📍 West Perth HQ opens — November 2021
👩 Sisterup launches — November 2023
🏉 Buddiup Geelong — February 2024
✅ NDIS Registration — August 2025
❤️ The Buddiup Project Ltd (our charity arm) — September 2025
A big thank you to our staff, both past and present, who have been an integral part of our story. And the biggest thank you to our participants and their families for trusting us to help on your journeys. Our focus will always remain on helping our participants develop healthy lives and social connection. Here’s to another 5 years and beyond! 💙

Welcome to the team, Nardia!

We’re pleased to welcome Nardia Burgwyn as our new General Manager - Operations.

Nardia brings over 14 years of experience in the disability sector, with particular strengths in operations, compliance and administration. Her background will be valuable as we continue developing our services and organisational capacity across Buddiup and Sisterup, as well as The Buddiup Project Ltd.

Outside work, Nardia has been a competitive swimmer and maintains a strong focus on health and wellbeing, which aligns well with our organisational values and the outcomes we pursue with participants.

Social connection drives so much of what we do at Buddiup.
87% of our participants report making new friendships through our programs. Our programs create the space and structure for real friendships to form, built around shared activities and regular catch-ups. These connections matter. They reduce isolation, build confidence, and create support that extends beyond program hours.

We’re back for 2026! Our team is excited to reconnect with our community and welcome new participants to our programs. W...
