IBSS’ Co-Founders
Jinja and Tui, the dynamic duo behind IBSS, embarked on this journey after dedicating seven years to working full-time in a remarkable residential community and school for individuals with high needs in New Zealand. They collaborated daily with various professionals including behavioral specialists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists.
Upon returning to Brisbane in 2020, their goal was to impart their knowledge and expertise in holistic support for individuals, emphasizing a personalized approach for each person. They aimed to guide support workers on how to contribute to the participant’s team effectively to help them achieve their unique goals.
Passionate about support work, their mission is for participants, family members, and support workers to experience the value of quality support services when working with a dedicated team, motivated through seeing the participants achieve their goals and live their lives to the fullest.
Initiating a social group for teenagers and young adults was a great stepping stone for IBSS to achieve its goals. Whether it’s Tui and Jinja or a skilled support worker, someone is always present with the group to ensure each individual receives tailored support to reach their goals. With the dedicated IBSS team, every support worker is committed to finding new ways and concepts to continuously assist each person to their utmost potential.
Our support workers
They go above and beyond!
Our support workers see their role as more than just a way to earn a living. They celebrate each milestone, no matter how small, recognizing the immense effort and determination it took to get there. They foster a nurturing environment where teens feel safe to express themselves and explore their potential. Their commitment goes beyond the daily tasks; they invest emotionally, building strong, and trusting relationships. Through laughter, challenges, and shared experiences, they play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the young people they support, guiding them toward a path of courage, confidence and independence.
Our aim
Our aspiration is to create a strong and consistent community to help accomodate all participants. We include our Support workers, Family (including your family!), Friends and Therapist when necessary! We have seen and understand the significant need to have a strong net work around the people we support. We strive and excel in providing this to all participants in Brisbane and it’s surrounding areas.
