Like Family

Hi there, we're Like Family! This is our story. When our co-founder, Mat, was 26, his parents were diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses, which stopped them from connecting with their community and took away their independence. Our founders learnt that they weren't the only ones facing this problem and created Like Family to help people connect with passionate support workers who help empower them to enjoy their lives. We're glad to have you join our community!

...and action!🎬 We had an incredible time on set filming with our Members Elizabeth and Benjamin! Here are a few snippets of our day🙌 These little moments definitately meant more sharing them with our Members!

Little moments mean more when shared together ❤️ A recent survey we conducted showed that 61.7% of people with disabilities say that they don’t feel connected with others during the holiday season. But it doesn't have to be this way. 85% of Aussies with disabilities said that small gestures, like a message or greeting, would make their holiday season more meaningful and it's this message that we've aimed to capture in Like Family's 2024 Christmas Campaign. Sometimes, all it takes is someone by your side to make every day a little more special!🎄
