ABOUT
SHARED STEPS
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Shared Steps was founded by Jacob Thew, a dedicated support worker with four years of experience in the disability sector and a Certificate IV in Disability Support. Throughout his work, Jacob saw the need for a service that focused not just on support but on real connection and personal growth.
He envisioned a place where young adults with disabilities could build strong ties to their community, develop meaningful life skills, and feel proud of their progress. That vision became Shared Steps, a space where participants are supported to grow as individuals and reach their goals, their way.
WHERE WE OPERATE
