Living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy means I have quite complex support requirements. Compared to other care providers I have used in the past, Trusted Companions looked at my situation holistically and found creative ways to meet my needs, while prioritising the importance of the client and carer connection when building my support team.

The thing that I value most about working for Trusted Companions is that they truly care for their employees. They really appreciate the work that we do, and provide all of the support that I need to feel confident in my role. Being a carer is very rewarding — I love going to work each day knowing that I am making a positive impact on the lives of those I support.

As a carer for my son for 25 years, finding reliable support workers has been a never-ending battle. Trusted Companions have taken the weight off my shoulders when it comes to sourcing and rostering skilled and caring workers who we are comfortable to invite into our home and lives, and looking beyond the individual and caring for the family as a whole.

My journey with Trusted Companions has been nothing short of empowering. I struggle with mobility challenges and a lot of places in the out and about are difficult for me to access without a support person. My support workers open-minded approach has turned every exploration in the Illawarra and greater Sydney area into an adventure filled with newfound possibilities. Their dedication to ensuring my comfort and inclusion has created a supportive environment where I feel not only accepted but celebrated. Each experience has been unique, and the positive impact they've had on my life is undeniable. I'm thankful for the genuine care and value they've added to my journey.

We have been with Trusted Companions over the past four years. As a mother to a child with autism, it's often challenging to keep up with the ever-evolving aspects of her world. However, the unwavering support we've received from Trusted Companions has been a big relief. Not only have they been instrumental in helping my daughter explore new horizons and discover her unique abilities, but their dedication also extends beyond the personal realm. With their assistance, I've navigated employment opportunities for my daughter, unlocking doors we never thought possible. Moreover, the team's adept handling of NDIS paperwork has not only saved me precious time but has allowed me to redirect that energy into providing even better support for my daughter.

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional support we've received from Trusted Companions during challenging times with our daughter's mild schizophrenia and intellectual disability. Navigating the complexities of our daughter's condition has been overwhelming at times, but the Trusted Companions team has consistently shown understanding, compassion, and unwavering support. Their ability to navigate challenging situations with a calm and empathetic approach has been invaluable to us. Beyond just providing assistance to our daughter, they've seamlessly integrated into our family dynamic, offering support that extends beyond expectations. Their commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment has not only eased the challenges we face but has also fostered a sense of unity and understanding within our family.
