It’s what we stand for and why we exist. It drives our passion and inspires us to do better and be better, every day.
Sunnyside was founded on lived and living experience. We wanted to ‘ be the change we wanted to see in the world ‘ and create a sunny-er future for people with disability.
We understand. We don’t judge and our good-hearted humans passionately choose people and quality over profit, every day of the week!
We LOVE what we do, and if you love what we stand for, join us on the sunny-side!
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!
We understand that people are generally doing the best they can with the knowledge, skills, and resources they have.
We seek to support people to find and unleash their own ME power to make their own choices about how they want to live their life.
Trauma Informed Practice recognises the prevalence of trauma and creates an understanding and responsiveness to the impact trauma has on individuals and communities.
