🧡 **MALE DISABILITY SUPPORT WORKERS WANTED** 🖤

**We have participants waiting to be matched with male support workers!**

At NDIThrive, choice and control matters. Several of our participants have specifically requested male support workers, and we are recruiting to meet their individual preferences and support needs.

The next, you could be out on the farm supporting participants with animal care, horticulture, cooking, art, life skills and other hands-on activities.

We need people who can adapt their approach, think on their feet and confidently move between both environments while keeping the participant’s individual needs, goals, safety and choices at the centre of their support.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

✓ Previous experience supporting higher-needs and/or complex participants
✓ Confident working both independently in-home and as part of our farm team
✓ Versatile, adaptable and reliable
✓ Comfortable working with animals and outdoors including reptiles
✓ Professional communication & documentation skills
✓ A genuine understanding of person-centred support, dignity, choice and control

✓ Working with Children Check
✓ Police Check

🌾 Slow Down, Skill Up - Adult NDIS Participants this is for you!🌾

Picture this: a cuppa in hand, fresh country air, and a Camel named Kamal giving you the once-over. That's a Wednesday or a Thursday at NDIThrive.

Our Farm Day Programs are built around real capacity building and skill development — but in a chilled, relaxed environment where the "work" doesn't feel like work. Feed the alpacas, potter in the polyhouse garden, help cook lunch, get creative in the Art Centre — all while building independence, confidence and everyday life skills, at your own pace, with some seriously cool animals as your backdrop.

Adult Program Days:
✅ Wednesdays — Life Skills, 10am–3pm
✅ Thursdays & Fridays — Group Farm Days, 9am–4pm — come 1, come all
✅ 1:1 support available any day — still part of the group, just at your own pace

Let the stress go. Build your skills. Bring your NDIS plan and let's make it count.

🌿 NEW Saturday NDIS Farm Day Program – Now Open! 🐑🐐

We’re excited to introduce our Saturday Farm Day Program at NDIThrive – a unique, hands-on experience designed exclusively for NDIS participants.

🕙 Saturdays | 10:00am – 3:00pm - Commencing 6th June, 2026

Each week includes:
🐾 Animal interaction (including reptiles + feeding time!)
🌱 Horticulture, gardening, seed propagation & harvesting
🍳 Cooking session with a shared lunch
🎨 Arts & crafts – woodwork, resin, clay, bead and glass work, jewellery making & nature-based creations

This is fast becoming one of the most unique programs in the area, and places are already filling quickly from our waitlist.

⚠️ Don’t wait for School Holidays – join us every Saturday and be part of something special!

Spots are VERY VERY limited – reach out today to secure your place!

As we come to the end of the school holidays, we’ve been reflecting on what has been a big (and very rewarding!) couple of weeks at NDIThrive.

Our first week kicked off at full pace with over 30 attending each day — the farm was buzzing with energy, laughter, and activity. We loved seeing the genuine connections forming — from gentle animal interactions to hands-on engagement in horticulture, gardening, cooking, and creative arts.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be getting the keys to our new farm in Pearcedale and beginning the transition across. Don’t panic — we’ve planned this carefully and have extended our time to ensure the move is smooth, especially for our beautiful animals. Their wellbeing (and a seamless experience for our clients) is our top priority.

The new location is only around 20 minutes away, and throughout the move we’ll continue operating and welcoming new clients and staff as we grow.

There are some bittersweet moments too. Last week we said goodbye to someone very special to the NDIThrive family — Dylan. Our reptile master, youth worker, and all-round legend has been a huge part of our journey. From sharing his passion for animals to building meaningful connections with participants, Dylan has left a lasting impact on so many. He’s heading off to pursue his career supporting young people — something he has worked hard to study and prepare for. While we’ll miss him greatly, we couldn’t be prouder and wish him every success. Our door is always open if he ever finds his way back down this way.

On a brighter note, we’re excited to welcome Meri to the team. With a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience, we know she will be a fantastic addition and fit right in.

As the colder mornings settle in, stay warm — and remember we’re here for all your support needs. Whether it’s on the farm, in the community, or in-home supports, we’re ready to help.

🌿 Big News — NDIThrive Is Moving to Pearcedale! 🌿

With the incredible growth of NDIThrive and so many wonderful clients joining our community, we knew it was time to create something more permanent — a place where our vision for the future could truly grow.

We’ve always had big dreams for the people we support. Dreams of long-term programs, meaningful opportunities, stability and continuity. To make those dreams possible, we knew we had to take the next step.

💚 So we did. WE BOUGHT A FARM!

From June 2026, NDIThrive will officially call Pearcedale our permanent home.

This beautiful property will allow us to expand everything that has made NDIThrive so special, while building even more opportunities for the people we support and the wider community.

Many people discovered what makes NDIThrive unique during our time in Bangholme — and now we’re excited to bring that same passion, innovation and heart to Pearcedale.

🌱 What’s coming to our new home:

• Expanded farm-based programs including after school and weekend programs
• Employment pathway opportunities for participants
• Dedicated School Leavers Employment Supports (SLES) programs - already running but expanded upon significantly
• Partnerships with local schools to support students transitioning into meaningful adult programs
• A vibrant Art Centre
• Cafe and community shops creating real-life work experience opportunities

We’re already working closely with Peninsula Specialist College, Cranbourne Secondary College, Peninsula Autism School and so many more local schools to help NDIS school leavers transition into programs that build skills, independence, confidence and real-life experiences.

Being located close to the Pearcedale town centre allows us to remain what we’ve always aimed to be — a central hub of meaningful inclusion where community, creativity and opportunity come together.

✨ We can’t wait to welcome the local community and continue building a place where people can truly learn, grow and thrive.

Join us as we begin this exciting new chapter.

🧚‍♀️NEW OFFERING AT NDITHRIVE FARM 🧚‍♂️

Our Anxiety and Stress Management Workshops are designed to support participants in understanding, managing, and responding to stress and anxiety in a safe, supportive group setting.

Across this program, participants will learn practical tools to recognise stress responses, understand how anxiety shows up in the body, and develop effective strategies to regulate emotions and respond to triggers.

The workshops focus on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence — both within the sessions and out in the community.

Participants will be supported to:

Recognise stress and anxiety responses in the body

Learn grounding and regulation strategies

Build confidence in managing triggers and stressors

Strengthen communication around needs and boundaries

Develop a sense of internal safety and self-trust

Apply skills in real-world and community settings

The overall goal of the program is to help participants feel safe enough within themselves to create personal safety systems, recognise what safety feels like, and respond effectively when faced with challenging situations.

This program is expected to run for 8–12 weeks, meeting weekly at 4pm on Tuesday's. Reach out if you are interested - STARTS THIS WEEK!

✨ NEW ARRIVAL ALERT – WELCOME JACK! ✨

We are beyond excited to introduce our newest arrival to the NDIThrive family… Jack!
Jack isn’t just any newcomer — he is Jenny’s husband and the soon-to-be proud father of her foal due very soon! 💛🐴

Their reunion today was absolutely magical.
We let him into the paddock where Jenny has been and over the fence our majestic Camel duo, Kamille and Kamal were munching grass when they looked up. Now, Kamille and Kamal used to share a paddock with Jenny and Jack. They had all been separated. The moment they spotted Jack… well, let’s just say the whole herd lit up! There was jumping, prancing, and a LOT of excitement at the fact they were all back together again — we even had to bring out some carrots to help everyone settle down again! 🥕😆

These beautiful moments of connection are what make farm life so special.
And speaking of special…

✨ Please join us in welcoming AMBER to the NDIThrive team! ✨
Amber is a Counsellor, Youth Mentor, and an all-round incredibly kind, grounded and compassionate soul. We feel truly honoured to have her join us as Support Staff. Our participants are going to adore her.

🌿 NDIThrive Is Hiring Again! 🌿

Passionate • Forward-Thinking • Energetic Support Workers Wanted. We need you to bring the Wiggles Energy!!

With another influx of new clients joining our NDIThrive community, we’re expanding our team again — and we’re searching for exceptional humans who share our vision, values and love for nature-based holistic supports.

Support work is available both on and off the farm, but if you love the outdoors, animals, creativity and getting hands-on… you’ll feel right at home here.

✨ Who We’re Looking For
We want support workers who are:

Passionate about empowering NDIS participants in meaningful, experience-rich ways

Energetic, reliable, and committed to person-centred practice

Forward-thinking and proactive — the “see a need and jump in” type

Willing to get their hands dirty in horticulture and gardening

Not afraid of reptiles — including snakes 🐍

Keen to help with farm projects, outdoor activities, arts and nature-based programs

Warm, patient, fun, and able to build positive relationships with our participants

Ready to be a big brother/big sister-style mentor, as we have clients waiting now for the right personality match

Creative or artistic

🦙 Why Work With Us?
At NDIThrive, no two days are the same. One day you might be feeding camels and goats, the next you’re helping a participant start a garden bed, create something in the Arts Centre, or support someone to build confidence and independence in the community.

We offer:

A warm, supportive team culture

A holistic and creative environment

Opportunities for professional growth

Real impact in the lives of our clients

Flexible hours & meaningful work you won’t find anywhere else

📩 Apply Now
If this sounds like you — energetic, kind, hands-on, comfortable with animals, and ready to bring big heart and big energy — we’d love to hear from you!

🌟 A MAJESTIC DUO HAS ARRIVED AT NDIThrive! 🌟
Today we welcomed two extraordinary new members to our farm family…
✨ Prince Kamal and Princess Kamille ✨

Our majestic duo has settled in with complete ease. Their gentle energy, curious spirits and regal charm have already captivated everyone on the farm.

And… we’re thrilled to share that we’re expecting the pitter patter of tiny camel-toe feet soon too! 🐪💛 The magic just keeps growing at NDIThrive.

With over 80 beloved animals, our sanctuary continues to flourish — from alpacas and goats to adonkey, horses, Shetlands, reptiles, sugar gliders and more. Each addition brings new warmth, learning, connection and joy, and Kamal and Kamille have already become shining stars among our furry (and not-so-furry) friends.

💛 Public Visits Coming Soon!
We’ve had so many enquiries from the general public about visiting the sanctuary. We’re excited to announce that from March 2026 we’ll be opening selected days for public visits and photo sessions so you can meet our incredible residents — including our newest royal arrivals.

🌿 Meanwhile… Did You Know?
We are an NDIS Provider offering holistic Farm Day Programs, meaning NDIS participants don’t have to wait — you can share the fun now.
Come and enjoy feeding and interacting with all our animals (including our new majestic duo!), along with a rich day of experiences such as:
• Horticulture and gardening in our huge polyhouse
• Nature-based activities
• Time in our massive Arts Centre for woodwork, clay, resin and creative arts
• Outdoor games, archery and more

Every day at NDIThrive is a chance to connect, grow, learn and thrive.

For now, we’re celebrating this beautiful moment as our majestic duo settles in and the NDIThrive family continues to grow in the most magical ways.

Welcome home, Prince Kamal & Princess Kamille. 🐪👑🐪

✨ WOW – what a week here at NDIThrive! ✨

We’re so busy we even started a big whiteboard to keep track of all our amazing clients… and guess what? We can’t even keep up with the whiteboard anymore! 🙌

🐐 On the farm, our family just grew – our gorgeous twin goat kids arrived on Saturday, only 5 minutes apart. Both are doing beautifully, and with another mum-to-be due any day now, we’re on baby watch again. 💕

🐑 Little Dottie, our bottle-fed lamb, is thriving too! She’s grown so much that she’s finally weaning off her beloved shagpile rug in the office in front of the heater and discovering the joy of grass, flowers and fresh air outside. 🌸🌱

🥖 Our participants are loving their yummy morning teas – like the beautiful morning tea in today’s photos – before heading off to enjoy our awesome group activities in the Farm Day Program.

🐴 And a big shoutout to our Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program – it’s been so popular that sessions are filling so fast, we will have to waitlist soon!

We are so grateful for the energy, growth, and joy happening here every single day. We love to be here, our workers love to be here and our clients love to be here. There isn't much more that can be said. Photo's speak for themselves.💚
