• The Big Wins: Teaching a child or adult a new daily living skill or helping them master their morning routine.

• The Fun Stuff: Heading out into Wagga for social outings, hobbies, and community events to spark inclusion.

You don’t need a degree to have a heart, but you do need the following:

• The Safety Net: Current First Aid & CPR, a paid NDIS Workers Check (NDSWC), and a Working with Children Check (WWCC).
