A little plant care goes a long way 🪴

Looking after plants can be a simple and enjoyable way to build routine, responsibility and everyday skills, with the bonus of a happier, greener space!

A few easy tips to keep your plants thriving:
☀️ Find the right light: check whether your plant prefers bright, indirect light or a shadier spot.
💧 Don’t overwater: check the soil first. If it’s still damp, your plant can probably wait.
🍃 Keep the leaves clean: gently wipe away dust to help them soak up the light.
🌱 Give them room to grow: if roots are getting crowded, it might be time for a bigger pot.
💚 Get to know your plant: every variety is a little different, so pay attention to what works for yours.

Hobbies like plant care are a great way to stay active, engaged, and support an independent life-style

Community isn't a building.

It's not a program.

It's not an event.

Community is feeling welcomed. Being known. Having people who genuinely care.

At Jac's Place, we believe connection has the power to improve wellbeing, build confidence and create opportunities for people to flourish.

Sometimes the biggest myth is thinking you have to do it all alone.

The NDIS can feel overwhelming at times, and that's completely normal. Whether you're new to a plan, preparing for a review, or exploring new supports, asking questions is all part of the process.

The good news? You don't have to navigate it on your own. There are people, services, and supports available to help you along the way.

A little knowledge, a little support, and taking one step at a time can make a huge difference. 💙

If you have questions or need a hand understanding your options, we're always happy to help. 😊

Caring for our bedding and clothes is a great way to care for ourselves, as well as the environment! 🌲

By using fabric softener, we can help our items stay softer, reduce sensory issues, and help us get more life out of the things we already own. 👕✨

Sustainability starts with all of us making small actions, and caring about the little things 😊

What do you do when one of your participants keeps breaking their bed? Well, you get creative! 💡

One of our incredible participants loved to jump on his bed, which wasn’t exactly ideal! By organising a brand-new trampoline for his home, he was able to jump to his heart’s content, and let his energy out in a more constructive way. 👍

Solutions aren’t one size fits all! We pride ourselves on working closely with our participants to make their lives better, in whatever way fits them best.

One of our incredible liaisons, Ben, has an exciting life update for us! 🙌

He has officially started studying his Master’s in Clinical Psychology! He’s been finding it so interesting, and it’s given him greater insights into what true support of others means.

A lot of what he’s learning links directly to his work here at Jac’s! Safe and grounding communication, noticing signs of stress and implementing simple strategies for making life easier - these are the things we love to see here!

We’re so proud of Ben for taking this next step in his education, and can’t wait to see where it leads!

How cool is this?

Head to their page to find out more - it looks amazing!

Another participant success story? Don’t mind if we do! 🤩

One of our amazing participants has been hard at work on her Certificate III in Beauty Services! She has been practicing her skills in manicures and pedicures, learning to use technical beauty equipment safely, and her favourite, discovering industry secrets to makeup application. 💄

She’s so excited to keep growing and one day travel the world with her new skills - we couldn’t be more excited for her! 😊

Everyone, meet Lucky! 🐘

On her recent trip to Chiang Mai in Thailand, our CEO Bec adopted this beautiful elephant, who had been mistreated for years before being taken in by her current home.

Lucky is quite the character, always posing for the camera! She is a true reminder that when you give someone the space to be themselves, you can unlock something truly remarkable. 😊

We’re so Lucky to have her join our crew, and support her from afar!
