Even though I have a very busy week working 5 days and fitting in different therapies like physio, I think finding time to relax is important. In my spare time I like to paint, visit relaxing places and study neuroscience. I would really like to try out photography as well.
I’ve been with Interaction for over 2 years. My support workers take me shopping, to church and other outings.

I do like to use the internet to learn new things, explore hobbies and watch lectures which otherwise I could never do.

His employer held a celebration for his retirement where he was given gifts and […]

I’ve been with Interaction for more than 5 years. My Support Coordinator supports me very well by offering me choices around my supports, which makes me feel comfortable. I love watching car racing and sports, and spending time with family, especially my wife, as she is in a nursing home. I like listening to all […]
My Support Coordinator at Interaction always helps me arrange my supports so I can continue to live by myself, and she helps to make sure I can cook and eat the right foods. I like to visit Palm Beach to see the real Home and Away because it’s my favourite show. I also like to […]
