Who we are
Connect2Group is a not-for-profit organisation providing whole-of-life (work, home & play) community connectedness and development of people with disabilities.
How we do it...Our Values
Client involvement and Empowerment
Our clients have control of their program and outcomes. We support our clients to have power over their life and its direction.
Rights not charity
We believe that our clients have the right to receive the services they need to participate fully in the community
Empathetic not sympathetic
We take the time to understand a person's disability but we focus on their abilities and the contribution they make to their community.
Mutual respect
Everyone has important things happening in their life. Both staff and clients have a proper regard for each other's tastes, opinions, lifestyle and position.
Mutually beneficial relationship with the community
The community provides the funds for us to operate our services. We invest some of those funds in programs that can benefit the local community - like the Oaklands Street Community Garden and the Community Arts Precinct.
Professional relationships
The client is to feel supported on a professional level by the Service - not on a personal level by the staff member. We maintain professional boundaries when we provide support.
Tailored services
Our services are person centred and customised to the needs and wants of the client.
Friendly environment
We look for ways to help and encourage each other. We work with confidence because we know we have the support of those around us.
Genuine commitment
We have a genuine commitment to the rights of people with disabilities to experience and enjoy the same learning and lifestyle opportunities that all community members have.
Considered planning
We invest time in planning our services and programs to ensure their ongoing viability and success.
