Cameron, a team leader for our Support Work services, highlights the benefits and opportunities of accessing Support Work at Deaf Connect.
Cameron sees every day how support work makes a positive difference in Deaf and hard of hearing participants’ lives:
I look after the support workers so they can help our clients live an independent life,
From learning cooking skills to joining activities like swimming or craft programs, support workers help clients build confidence, independence and connect with community:
I see participants become happier, they feel supported to try out different things in the community, and it’s great to see.
A support worker supports you to:
- explore your skills and interests
- know about activities and events that you would like to attend and
- help you achieve your goals
Our support workers bring unique skills and Auslan fluency to offer you personalised daily living and social community participation support. Our friendly team have a variety of interests, skills and communication methods including Auslan, visual and deafblind communication to match your needs.

Hello, my name is Cameron and my role is the team leader of one-on-one Support. I look after the support workers so that they can support our clients to live an independent life. Sometimes that’s support with cooking skills, sometimes they support people to attend different activities like the pool or craft program. I see participants become happier, they feel supported to try out different things in the community. It’s great to see. If you’re thinking about booking a support worker, please get in touch with Deaf Connect and we can provide you with the information on how to apply for a support worker. Enjoy your day, bye.
