Peter B
About Me
I come from a multi-textured employment background of surveying, logistics, manual labour & software development but have entered a stage in my life where it’s time to give back & make a more meaningful impact.
I’m all about the concepts of “live and let live”, trying to understand each other and looking for the good in people, with an aim to help bring out people’s best.
One of my greatest passions in life is storytelling, whether that be in books, film, tv, video games or even just spinning a yarn about life one to another.
My other great passion is music. I think that music can be a powerful, transformative, healing & magical medium, through both its consumption and its expression.

Zoe
About Me
I have over 3 years of experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including those with intellectual disabilities, mental health challenges, autism, complex behaviours, physical disabilities, and speech and communication difficulties. Much of my experience has been supporting children aged 16 and under; however, I also really value working with adults and appreciate the different approaches, connections and support each individual requires.
I have a genuine care for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, and inclusivity is something I deeply value. I enjoy building real, meaningful connections and helping people feel truly seen and understood. From my own experiences, I’ve seen the impact that strong support and community can have, which is what motivates me to show up for others in a thoughtful and genuine way.
I am 21 years old but a true grandma at heart! My hobbies include reading, crochet, crafts, baking, board/card games and walks. I also love my fur baby (Franklin the Greyhound) and will definitely talk about him and show you many photos if you ask.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, alongside completing a certificate in Auslan. I truly love the work I do and feel grateful to be in a field where I can support and connect with others, and I hope to continue providing meaningful care through my future career.
I look forward to getting to know you!

About Me
I have been a Building Biologist for the past 20 years where I have visited homes and helped to create healthy homes and working with health practitioners to assist families who were getting sick because of something in their home. I am very passionate about supporting people to live fulfilled and content lives regardless of any possible limitations they may have. Helping others and giving back is my top priority.

Maddison
About Me
My career in Support Work started during the peak of COVID, when I began working in aged care without any formal qualifications. It didn’t take long for me to realise I’d found something I genuinely loved. Helping people, building meaningful relationships, and making a positive difference in someone’s day quickly became my passion.
Since then, I’ve completed my Certificate IV in Ageing Support and Certificate IV in Disability, which have allowed me to expand my skills and support a wider range of people. I’m currently studying my Diploma of Community Services so I can continue growing both personally and professionally while providing the best possible support to those in my care.
I truly love the work I do and honestly couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. Being able to support others to live fulfilling, independent, and meaningful lives is incredibly rewarding, and I feel grateful to have found a career I’m so passionate about.
