✨ We are excited to introduce Courtenay to the YSS Team! ✨

Courtenay currently has availability for supports, so if you’re looking for a friendly and experienced support worker, we’d love to hear from you! 💙

A little bit about her:

Hi, I’m Courtenay, 36 years old!

I was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia when I was 12, where I now hold dual citizenship.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve built a strong background working closely with families supporting children in a variety of roles. My experience includes working with children in the witness protection program in the UK, supporting children with learning disabilities, volunteering as a teacher’s aide in a primary school in New Zealand, and travelling internationally with a family and their son who is living with a diagnosis of autism.

I’ve also spent time volunteering in South East Asia with animal welfare organisations and special needs orphanages, which has been incredibly rewarding.

I bring a broad range of knowledge and a genuine passion for the care sector. I’m a warm, empathetic, and outgoing person who truly values building meaningful relationships with the people I support.

Outside of work, I love the beach, ice cream on a hot day, going for walks, exploring new places, camping, coffee, travelling, and anything to do with animals 🐾

I’m so excited to be part of the team at You Support Services and look forward to meeting new people and building great connections! 💙

With so much uncertainty following yesterday’s NDIS announcements, we wanted to share this simple, easy to read update to help make things a little clearer.

To all of our participants that we support weekly and daily, please know we’re here for you. If you’re feeling unsure or have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to talk things through and support you in any way we can.

As always, when needed, we will continue to provide detailed reports outlining the supports you receive, why they are essential, the progress you’ve made, and the goals you’re working towards we want to continue to ensure you have the strongest evidence possible.

You’re not navigating this alone 💙

Its been a while since I've introduced myself, I'm Aaron from You Support Services I'm a 34-year-old support worker based in the Port Macquarie area with over 10 years of experience in the field. I hold a Diploma in Community Services and possess all the necessary certificates to provide high-quality care and support.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for and supporting individuals with a diverse range of needs, including those with mental illness, physical and intellectual disabilities. My experience extends to in-home support, community support, short-term accommodation, overnight stays, and supported independent living.

I am truly passionate about helping participants set and achieve both short and long-term goals. I strongly believe in encouraging independent decision-making whenever possible, ensuring that the support I provide is tailored to each individual's unique needs and preferences, empowering them with choice and autonomy.

In addition to my direct support work, I am also involved in mentoring two young male support workers (aged 20 and 21) who have recently completed their Certificate III in Disability Support. Together, we form a cohesive team that supports and learns from one another to deliver the best possible care to those we serve.

Currently, we have availability in our team, and if you know of a participant who could benefit from our combined expertise and dedication, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would be delighted to connect with you and explore how we can support and make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.

YSS School Holidays Part 2

Day 1 - Movies - Elemental, Pizza lunch and Park Activities
Day 2 - Sancrox Park, Sausage Sizzle lunch and Reptile Solutions show and reptile hold.

We loved having everyone back to our two days this July School Holidays, so many friendships have formed now and the kids were excited to see their friends again. Some said they haven't seen each other in aggggeessss, which I love as I really wanted friendships to form.

Thank you to Stuart from Reptile Solutions, his show was really enjoyable and the kids got answers to their reptile questions, along with this he was extremely patient in giving all the kids a hold of the snakes, blue tounge lizard and croc.

I hope all the kids enjoy the rest of their school holidays!

YSS NDIS JULY SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM

Monday 3rd July - Movie - Elemental (rating PG), Pizza lunch & Park Activities

We are excited once again to be holding a couple of School Holiday Programs this July.

Our School Holiday Program is for a smaller group of kids aged 7+, it is a great program for kids that have some anxiety around large groups.

If you have or know of a child that would benefit from being supported whilst having fun, all whilst meeting and forming friendships with other kids their age, then this program will be great for them.
