Turning Point Support

A little-known fact about me…

I have lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was a child.

There have been times when pain, fatigue, appointments, medications, and uncertainty have felt overwhelming. Yet Rheumatoid Arthritis has also taught me resilience, adaptability, and empathy.

My experience navigating life with a chronic condition is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the work we do at Turning Point Support. I understand how important it is to have people around you who listen, advocate, and genuinely care.

Arthritis doesn’t always look the way people expect. Many people live with significant pain and limitations while continuing to work, raise families, pursue goals, and support others.

It's important we continue raising awareness of both visible and invisible disabilities and creating communities where people feel understood and supported.

Meet Melissa 👋

Melissa once served a cup of tea to the King of England 👑 Back when he was the Prince of Wales! Although, she might be remembered just as much for forgetting the milk 😅

As a mum of two boys, Melissa has developed some pretty impressive conflict resolution skills ⭐ She likes to think they're at an elite level!

What inspired Melissa to work in this industry is her passion for helping people improve their quality of life 💛 She loves supporting participants to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and connect with the right supports. For Melissa, every person's journey is unique, and being part of that journey is what makes this work so rewarding.

We’re so lucky to have her as part of our team 🌟

Today we stopped by Blending Our Futures Inclusive Café for a coffee and a catch-up with some wonderful people doing incredible things in our community.

Blending Our Futures is more than just a great café. They create meaningful employment, skill-building opportunities, and pathways to independence for people with disabilities, all while serving exceptional coffee and delicious food.

Businesses like this show what true inclusion looks like — creating opportunities, building confidence, and helping people achieve their goals in a supportive environment.

If you're in the Gawler area, pop in for a coffee and support a social enterprise that's making a real difference, one cup at a time. 🤎

The NDIS can be confusing, and you're not alone if you've felt overwhelmed trying to navigate it all.

Whether it's plan reviews, budgets, paperwork, finding the right providers, or simply knowing where to start, we'd love to know: what's been the most confusing part of the NDIS for you?

Meet George 👋

A proud night owl 🌙 His best ideas tend to arrive long after everyone else has gone to bed!

If he could instantly master any instrument, it would be the harmonica 🎵 Those bluesy tunes and the way they can swing from joyful to heartbreaking are right up his alley.

What George prioritises most in his role is remembering that every participant is unique 💛 There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to support, and he’s passionate about working alongside each person in a way that suits their individual needs and goals.

We’re so lucky to have him as part of our team 🌟

This is exactly the kind of practice we look for in the providers we work with!
Values-based supervision, genuine person-centred care, and practitioners who are supported to reflect and grow.
We highly recommend Positive Mind Body - Behaviour Support and Allied Health Professionals, go check them out!

“Values show up in how practitioners speak, decide, document, and respond.”

At Positive Mind Body, reflective practice is a core professional competency, built into how our practitioners work every day.

Our practitioners engage in regular values-based supervision led by our Regional Clinical Leads, because we know that ethical, person-centred support starts from the inside out.

Thankyou Your Support Workers Group !

This is your reminder that some of the best outcomes happen when providers genuinely work with each other, not in silos 🤍 Loved connecting with another passionate team and excited for what collaboration may bring!

If you enjoy working with independent support workers, definitely give them a look! Their collective model means workers support each other, participants can be matched with the right fit, and there’s backup coverage when needed. A really smart approach to flexible, reliable support 🙌

Special shout-out to the new General Manager for Turning Point Support Michelle Dolan for meeting with our team last week. A great company, a great leader. We are proud to work with you!
