Founder Ewan has worked in aged and disability care since 2007. His pathway into disability support became deeply personal when he employed a young man living with cerebral palsy named Phillip.
Over the years, Phillip and Ewan’s working relationship grew into a lifelong friendship, and the holidays they shared together became the moments Ewan looked forward to most. Those trips (the planning, the anticipation, and the joy of getting out and doing something meaningful) planted the original idea for BucketList Dreamtime. Phillip Brown, a mate who helped shape the heart of what this business stands for.
Phillip showed, through everyday life and the trips shared together, how powerful it is to have the right support to get out into the world and enjoy it fully. With gratitude and respect, Ewan credits Phillip as the inspiration behind BucketList Dreamtime.
BucketList Dreamtime will organise travel to where ever your Bucketlist dreams want you to go. In group setting or Individual trail road trips or adventures, whatever your desire is we will endeavour to make it happen.

Konnect Em Services Pty Ltd., we are a registered NDIS service provider, based in Cairns. I am excited to embark on this new journey. Although new, I have a strong team of dedicated and experienced workers who have been in the industry for quite some time who share the same passion as I.
My background is in child protection and behaviour support practice in NDIS. I have a Master’s in Social Work, Graduate Certificate in Human Services Management, and a Bachelor’s in Business – HRM.
I am originally from Papua New Guinea (PNG) and have been in cairns for the past 23 years.
In saying this, I’m proud to say that majority of my team are from PNG and are hard workers and are passionate about the helping and caring work and services they provide. They believe that it’s important to connect with the participant and truly deliver work from the heart in a consensus and collective way.
Our motto that describes the guiding principles of the company, derives from the ‘Motu’ language of Papua New Guinea; Bahetura, Baheduru, Bahavaraia.
Bahetura means ‘relationship’ – We believe it is vital to have a good relationship with the people we support. Having good relationships creates respectful friendship and connections that help to inspire positive outcomes and builds trust that allows our participants to have the confidence to count on us. We honour these qualities in our services by strongly incorporating good relationship traits of awareness, empathy, communication, dependability, accountability, and honesty.
Baheduru means ‘support’- It takes courage, faith, and confidence for one (worker) to be patient enough to provide care services for an individual in need of support to help them achieve their goals, especially in the disability sector. We believe this plays a big part in social change and growth when we deliver support services with care, integrity and congeniality that promotes equal opportunity to help build a sense of confidence in people as they cultivate a sense of belonging.
Bahavaraia means ‘success’ – We pride ourselves with the quality of services we provide in caring for our participants and successfully meeting their short and long-term goals. We do this with a holistic approach in considering their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. We promote a culturally safe and appropriate practice standards to our First Nations people and the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background people and celebrate with them the small and big wins. However, our services are tailored around a person-centred approach that promotes the client’s best interest, choice, and control on how, where and when they want to achieve the best outcomes through a collaboration effort.

Abilifly has a range of social and community-based programs aimed at improving client’s engagement in the community.
This could include Arts and Crafts, Creative Writing, Fishing, Gardening, Boating and Stress Relief Swimming activities.
Live Learn & Laugh originated from two streams of thought. Firstly, Di Payne’s (Owner) vision of Disability Empowering Disability and DSW feedback reflecting very little opportunity for networking with other DSW’s.
Bringing the two concepts together has evolved into a monthly “Drop-in” session for BOTH the Participant and their Support Worker.
What does the “Drop-in” session look like?
Tea, coffee and yummies on arrival
Say “hello” circle – Introduce yourself to others
Stroll around the garden and take a peek at the fishponds
Say hello to Daffy the Duck
Find a spot in the garden and enjoy some light refreshments
You may want to do:
a Crossword or Wordsearch
a painting on canvas
a craft activity
nothing more than sit in the shade and have a chat
This is also a great opportunity for Support Workers to network with each other and share their knowledge and experience.
Di’s daughter Sally, will facilitate the session with help from her Support Worker at her home in Bayview Hts. The bathroom isn’t wheelchair friendly but do come check us out.

🟠 Be supported in making the transition from school to adult life
We have an amazing team of dedicated and experienced staff and we conduct recruitment of new staff on a regular basis. Many of our staff have completed their Certification III in Individual Support and we have also put many of our staff through high intensity workshops so they have the required skills to support individuals who need that extra level of care.
Housing and accommodation - Supported accommodation for you
For those times when everyone just needs a break, we provide 24-hour support in accommodation at our Cook St house in Atherton.
The house provides overnight care, 7 days per week. With up to four clients able to stay at a time, the house has built up a reputation of being a caring, supportive and enjoyable “home away from home” for people living with a disability.
Clients are encouraged and supported to participate in a variety of activities whilst at Cook Street, both indoors and outdoors. Some activities we offer at Cook Street include:
🟠 Access to a sensory room
🟠 Music sessions
🟠 Craft sessions
🟠 Fun days with BBQ’s and games
🟠 Outings into the community and local attractions including Tinaroo Dam, Lake Eacham, local parks and whatever other activities or events are being held
Younger clients at the home often feel they have gained some independence away from their families whilst their parents have peace of mind knowing that their child is being appropriately supported.
Our support at Cook Street is based on a 1 support worker to 2 clients (1:2) ratio, however, we have the ability to scale down to 1:4 or up to 1:1.
Supported independent living for you
Disability Matters manages supported independent living (SIL) houses where housemates are provided with 24/7 support. This is their home!
Supported independent living is a wonderful opportunity for people who wish to live their own life, have the company of a housemate/s and there is the comfort and reassurance that care and support is in place all day every day.
Our support workers provide assistance with banking, shopping, domestic chores and skill development if and when required. Assistance and support are provided to enable the residents to pursue their own particular interests, and become contributing members of their community. This support strengthens the client’s independence and gives peace of mind to their, often elderly, parent carers.
Disability Matters can source a home for those who are interested in pursuing this option. We will guide you through the NDIS pathway to gain the required SIL funding and if required also find you a compatible housemate.
If you are interested in SIL in the future, but not quite ready yet, we can place you on a ‘waiting list’ for when a vacancy becomes available in one of our existing houses.
