Liam’s Story

Liam joined CLRS in April 2025 as a Direct Support Professional. Prior to this, he spent three years working as an independent support worker for a young boy with a disability — a role he balanced alongside his studies until completing Year 12 in 2024. 

What initially drew Liam to the disability sector was the opportunity to form meaningful, one-on-one connections. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact you can have on someone’s life.”  

 “One of the things I’ve really enjoyed is how welcoming and supportive everyone has been – the leadership team and staff are really approachable, which has made settling in so easy.” 

Reflecting on his journey, Liam shares “working in this field has helped me discover strengths I didn’t know I had. It’s given me a much deeper understanding of what empathy looks like and I love the fact that every client teaches you something new about patience, communication and perspective. “ 

Looking ahead, Liam plans to begin his deferred university studies in social work in 2026, building on the valuable experience he’s gained at CLRS.
