Brand Tas

"Everyone educates differently, and every service is different, but what’s important to me — whether it’s the mum, the nan, or the child — is to be that one supportive person in someone’s life."

"As soon as I sit in the saddle, I find that time slows down and I can just enjoy the moment. I’m fully focused on the horse.”

“Studying in Tasmania helped me get a job. The opportunities are good if you’re willing to study and work hard. And living here has given me a chance to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. It’s been a big change, but a really positive one.”

“It’s like a family really. I’m just one of many volunteers that keep the club running. I couldn’t do what I do without the help of a lot of other people around the club, so I’m very grateful."

“We get an opportunity to improve consumers' mental health, wellbeing, and personal recovery. And at the end of that journey, when they leave our service feeling much better, that brings a lot of joy to my practice and me as a person. I enjoy that.”

“In Tasmania, we are very lucky with what we have. That’s what made me want to come home. Even with the hard bits — it’s worth it.”

“It’s such an honour every time to wear the Tassie jersey, whether it’s for cricket of hockey: it feels like there’s a clear pathway in both sports, and playing for the state is a part of that."

“We’re known as being the friendliest orchestra. People genuinely care about each other. We can have a lot of fun."

“The more families that we work with, the better the environment is going to be because of that, so taking care of the people that are in the place that you live is just as important.”

“What I like about Tasmania is the beauty of nature, the slow pace of lifestyle, and the people. When I go to the coffee shop, they smile and have a chat. It feels warming. That’s what keeps me here.”
