James

Hi! I’m James and I am the support manager at Adventure Care. I love the outdoors and enjoy spending time bushwalking, camping, snorkelling or even getting my hands dirty in the garden. I am passionate about sharing these experiences with other people because I believe the most fun is had when experiences are shared with others.

When I’m not out and about or busy working, I like to relax in the couch with my two dogs and play some video games or chess. I like to think of myself as a relaxed, caring and selfless person who aims to experience everything life has to offer.

Adventure Care Group - Bella

Bella

Everyone around me calls me Bella unless I am in trouble with my parents, then it’s Isabella.

My passion for playing sports and being active is something that has been part of my personality since very young. So, if you ever want to run around, kick a ball or do something fun, I will never hesitate. However, if it is cold or rainy outside I am always down to watch a movie or do some board games, We could also put on our gum boots & raincoat on and enjoy the rain.

I play AFL every weekend and fill in for netball teams when needed. So if you want to learn or teach me a thing or two I would love that.

Hi I’m Hayden

I’m a 21 year old part time student, part time carer and full time nerd.

I love talking about Star Wars (like how great Ardor was), video games and some sports like footy and cricket.  Currently, I am training for my next running event, and have really been getting into bouldering/rock climbing with my mates.

I remember what it was like to be going through challenges growing up.  I want to help everyone I work with to be the best they can be, and look forward to talking to you.

Henry

Hey there, my name is Henry!

The first thing people notice about me are my long arms and my long legs, but my favourite thing about me is my hilarious jokes!

I am a generous and kind-hearted person that loves meeting new faces, watching movies or playing games on my computer.

I am a semi-professional basketball player, which keeps me busy! I am always active and love solving puzzles.

Ever since I was young I have stuck with the mindset of focusing on the solution instead of the negative. I believe positivity can change the outlook on anything and therefore can improve any situation for the best!

I am also a student at Deakin studying Film, and I love dogs.

Mayah

Hello, I’m Mayah!

In my earlier years, I dedicated myself to full-time ballet studies. My study of this art form has instilled in me a love for active and adventurous living. Being naturally creative and enthusiastic, I find immense joy in spreading positivity and brightening people’s days with a smile or a laugh.

In my spare time, you’ll often find me exploring the great outdoors, particularly nature trails and beaches. I love discovering new cafes, indulging in dancing, and engaging in games for fun and relaxation. When I’m not on the move, you’ll catch me curled up with a good book, accompanied by my two dogs and my cat. 

I’m currently studying for my Certificate IV Allied Health Assistance in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. Previously, I’ve worked with individuals in Supported Employment assistance and Independent Living Skills. This involved leading cooking groups, providing one-on-one cooking sessions, and collaborating with social groups. I’d be more than happy to share some of my expertise with you. Let’s connect and see how I can contribute!

Pat

Hi everyone, I’m Pat!

I would describe myself as an outgoing, outdoorsy person who enjoys doing nearly anything and everything, especially when it’s with someone who is passionate about the activity. I love hearing about other people’s lives, and I try my best to be as present and caring towards everyone as possible.

I have more than five years of experience as an outdoor guide. My passion for adventure through surfing, canoeing, road racing, cycling, climbing, and snorkelling allows me to engage participants and bring out the best in them.

I am passionate about helping young people navigate through life, as I know how challenging it can be. I feel like I can achieve this by forming connections with nature and promoting physical wellbeing. My approach centres on leading with empathy and enthusiasm, inspiring confidence and resilience as they navigate their unique journeys.

Hi, I’m Ben!

I like to think of myself as a caring person who is passionate about life and everything it brings. This led me to pursue a career in disability support, as I want to assist people in achieving their goals.

I am a qualified personal trainer, and I have experience in guiding people with disabilities, whether they are just getting started at the gym or looking to improve their current fitness venture.

Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies, including gaming, listening to podcasts, playing Dungeons & Dragons, doing anything outdoors and spending time with my dogs. I also used to participate in cosplay events.

I’m excited to bring my energy and experience, and I look forward to helping the people I support to live their best lives.

Hi, I’m Nick!

I’m a bit of a big kid, I love being active, getting out and about, and finding fun things to do. I play guitar, sing and write songs (my daughter particularly loves ‘Baby Soup’ at bathtime!). I played representative basketball for the Frankston Blues, Nunawading Spectres and South Peninsula Sharks growing up, and I still play and coach to this day. My sister, who is ASD, played for Australia in the Paralympics Basketball team.

Before I was a Support Worker I owned a Film Production Company making music videos, and I also managed restaurants in Melbourne and the UK. I really enjoy playing sports (go Cats!), teaching music, films, cooking, gaming, and finding new and fun experiences to share with all my clients

Hi,  I am Tanya and I look after all the admin.  I do some support work from time to time, but mostly I look after all the behind the scenes jobs.  I am usually the one you will get on the phone if you call or email our office.  

I love travelling with a vengeance, and I also love gardening, photography and photoshop.  

When I am not in the office working you can find me outside in our garden wrestling with the weeds or chasing the dogs away from our veggie garden.
