Lukas partnering with Baptcare and NDIS for excellence

Baptcare’s mission of partnering for fullness of life flows through our NDIS partner work. We start by asking the people we work with, ‘Tell us what a good life would look like for you, and what we can help with to make this happen?’

Lukas, a young man living in Launceston, is a great example. “My Local Area Coordinators at Baptcare have helped answer the many NDIS questions me and my family have had,” Lukas said. “Knowing those supports are available if I ever need them again, I can look to the future.

“As someone with a disability, I shouldn’t let it define me. I can craft how I want the world to see me. In other words, I want people to judge me for my abilities, not my disabilities. Instead of going into the world saying ‘Hey, I have a disability,’ I’ve started going into the world saying, ‘Hey, this is me, and I can do this to the best of my ability.’”

With the support of Baptcare and NDIS Lukas has attained a qualification in Information and Communication Technology at UTAS and is now working as an IT technician, doing himself and his family proud.
