Awesome work as usual team! 💪

This week Hunter Disability Services sowed seeds, planted seedlings and removed some vines. They also harvested some pumpkin, cauliflower, capsicum and spinach. This will be eaten by the participants and taken to the The Vines Community Church.

Although a bit chilly we all warmed up quickly with some hard yakka and were rewarded with some fresh food.

On the last day before we head into winter, let’s take a moment to reflect on the beautiful autumn that was. Annie and Anna spent some time this month amongst the glorious sunflower patches, soaking up the sunshine and stunning scenery. I’m sure we can all agree there were some absolutely beautiful days this season! 🌻🍂

Oaka has a wonderful skill set when supporting neurodiverse participants and those with complex behaviours, and her calm, caring nature shines through in everything she does. We are so thrilled to have you on board, Oaka!

Meet Charlie 👋
Charlie is a support worker who has shown maturity well beyond his years. Since joining the industry, he has taken to the role like a duck to water, using his leadership, confidence and initiative to help participants engage in their local community and build meaningful connections.
Outside of work, Charlie is also an incredibly talented basketballer who has worked his way through the ranks to now proudly represent our beloved Maitland Mustangs. You’ll often spot some of Charlie’s participants on the sidelines at home games, proudly cheering him on! 🏀
If you’d like to catch Charlie in action on the court, the next exciting Double Header will be held on the 23rd and 24th May.
Great work, Charlie — we’re proud to have you as part of the team! 👏

Big congratulations to our long-term team member, Charley, on graduating! 🎓

Charley has now stepped into an exciting new role as a Registered Nurse working in a busy medical ward at John Hunter Hospital — an incredible achievement.

And never fear… Charley is still very much part of the HDS family, continuing to support the clients he knows and loves.

We’re so proud of you, Charley — what an amazing milestone! 👏

Garth living it up in wine country 🍇
Cruising around in a horse & cart, then switching it up with a ride on a motor trike—what a day!
New experiences, big smiles, and making the most of it 🙌

Another successful harvest at the sustainability hub 🌱
So good to see the hard work paying off, with fresh produce picked and plenty to share.

Nothing better than growing, learning, and enjoying it together 🌿

Lest we forget. 🌺
