Awards and Testimonials

My PCCS social worker was great at encouraging me on the journey and out of isolation. Social skills are like a muscle that needs to be exercised. Experience with groups helps build that muscle.

It is the first time in a long time, where I feel heard and understood. I feel I now have the confidence to move forward, and connect with new friends.

My PCCS social worker found a path for me, I couldn’t see it before but that’s the path I’m walking now, and it’s all positive! I have hope for the future – that changes everything.

My confidence to reach out for connection and support increased. I am more social, mobile and content. My recovery is under control and I’m planning a new future.

The more my isolation increased, my pain and hopelessness also increased. PCCS is a little like natural pain relief for your mind and body.

As well as enriching activities, the supportive group dynamic helped build my confidence to face the job interviews I was just launching into.

“I would not have accessed the NDIS without PCCS” said Helen, whose application was previously declined. With PCCS help, Helen’s access was approved within two weeks and she now has a plan and a support coordinator to assist the implementation.

Talking with my PCCS Social Worker and her support with what I’m going through is helpful. I’m not alone on this journey and I now know what services I can access.

“It’s the first time I’ve been out by myself in over a year!” With PCCS help, Charlotte used her NDIS funds to arrange an assessment, which recommended a dual-motor recliner chair and a bariatric four-wheeled walker.
