Tre’s dream and goal since the age of 13yrs old was to get into modelling and be a model for clothing.

Tre said that until now he has not had the support to follow this dream!

With the support of the NDIS and his Complete Nursing and Home Care support person Tre has the support now needed to follow up on his modelling dream. With the support of his support workers Tre has commenced putting together a portfolio of photos which he has been sharing on Instagram and other social media in the hope that an agency might see his potential and kick off his modelling career. Tre will continue to expand his portfolio of photos with the assistance of his support worker.

Tre is also exploring other options such as approaching modelling agency and exploring opportunities to engage in a modelling course to increase his chances.

Tre wanted to share a photo recently taken for his portfolio, we are very excited for Tre as we know how passionate he is about progressing towards a career in modelling.

Further to recent communications, we can now confirm – based on advice from the
Commonwealth Government that disability workers are eligible in the current phase
(Phase 1b) of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. This phase of the rollout commenced from
the 22nd March, 2021.
Having the vaccine is completely voluntary and also completely free.

An online training module is available on infection control for care workers across all sectors in preparing for COVID–19.

1. CNHC is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. I always have good conversations with my carers and CNHS staffs.
2. CNHC is client centred. Support workers have treated me with care, attention and courteousness. My support workers have always put an emphasis on my right to choose my goals and interests.
3. With Complete Nursing, I feel safe, stable and secure. I trust CNHC support worker’s ability and skills in supporting me. The carers I have are well trained and experienced in this sector.
4. With CNHC, I feel relaxed because I feel like I have the freedom to do what I want to do like going out in the community while my daily needs and tasks are well supported.
5. CNHC support workers respect me for who I am and what I am. I feel accepted and treated with care without any judgement.
6. CNHC is composed of individuals who are not bossy and flexible. They always consider what I want before they do something else especially things that directly affects me. Hence, it makes me feel that I’m still the one in control.
7. Complete Nursing makes me feel like a valued client. They always respond to my concern on time ensuring my needs are met.
8. My support workers communicate to me with clear & polite manner. They also showed attentive listening to me while I am talking to them.

It’s that time of year again, another year has gone by and we would like to say a big thank you to all our wonderful clients and support staff. Complete Nursing and Home Care has seen some big changes throughout 2018 with many positive improvements in how we continue to provide excellent and safe care to all of our clients. Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.

From all the staff at Complete Nursing and Home Care.

The I Am Able initiative aims to address the marginalisation and discrimination of people with disabilities in the Commonwealth’s 52 countries.

The campaign involves educational outreach, myth-busting on social media, and leadership training for young people with physical, mental and learning disabilities.

Leading disability rights advocates involved in the campaign this week met with senior officials from the Commonwealth Secretariat in London.

Giving her backing to the initiative, Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General Josephine Ojiambo said, “The Commonwealth Secretariat will keep working side-by-side with the Commonwealth Youth Council and support initiatives like the #IamABLE campaign to ensure the voices of young people with disabilities influence both the Commonwealth and national development agendas.”

The Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Festival is a unique community event that promotes and celebrates physically active lifestyles for people of all abilities.

The festival offers Victorians with, and without, disability the opportunity to explore and experience accessible and inclusive sport and recreation through hands-on activities and information sharing.

Come and try every adaptive sport imaginable, meet Paralympians and discover the joy of movement at this free, accessible, family-friendly event.
