For Lorelle, a 56-year-old NDIS participant living with a psychosocial disability, the kitchen once felt more like a battlefield than a place of joy. The thought of using a gas cooktop stirred up waves of fear and anxiety. But with time, patience, and the right support, she’s found not only confidence— but a renewed sense of independence.

For years, Monica dreamed of working in the disability and aged care sectors, driven by her deep compassion and desire to brighten others' days. Now, after eight years of perseverance, that dream is within reach. Monica has been accepted into a Certificate III in Disability Support program- a goal she’s held onto for nearly a decade. Her ambition doesn’t stop there; once she completes this qualification, she plans to pursue further training in aged care.
