Isaiah's Story

Isaiah is a proud, strong, and resilient Aboriginal man who faced one of life’s toughest challenges – homelessness. In early 2025, he found himself without a place to call home, unsure of where to turn or how to begin rebuilding his life. As his circumstances became more difficult, his motivation and self-esteem began to waver. Determined to change his path, he reached out to our DES team in Dubbo, ready to take the first steps toward rebuilding his life.

We supported Isaiah to strengthen his ties to his Aboriginal heritage and connected him with local community services, including housing organisations that provided short-term accommodation and assistance with rental applications.

Our team supported Isaiah to access his NDIS plan and referred him to an NDIS Coordinator to help him navigate the system and gain the support he needed. Despite the many challenges he was facing, Isaiah continued to show up – dedicated, determined, and committed to maintaining his employment. We remained by his side every step of the way, offering guidance and encouragement as he juggled personal barriers and work responsibilities.

Isaiah’s persistence paid off. He successfully secured a rental unit and began to rebuild not just a home, but a sense of pride and independence. In collaboration with local community organisations we also supported Isaiah to furnish his home and access essential household items and groceries.

Today, Isaiah is proudly employed in the hospitality industry and we continue to support him with regular ongoing on-the-job support as he builds his confidence and moves forward in his employment journey. 

With consistent hours, a reliable income, and a place to call home, Isaiah has found the stability and confidence he once thought was out of reach

In Isaiah’s words:

"The ongoing support from Omnia Inclusive saved me from going down the wrong path. They have supported me all the way - they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. They continued to encourage me to stay strong and take one day at a time, making it possible to achieve my goals. Terri-Lee constantly told me, ‘Never give in, never give up, and take one step forward at a time'. I now have my own place to call home and have gained my independence. Without them, I’m not sure where I would be today.”

Isaiah’s journey is a powerful reminder that with the right support, guidance, and determination, even the toughest chapters can lead to inspiring new beginnings.
