Andrej's Story

"Care & Connects are brilliant – they're just good at everything!"

Overcoming travel barriers

“Imagine lying in what feels like a coffin the entire day and not having anything to do,” Andrej describes his situation before receiving support. “They have a van which is much more accessible and takes me everywhere,” Andrej explains.

Personalised care and community participation

Care & Connects continued to provide community participation services to Andrej. “In the past year, I’ve chosen one carer – Alex. We’re very much on the same level,” Andrej shares, highlighting the importance of the rapport with his support worker.

Building independence and engagement

Our community participation program focuses on enriching social interactions and community engagement. “All of a sudden you can go to shopping centres and have coffee. It makes a world of difference,” Andrej emphasises, describing the impact of the support on his daily life.

A comprehensive approach to support

From providing accessible transportation to tailoring activities to suit Andrej’s preferences and abilities, we take a comprehensive approach to Andrej’s support. “Care & Connects are brilliant – they’re just good at everything!” Andrej affirms.

Andrej’s story exemplifies how Care & Connects’ disability supports help overcome obstacles to mobility, social connection, and community engagement.
