth NSW Health, and Playgroup NSW , to support our local LGBTQIA+ community.

Thank you Blacktown Area Community Centres for creating a space where young people could share their talents, connect with community, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Today is Wear It Purple Day, a day of visibility and support for LGBTQIA+ young people 🌈

We asked our team what this day means to them. Jamie shared:
“When I was younger, I didn’t always feel safe to show up as myself. Wear It Purple reminds me of the importance of young people today knowing they don’t have to hide who they are. Visibility matters, it tells us we’re not alone, and that we belong.”

Wearing purple is a symbol, but what really matters is the message: you are valued, you are loved, and you belong.

✨ Staff Recognition – August ✨

For two years, Sheree has been a perfect match for David.

With no family here in Australia, David relies on close friends and support workers. Sheree has made sure he never feels alone, not only through her care and professionalism, but also by helping him stay connected with loved ones back in South Africa.

When friends can’t be there, they know he’s safe with her. She goes above and beyond, bringing both warmth and reliability that make all the difference.

Gratitude doesn’t begin to cover it. Support workers like Sheree change lives every day.
