Right-Hand Man Needed for Outings & Activities
A sociable man in his 50s with a disability is looking for a reliable companion to join him on his daily outings. He enjoys a good chat, staying active, and being part of his local community in Glendene. His week is filled with art classes, walking groups, and coffee catch-ups—he's always up for a friendly conversation, especially if there’s a dog nearby!
We’re looking for someone who can be a steady presence, helping him stay on track with his activities while also enjoying them alongside him. If you’re patient, easy-going, and know how to strike the right balance between chatting and giving someone their space, this could be a great fit. No experience in disability support is needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to be there. Bonus points if you enjoy cricket, dogs, and good conversation!
The Role:
📅 Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12 – 5pm
🚶 No driver’s license required, but you should be comfortable keeping up with a casual walking group.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
