John shared, “It was great being in the video and sharing my story,” while Luke said, “It was good to talk about my job.”

Their Support Worker, Ian, praised the opportunity, noting, “It was such a great experience for them to be part of, and it has significantly boosted their confidence. I am immensely proud of the boys and how well they’re treated and respected by Voco Management and staff. It’s also fantastic to see two businesses come together to recognise and promote the value of people with disability in the workforce.”
