Our amazing Support Worker Frida joined Interchange a whooping 12 years ago and we are so glad that she did. She is a truly regular i Think You Are Awesome award nominee, and we are excited to be celebrating her through this story a little bit extra today! 

Lead Support Worker Darren from our Belmont Neighbourhood used to be an English teacher but took the leap into the Disability Sector 5 years ago.

Jade’s passion is evident in her role at Interchange, where she keeps administrative tasks running smoothly to help people with disability live fulfilling lives. Jade enjoys knowing that she is doing something that adds value to someone’s life.

Several years ago, Meigan would work at her old job at a food court, and she would always be so delighted by the great spirit and friendliness people with disability would approach her with. This led her to think, ‘why not become a Support Worker’? 

Marc’s story is a testament to the positive impact of aligning interests with meaningful actions. A close and genuine relationship with his Support Workers Sandra and Nicola meant that he felt comfortable sharing his passions with his team.

For over four years Geoffrey has been part of the Interchange team. He gained much knowledge in supporting people with complex needs in his time as a Support Worker. He finds his role utterly rewarding, feels a sense of belonging with his team and is proud of his accomplishments.  

When Kate and Taylor first met in their Team Leader’s office 7 years ago, there was an instant spark! Who would have known that fast forward those seven years, they would have a beautiful baby girl together and are about to get married!

Ricci enjoys his job which is to help people fulfil their goals and to live a meaningful life. And this is also the reason why he chose the disability sector in the first place. It brings him joy being able to add quality to someone's life.
