The little daily things can be where confidence grows.

Capacity building skills are often built in everyday moments, like getting ready in the morning, planning a meal, or learning to cook safely at home.

In this video, our client shares that having kind, supportive workers around him has helped him with routines and cooking his own dinners.

That’s what person-centred support can look like: practical help, shared steps, and learning at a pace that feels right for the person.

What’s a daily skill that’s made a difference for you or someone you love?

Ever feel like the NDIS uses a language of its own?
You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Today in NDIS Terms Explained, we’re breaking down Core vs Capacity Building funding without the jargon.

A simple way to remember it:
Core = support for today
Capacity = skills for tomorrow

What NDIS term should we explain next?

To our incredible disability & mental health support workers at Chosen Family.

Thank you for the work that goes far beyond a shift checklist. Yes, there’s community access, personal care, appointments, and budgeting. But there’s also the emotional labour: holding space through frustration, supporting growth, celebrating wins, and walking beside people as they challenge themselves and reach their goals.

This work is deeply human. It’s care, connection, and dignity in action.

We see you supporting not just individuals, but families, futures, and confidence every day.
Thank you for choosing empathy.
Thank you for choosing people.
Thank you for choosing Chosen Family.

Sometimes it really is the simple things 💛

Coming on board and feeling welcome.
Building trust with support workers through respite.
And getting excited about what’s next — including SIL.

This is the kind of journey we work towards with every person we support.

A big thank you to Chloe for being such a caring, consistent presence throughout this process.

Last Friday reminded us of something deeply important: people thrive when they feel they belong.

We came together to celebrate the end of the year with familiar faces we know well, and new faces we were excited to welcome in. There was laughter, shared food, relaxed conversations, and that gentle festive buzz that only happens when people feel comfortable being themselves.

What stood out most wasn’t the decorations or the season, it was the sense of ease in the room. People reconnecting. People meeting for the first time. People showing up just as they are, knowing they’re welcome.

Community isn’t something that happens by accident. It’s built slowly, through trust, care, and making space for everyone to be seen and heard. Day's like this are a small but meaningful reminder of why that matters so much.

Grateful for everyone who joined us, brought their warmth, and helped make the evening what it was. Here’s to carrying that sense of connection forward into the year ahead 🎄✨

We’re excited to celebrate our final staff recognition for the year with one of our longest-standing team members — Angela

Angela has been supporting people with mental health challenges and physical disabilities since August 2022, and her support is grounded in genuine care and encouragement. A participant recently shared how Angela has been helping motivate them to eat healthier and bring more movement into their life — in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Angela brings this encouragement naturally. She loves staying active, getting out into the community, and trying new things. From Zumba and bushwalking to movies, board games, bowling, and exploring new places to eat. That shared enjoyment helps people feel more confident, connected, and supported to give things a go.

Angela, thank you for the heart, humour, and consistency you bring to the people you support and to our wider community. We’re so grateful you’re part of Chosen Family 🌈

Trisha reminds us how powerful it is to show up in spaces where you’re fully seen.
Heading to Mardi Gras with support workers who get your identity, celebrate your joy, and hold safety without question, that’s what real inclusion feels like.

For LGBTQIA+ folks living with a disability, having someone beside you who shares lived experience can turn a crowded event into a place of belonging.

When Traidy looked around the disability sector, something felt… off.
It was becoming commercialised, rushed, and missing the heart that makes support meaningful.

So he created Chosen Family, a place where humanity, joy, and dignity come first.
A place where people feel seen, heard, and supported for who they are.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the NDIS, or wished things felt more human, this is exactly why we’re here. 💛

Tell us! What would you change about the support system if you could?

If you’ve been searching for a service that listens, understands, and walks beside you; reach out to us.

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.
