Help Enterprises

We have officially opened our Help Nursery in Moreton Bay! An exciting step forward in expanding our social enterprise footprint and creating more meaningful employment opportunities for people with disability. With Moreton Bay’s rapid growth, this new site will support local procurement of high-quality plants while training and employing people with disability in the horticulture industry, helping them take the next step into their employment journey and towards greater independence. This site expands our current Nursery based at Mitchelton where we stock, grow, source, and nurture an extensive range of wholesale plants - from ground covers and natives to rare and exotic varieties. A special thank you to the Federal Leader of the Opposition and Member for Dickson, The Hon. Peter Dutton MP, and the City of Moreton Bay Councillor Cath Tonks for joining us at this special event. We’re also grateful to the City of Moreton Bay Trade and Investment Team and Cedar Glen for their invaluable partnership in making this project a reality. Watch the highlights and see how we’re growing both plants and opportunities! IntoWork Australia Brenden Brien #OneDoorToOpenMany #VibrantFutures #HelpNursery #SocialEnterprise

We take the time to understand our clients - their interests, experiences, and aspirations. Because meaningful employment starts with seeing the whole person. This approach is what sets us apart – by truly listening, we provide tailored support that helps each individual achieve their unique goals.

At Help, we know how much of a difference tailored support and guidance can make in helping people with disability achieve their employment goals. Take Hugh, for example. When he joined Help, he had a clear goal: to become a qualified locksmith. Our team worked closely with him to build his confidence and job-ready skills, ensuring he was prepared for the journey ahead. To start, we found him a customer service role, giving him hands-on experience and plenty of opportunities to engage with clients. Once he gained the confidence he needed, we contacted Inclusive Employer Bretts Trade Timber and Hardware and crafted a role in their locksmith division that was right for Hugh while also supporting the business’ needs. Additionally, we approached Mas National to explore apprenticeship opportunities and ensure a clear pathway for his career progression. With the ongoing support of a Help In-Work Support Mentor, Hugh transitioned smoothly into his locksmith position – setting him up for the next big step. The result? A seamless journey that led to Hugh securing his locksmith apprenticeship! By working together with his employer and Mas National, we helped turn his career goal into reality. Every person's employment journey is unique, and your support should be too. At Help, we shape opportunities around individual goals, ensuring individualised support at every stage. Watch Hugh’s journey in the video below and see how the right support can open doors.

More job opportunities for people with disability The opening of our Moreton Bay Nursery marks an exciting step forward in offering more jobs for people with disability in our Supported Employment program. At Help, we’re all about creating pathways for people with disability to find what they like so they can lead fulfilling and independent lives. Through hands-on training in the horticulture industry, we offer a safe and supportive workplace where Supported Employees gain skills, grow confidence, and connect with others – all while taking the next step into their employment journey and towards greater independence. Building on the success of our Mitchelton Nursery, this expansion not only brings more job opportunities but also increases the variety of high-quality wholesale plants available to support the fast-growing Moreton Bay region.

The importance of Supported Employment in building confidence and skills! At Help, Supported Employment is about providing a safe and supportive work environment where people with disability gain confidence, develop skills, and prepare for the future they want. Through our person-centred approach, our teams work closely with supported employees to work towards achieving their goals while nurturing their potential and guiding them through the process. Every task completed, skill learned, or milestone reached is a step closer to open employment opportunities. Mitchell is a shining example of this journey in action. As he worked in our Supply Chain and Dispatch teams, he flourished, developed new skills and built the confidence he needed to achieve his employment goal to join our manufacturing team – further strengthening his passion of working with his hands and building products. This, in turn, nourishes his confidence and skills even more as he prepares to move to open employment in the field. Stories like Mitchell’s, along with Ben, who is also preparing for open employment, highlight the power of supported employment in creating pathways to fulfilling careers. By focusing on individual strengths and providing tailored guidance, we’re helping people with disability take meaningful steps into competitive job markets. At Help, we don’t just open doors - we ensure the journey through them is one of growth, achievement, and independence so people with disability under our care can open as many doors as they want after that. #SupportedEmployment #OneDoorToOpenMany #InclusiveEmployment

It might feel early in the year, but now is the perfect time to start planning for school leavers with disability who want to explore employment opportunities. In our experience, we see so many students miss the window to secure NDIS funding for youth employment assistance in their plan before graduating high school. Since funding approvals can take several months, acting early is crucial. We encourage even Year 11 students to speak with their Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or planner about job-readiness and employment goals now. Early planning allows for a seamless transition from school to employment. At Help, we support young people with disability to develop the skills, confidence, and experience they need to build a future of choice. Whether it’s exploring job-readiness activities, creating routines, or gaining practical experience, we’re here to support them in their journey while still in school. If you have a client or loved one who may benefit from it, contact us today and learn more about how we can support them: https://brnw.ch/21wQs4a Let’s work together to create opportunities for young people with disability to thrive. #SupportCoordinator #DisabilityServices #YouthSupport
