At Sunnyside, our organisational values serve as the guiding principles that shape our work and interactions. Rooted in compassion, integrity, and a people-centered approach, these values drive us to empower lives and make a positive impact. We prioritise the well-being of individuals we support, valuing their unique needs and aspirations. With a strong belief in self-determination and inclusivity, we strive to foster independence and create an inclusive environment where individuals thrive.

Good Hearted
We are good humans with good hearts. We listen with our ears, eyes & hearts and seek to understand - not judge. We celebrate success and keep people at the centre of all that we do. We respect, value, and invest in people. We are truthful. Integrity is everything and we'll do what's right even when no-one is watching. We keep people at the centre of all that we do. We look out for, value, and act in the best interests of our people, always.

Spirited
We are a spirited bunch of passionate people. We are joyful and dependable and see the glass as half-full. We support others to hold hope and find their joy too.
+
Humble
We are all about people. We work in partnership with others and see the people we support as the captain of their own ship. We know our place and help people to grow and build their capacity and self-advocacy skills. We respectfully speak our truth if it means better outcomes & lives for the people we support. We are about building independence. Our hope is that one day our support will be needed less.
+
Inclusive
We wholeheartedly stand for human rights, free will and for the inclusion of all people (and animals!). We assist people to grow their confidence and make decisions that impact their world, for themselves. We find ways to help people connect, participate & belong in the social and economic life of their community. We value the wisdom of living and lived experience and we bolster ways for these voices to be heard & understood.
+
Quality
We take time to understand a person’s individual needs, goals, and expectations. Delivering safe, homely & quality service always comes before profit. We are professional and support people with care and skill. We invite and accept feedback with gratitude. We reflect and look for ways to improve ourselves, our professional practice, and our organisation.
