We are Phamily 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Why "Phamily"? It’s a play on our founder Matthew
Pham’s name, but it’s more than that: family
is a big part of why we do what we do.

Whether it’s youth mentoring, employment services or
community access, we’re never supporting just one
person. We’re supporting the whole circle around them:
parents, partners, siblings, children, the people who
cheer them on every day.

Our focus is always on the individual and their goals.
But when someone is supported to thrive, the effects
reach far beyond them.

Youth mentoring builds confidence, independence and
a strong sense of self. As young people take the lead in
their own personal care and are able to participate
more in household tasks, everyone shares in the sense
of achievement and space opens up for more quality
time together.

Employment services open doors to purpose, income
and belonging. A role that feels meaningful boosts
confidence and wellbeing, and added household
income brings more options, more security and more
possibilities for the whole family.

Community access creates connections, choices and
chances for joy outside of the home. It means new
friendships, interests and more to talk about, plus time
for carers to rest and recharge, protecting their
wellbeing so they can keep showing up with energy for
the people they love.

Across all of it, the good things multiply: better moods,
stronger independence, more quality time together and
more shared joy. Families have more energy for what
matters most because everyone feels supported.

Family is also the sincerity behind everything we do.
We show up for our participants’ goals like they matter
to us because they do. Every win, big or small, gets
celebrated properly, because watching someone get
there, and seeing what it means for the people who
love them, is exactly why we do this.

🌻 Most NDIS participants live with disabilities you can't see.

As a disability service provider, we sometimes hear from the people we support that they feel they need to "prove" to the public that they're disabled enough to be on the NDIS and have a support worker by their side, or that having a hidden disability can make it difficult for them to access the accommodations they need.

Remember: you can't tell what support someone needs just by looking at them. Disability isn't always visible and it shouldn't need to be to be accepted, respected, and accommodated. If someone has a support worker, that means they're getting the support that they need.

The sunflower is a universal symbol for hidden disabilities. If you see someone with a sunflower lanyard or badge, they might be showing that they have a hidden disability.

💛 P.S. If you're curious to learn more about hidden disabilities, there are some wonderful advocates out there doing brilliant work creating awareness. Drop your favourite disability advocates below in the comments, or if you live with a hidden disability yourself: what's something you wish more people understood?

On 29 September, Woodville Town Hall was buzzing with creativity, ideas and entrepreneurial spirit at the Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs Expo. Phamily Family Home Care Services was proud to be a sponsor of such a fantastic event.

We had a great day at our stall, making new connections and seeing all of the wonderful things that neurodivergent entrepreneurs are creating and achieving. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, share their story and connect with us.

A highlight was the panel discussion, Empowering Neurodivergent People in the Workforce, where Shannaka sat in for Phamily Family director Matthew Pham (who is currently on parental leave). Shannaka spoke about the strengths neurodivergent people bring to the workplace and what drives so many to self-employment. It was a valuable conversation, and a reminder that when workplaces make room for different ways of thinking, everyone benefits.

We were also thrilled to see one of our participants, Jenna Short, there with her cat accessories business, , and soon-to-be-launched inclusive pet store, 👏

Thank you to for creating such a welcoming and inspiring day. We can't wait for the next one!

September 10th is R U OK? Day

A conversation can change someone's day and sometimes their life. This year's theme, *Ask R U OK? Any Day*, is a good reminder that "checking in" needs to happen more than once a year. Ask someone R U OK?, especially people who are living with a disability, because everyone deserves to be asked, listened to, and supported. Any day.

Now to the statistics....

**People with a disability are significantly more likely to experience poor mental health.**

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 27% of adults with a disability experience high or very high psychological distress, compared with just 6.7% of adults without a disability.

**Why the risk is higher:**

🔹 Social isolation — reduced access to transport, inaccessible spaces, and smaller social networks can mean less regular contact with others.

🔹 Chronic pain and health burden — living with ongoing pain or complex health needs takes a real toll on mental wellbeing over time.

🔹 Discrimination and stigma — everyday ableism, being excluded or misunderstood, and having to constantly advocate for basic access all add up.

🔹 Financial stress — barriers to employment mean many people with disability face financial insecurity, which is one of the strongest known drivers of psychological distress.

**This is why our work matters**

The services we provide through the NDIS - youth mentoring, employment assistance and community access - are all about reducing isolation, opening doors to community and employment, and giving people the tools to live with dignity and connection. These supports all chip away at the risk factors above.

Thank you to Elise, one of our Youth Mentors, for this photo and for advocating for Mental Health today and everyday.

Thank you to everyone who attended the exhibition opening of "Where The Light Falls", celebrating months of dedication by the artists and organisers.

Special thanks to .wah for capturing the opening moments, .heaven for providing catering, and for decorations and support. Thank you to the and Minor Works Building Community Centre for selecting this exhibition as part of your arts programming, and to . Most of all, thank you to our four featured artists, Flaire Alfrey, Mikhael Crossfield, Erina Davey, and William McIver.

Visibility is what "Where The Light Falls" is about. We all have things we want seen and things we keep in shadow. Art is one of the few places where that negotiation happens on the artist’s own terms.

Who is given the spotlight, and whose work reaches gallery walls, reflects the decisions, structures, and biases of institutions that have long left many artists in the shadows. But step inside the work itself, and the dynamic shifts. There, the artist controls what they want the audience to see, what the eye is drawn to, and where the light falls.

The opening featured an introduction by project coordinator Shannaka Houghton, acknowledgements from Phamily Family director Matthew Pham, an artist talk by Flaire Alfrey, and a screening of the short film "Contrasts" by Mikhael Crossfield. Attendees also had the chance to engage with all four featured artists.

"Where The Light Falls" is presented by Phamily Family Home Care Services in partnership with The City of Adelaide, as part of the SALA Festival. It will be on display until September 23rd.

We are beyond excited to present our upcoming art exhibition Where The Light Falls at Minor Works Building Community Centre

Where The Light Falls is a multi-disciplinary art exhibition featuring four emerging artists: Erina Davey, William McIver, Flaire Alfrey and Mikhael Crossfield. Presented by Phamily Family with support from the City of Adelaide as part of SALA Festival 2026.

The artists in Where The Light Falls each have a distinct relationship with light and colour in their practice. Together their work forms a conversation about what light does, aesthetically and symbolically.

Available to be viewed from 27th July - 23rd September during the community centre's opening hours.

Minor Works Building Community Centre, 22 Stamford Court, Adelaide SA 5000

Our first-ever Phamily reunion!

It's not every day our whole team gets to be in the same room, but recently made it happen!

We gathered at Septimus Cheese & W**e Bar and celebrated the occasion with a cake that said "Happy 1st Family Reunion" (a little pun on our name 😉).

Looking around the room, it was clear to see how much we've grown. More hands, more hearts, more capacity to show up for the people we support. 💙

That means we're now able to welcome more participants for Youth Mentoring. If you know a young person with a disability who could benefit from some extra support, connection, and empowerment we'd love to hear from you.

Here's to family, growth, and the work ahead.
