From Dream to Reality: Tori’s Journey to Meaningful Employment     

At Mai-Wel, we believe that everyone has the potential to thrive in the workforce—and with the right support, meaningful employment can become a reality. For Tori, that dream was to work in a gym, and with the expertise of Tasha MacFarlane, she made it happen.

As a specialist in individualised employment within the Employment Services Maitland Team, Tasha goes beyond traditional job placements. She customises opportunities to align with the unique strengths, skills, and abilities of each jobseeker—particularly those with high support needs. Her flexible approach ensures that employment meets both the vocational and personal goals of participants while also addressing the needs of businesses.

Tasha worked closely with Tori to identify her career aspirations, facilitating a tailored employment plan that matched her with Maitland MMA & Premier Fitness Centre Rutherford. Through site walkthroughs, employer education, and ongoing support, Tasha ensured that Tori’s role was designed for long-term success.

Now thriving in her job, Tori is a testament to the power of individualised employment. “Beautiful Tasha helped me get my goal of working in a gym. Now she helps me to keep it, and she even visits me at my work. I love my job,” Tori shares.

Tasha’s dedication to breaking barriers and fostering inclusive employment has transformed the lives of over 200 individuals, proving that with the right approach, everyone can find a place in the workforce.

We are so proud of Tori and the impact Tasha continues to make in the community! 🌟
