Hope in Action: Sistability’s Specialised Cleaning Service for “Sandy”
“Sandy” (name changed for privacy) is an NDIS participant living in government housing in the Northern Rivers. She lives with several complex medical conditions that affect her ability to manage her home environment. These conditions significantly influence her capacity to maintain hygiene, organisation, and general home upkeep on an ongoing basis.
Over time, the challenges of daily living became overwhelming, and Sandy’s living conditions deteriorated beyond what regular support services could manage. Her home had reached a level that presented health and safety concerns for her and those supporting her.

We’ve always believed in empowering women, whether by providing meaningful employment opportunities, supporting mothers returning to the workforce, or creating a culture where women can thrive personally and professionally.
