George Builds his Independence

Since moving from the UK to Australia with his family, George has been working towards his long-term dream to move into a home of his own. Over the past year, George made his dream a reality. The Individual Options team assisted George as he investigated housing options and made plans for living independently. While on the lookout for his new place, with the support of the AIM Employment team, George secured a job in construction and after enjoying the job and gaining further training, took the step to working full time. At the end of May, George moved into his own apartment and surprised his family with a visit to his new place. George’s mum, Jo says: “I am so thrilled George has made the move. I never really thought it would happen and it’s amazing to see him settling in and making a home of his own.”
