Social and life skills at HAND
Wilston
There's something for everyone at HAND. You'll enjoy a wide range of activities from cooking, to computer skills, to woodwork and everything in between.
Real and Diverse Theatre (RAD) have been hard at work, practising their lines and immersing themselves in their roles ahead of their October production, Quavers. This will be the third major stage production by the Centacare-supported inclusive theatre ensemble, who rehearse each Thursday as a key part of the program at our HAND Social and Life Skills Hub in Wilston.

For five years Jamie worked tenaciously with her support workers, chipping away at her goal little by little and, in August this year, the 25-year-old from Ferny Grove came up trumps. This Disability Action Week (26 November – 2 December) Centacare is celebrating the incredible achievements and contributions of Queenslanders with disability and we met with Jamie to talk about her new-found freedom.
