"With the assistance of Good Turn Services our daughter Mackenzie was recently able to achieve one of her long time goals of spending time away from us (her parents) - every teenager's dream ! A skilled GTS support worker was identified who could support Mackenzie in our home and undertake all aspects of her care in our absence, including complex personal care, social engagement and transport. It was a great chance for Mackenzie to practice her communication and social skills to ensure her support needs were met. She really enjoyed and appreciated the independence this opportunity gave her. And needless to say it provided valuable respite for us. Everyone reconnected after the weekend break feeling recharged and confident. It is such a difficult thing to let your young person with a disability ‘go’. GTS understood what was trying to be achieved and supported us through the process, as well as organising the logistics of getting the perfect support person here to support Mackenzie. It was a first for us all and we really appreciated it !"

“Since my son Faron started Supported Independent Living SIL supports with Good Turn in 2021 he is doing really well. Faron’s support team is very caring and looks after his wellbeing 24/7. Faron visits us regularly and attends family events with his support workers. Faron has developed new skills and he is achieving his goals with the support from Good Turn team. ”

“To be able to call Good Turn team anytime I need assistance for my personal care makes a huge difference.”
