I spend my days surrounded by good people who I call my friends at Springett House. While my disability might limit me from being able to travel long distances I still get the chance to experience new things and discover places through Interchange Australia’s wonderful Day Options programs.
A very warm welcome to Karlie joining us at our Narellan Day Options campus! Karlie lives at home with her parents and sister and owns two very cute rabbits named Hamish and Harry.
With aspirations to become a sound technician, Matty Lucas is taking all the right steps to make this dream become reality. Matty joined Interchange Australia in August 2022 after learning about how the Music, Drama and Radio programs available could help him on his journey of producing sound and music for both theatre and radio.
My name is Kerry and I am Interchange Australia’s Registered Nurse. I have only been with Interchange for a short couple of months now but wow what an amazing experience it has been so far.
Our friend from Wales “Isaac” or Zac as his friends call him who has recently joined the crew at Interchange Australia Day Options, Band and Drama programs.
Zac is a familiar, friendly face here at Interchange; we have welcomed Zac to so many music and drama events over the years where he has come along to support his best mate Paul!
Our day programs participants at Springett House have now started growing vegetables from scraps. A simple, quick and cost effective method providing continued access to fresh produce.
I was born in Germany and moved to Australia in 1978 with my father, my stepmother and younger sister. We lived in Wollongong NSW where my father worked in Port Kembla in a steelworks company. He then went on to work for various building companies building houses, through these roles he became very skilled in his trade and ended up building us a house in Unanderra.
Being a Support Worker for Interchange Australia is such a rewarding job and I am so beyond glad I joined the team, I love it so much. I will be here at Interchange until they say to me “Jennifer you’re turning 90 next week we think you should retire!”
At Interchange Australia, we offer two drama groups one as part of our Day Options Program called “show stoppers” this is held on a weekly basis across all locations and is an introduction into the world of stage plays and drama games. Show Stoppers is a super fun group where you can really get a feel for what drama groups are all about, and then we have the “Stage Fright Players” with classes held on a weekly basis in Bowral.
In a world where you can be anything, stay positive and be kind!
