Our valued partners play a crucial role in supporting us to achieve positive outcomes for the children, young people, and families we support. Together, we actively champion the inclusion of children and young individuals with disabilities in various domains, including education, the performing arts, sports, and recreation. Our collaborative efforts extend across diverse settings, fostering meaningful engagements with our partners.
Thanks to the generous support of our partners, we can go above and beyond by providing pro bono assistance to children and young people without NDIS plans in certain circumstances.
Our esteemed partners share a passion for making a positive impact and contributing to social change for individuals living with disabilities. In return for their commitment, they enjoy enhanced brand exposure and experience heightened staff engagement and satisfaction. According to the 2023 Conscious Consumer report (by Be Partner Ready) 46% of Australians prefer companies to form a long-term partnership with a charity, providing cash and a range of resources to achieve a specific societal goal.
Join us in making a lasting difference and be a catalyst for positive change in the lives of those we serve.
Watch the videos below to see some amazing examples of the work we have been able to do with our partners.
Kids Sensory Music Café
Lifestart supports performances of Kids Sensory Music Café at the Sydney Opera House. This show introduces music and live performance to young children and their families. Lifestart families are given the opportunity to attend a relaxed performance, enhanced by sensory toys and a safe environment to explore during the performance. This is followed by coffee and cake and the opportunity to network and chat with other families.
True Grit
Lifestart and The Australian Ballet engage young people interested in the performing arts to participate in a dance and stage performance program. Participants enjoy group classes and build up to a live performance in front of family, friends and peers on the stage of the Sydney Opera House. Young people are given invaluable experience in the performing arts industry working with some of the biggest name companies in Australia.
Good Start Early Learning Centre Woodcroft
Lifestart partnered with Good Start Woodcroft over the course of 12 months, delivering practical inclusion training ‘on the floor’ as well as professional development sessions for the educators and staff. Good Start educators felt much more confident in supporting children with disability to participate and learn following the partnership. “A beautiful relationship with Lifestart helped us manage things in the room and helped us to support children as they needed” Vishu, Early Childhood Educator, Good Start Woodcroft.
We would like to thank the following partners for their ongoing support of our work.
