Stevie tried to mimic the noise of the jets as they took off.
He was enjoying a fun-filled day at Fighterworld in Williamtown alongside fellow participants Steven and Ian, as well as two Samaritans support staff.
They all had a great time exploring the museum’s old fighter planes and memorabilia.
The trip to Fighterworld was part of Samaritans Supported Independent Living (SIL) program, which allows people with a disability to gain independence within a welcoming environment while receiving compassionate support.
The SIL program is just one of several NDIS and disability services that are helping people achieve their dreams and engage with the community.
As a qualified provider of the NDIS, Samaritans works with individuals and their families to deliver quality care.
We focus on individual goals and provide the supports needed for people to live their best life.
“Our NDIS team provides holistic, person-driven supports to people with disabilities in the Mid North Coast, Hunter, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and Central Coast regions.
“We currently offer Individual Services, Community Group Programs, Supported Independent Living (SIL), and Coordination of Supports.”
Support is available for daily living, including household tasks and personal care, while social activities are flexible and tailored to suit participants needs or interests.
Popular activities include cooking classes, dancing and listening to local bands, and excursions to local events and landmarks.
Samaritans has also responded to a significant demand for therapy-based services.
Its Therapy and Behaviour Support (TABS) team offers specialists in occupational therapy, speech pathology, psychology and behaviour support to children, young people, and adults.
The team accepts referrals from NDIS participants, those engaged in youth and justice programs, and private clients.
