We genuinely care

With over 65% of our leaders and workforce having a lived or living experience of mental health or disability, either personally or through caring for a loved one, uniquely, we understand!

We understand the leap of faith people make when they decide to bring supports into their life and their home.

Sunnyside Australia is a values-driven organisation and welcomes new team members based on their skills, qualifications and how well they align with and live by our values.

Relationships are important. We take our time to get to know each person. Once we understand what is important and helpful, we work together to personalise support that is just right.

What’s Important To Us?

Trust, integrity and respect. 

‘We respect each person’s right to make decisions about their own life and don’t judge. We know our place and view each person as the captain of their own ship’.

We help people belong, find real inclusion, and participate in the social and economic life of their community.

We work in ways which encourage hope, insight, independence and capacity building while exploring life, having fun and making memories!

I have been supported by Sunnyside for nearly 4 years now. My life changed for the better when Danni and Sunnyside came into my life. I had never experienced anyone care so much, and so purely from the heart. Sunnyside are more like family than support workers. They have always been there for me and I will forever be grateful to have them in my life. They are like my Guardian Angels.
