At Support Solutions Australia, we are passionate about promoting inclusion, empowering individuals and ensuring people with disability have a voice in decisions that impact their lives.

We are excited to share an upcoming opportunity through the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where our very own SSA participant, Erin, is working alongside researchers on the Know Me, Support Me project!

This innovative research project aims to develop an AI health resource to help people with intellectual disability, their families and support networks recognise changes in physical and mental health and access appropriate medical assistance sooner.

Wednesday, 28 October 2026
Charlestown, Newcastle NSW
10am – 3pm
For more information or to register:

This is an opportunity to share your experiences, contribute your ideas and help shape a resource that could make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with intellectual disability.

Participation is voluntary, and eligible participants with intellectual disability will receive a gift card in recognition of their time.

Please see contact details on the attached flyer.

Today is RU OK? Day, a reminder that a simple question can open the door to an important conversation.

But in the disability sector, asking “Are you OK?” also means asking:

Do you feel safe, heard and supported?

Being there is more than asking the question, it’s making sure everyone has a way to answer.

As support workers, families, friends and community members, let's create spaces where people feel comfortable to communicate in their own way, without judgement or pressure.

Today, ask R U OK?
And then take the time to listen, however someone chooses to communicate.

Participant Spotlight – Peter's Passion for Harley Motorcycles! 🏍️

At Support Solutions Australia, we believe that meaningful support is about helping people pursue the things that bring them joy, purpose, and connection.

Peter has always had a passion for motorcycles, especially Harley-Davidsons. With the support of our dedicated team member, Stephen, he recently had the opportunity to visit and explore a range of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, turning one of his greatest passions into a meaningful community experience.Seeing Peter so engaged, excited, and genuinely enjoying the experience was incredibly rewarding. He told us he absolutely loved the day, and moments like these remind us how important it is to support people in achieving their individual goals and embracing the activities that matter most to them.
Every participant's journey is unique, and we're proud to provide person-centred supports that empower people to explore their interests, build confidence, and stay connected with their community.

Thank you, Peter, for allowing us to share a small part of your journey with our community. 💙

Senior Thrive Academy students recently participated in an informative and engaging session with Support Solutions at Boolaroo, where they gained valuable insight into the services and supports available within their local community.
Students were warmly welcomed by Irene (Operations Manager) and Brady (Café Manager), who outlined the services offered by Support Solutions and responded to any questions students had throughout the session. After the session, students dined in the Cup of Kindness Café, providing them with an opportunity to see and experience a supported employment setting firsthand.
We would like to thank Support Solutions for the opportunity to connect and for their generous hospitality.

Some of you may remember Simone's earlier post about swimming laps throughout March to raise money for the youth mental health service, ReachOut. Her original goal was to swim 20km but managed to push on to 27km! That's 1080 laps of a 25m pool! Out of 9,500 participants Simone managed to come in at #586 on the leaderboard for laps, and raised $600 for the cause thanks to some beautiful people who got behind her and sponsored Simone for the challenge. Massive thank you to Irene Pearce, Jodi Thornton and Support Solutions Australia for being among them ❤️
