We’re still a little blown away to say that GROW

We’re still a little blown away to say that GROW Disability Support has been named Tasmania’s Disability Support Service of the Year 2025 at the Tasmanian Disability Awards.

We were also lucky enough to be nominated for Child Support Service of the Year and School Holiday Support Service of the Year which in itself is such an achievement, as well as two staff members being nominated for Support Worker of the Year!

When I think back to 5 years ago, starting with just one participant and one staff member, it’s pretty incredible to see where we are now. The growth of this team has been unreal, not just in size, but in the heart and dedication every single person brings.

This award belongs to the whole team. Every shift, every camp, every late night, every little effort adds up and it’s what makes GROW so special. I couldn’t be prouder of everyone who’s been part of this journey. 💙

Exciting things happening in the next couple of months too! follow along as we’ll be sharing updates soon. ✍️✅

🌟 We’re Finalists! 🌟

We’re incredibly proud to share that GROW Disability Support has been named a finalist in two categories at the 2025 Tasmanian Disability Awards:

🏆 Disability Support Service of the Year
🏆 Child Disability Support Service of the Year

This recognition means the world to us and reflects the commitment, compassion, and hard work of our entire team and the incredible young people and families we support every day.

Thank you to our community, staff, and supporters for helping us grow into the service we are today. We’re honoured to stand alongside so many inspiring organisations and individuals across Tasmania. 💙

We want to extend our congratulations to all the nominees and winners from last night’s 2024 Tasmanian Disability Awards. We’re incredibly honored to have been recognised in two categories: School Holiday Program of the Year and Child Disability Support Service of the Year.

We are thrilled to announce that we won the 2024 School Holiday Program of the Year! 🏆 This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every single one of our team members, who have committed themselves not only this year but since 2020. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us, especially the nominators who believed in our mission.

Over the last 7 weeks since our last post, we’ve had the privilege to hold 9 Respite Camps in 9 different locations in both Tasmania and Victoria 😃 - making that 19 different locations that we’ve held respite camps this year!

New friendships are being made as well as new skills developed to help achieve personal goals and overcome challenges.

Attached is a few photos that we’ve collected along the way!
