Yesterday was the Cairns Disability Support Worker Conference!

A huge thank you to our guest speakers who shared their expertise and insights throughout the day:

⭐️ Christine Bigby from La Trobe University on quality of life and what excellence truly looks like in support work

🏅 Paralympian Grant 'Scooter' Patterson on motivation, lived experience and inclusion

⚓️ Adam Sellars from The Pressure Project on resilience and performing under pressure

💡 Kim Adams from the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services & Child Safety on recognising and responding to Domestic and Family Violence

🌈 Bryce Pace on intersectional identity and how to be an ally to the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities.

It was fantastic to see so many new and familiar faces on the day - we're proud to be part of a caring community striving for better every day. 👏
