TESTIMONIALS
From 2021 to 2025, Mathew supported my brother, who has complicated mental and physical health issues. These include schizophrenia, neuroleptic induced parkinsonism, and early onset dementia, all of which Mathew has handled with absolute compassion and empathy, professionalism dedication and care.
Mathew has always been extremely reliable in his support of my brother, including taking him out from his nursing home into the community to interact, shop, movies, visiting museums, trips to the city, public transport trips and to medical appointments.
Mathew stepped up when he noticed safety risks, handling incidents with ease and professionalism and keeping me and the family informed.
Mathew’s confidence in handling my brother’s disabilities and his ability to befriend him as well was very comforting for me and my family.
We were blessed to have had Mathew for four years supporting my brother. I do not hesitate to recommend Mathew as a most loyal, trustworthy and capable employee and support worker.

I have known Mathew for six years, first as a colleague and later as his team leader when we worked together as Support Coordinators at an NDIS provider. From the beginning, he stood out for his kindness, patience, and genuine effort to support both clients and colleagues.
Mathew consistently showed a calm and client-focused approach, especially when working with people who were distressed or frustrated. He listened carefully, reassured clients, and helped them move forward with confidence. Colleagues valued his steady presence and thoughtful input in team discussions.
After this role, Mathew started Boost Health and Wellbeing as a Support Worker. In my own business, Mild Minds, I often recommended him to clients, knowing they would receive high-quality support. The feedback was always positive, clients described him as reliable, encouraging, and someone who helped them recognise their strengths.
Mathew combines strong professional knowledge with genuine care. He is skilled in NDIS compliance, report writing, and risk management, and he communicates with clarity and empathy. Most importantly, he is trustworthy and deeply committed to the people he supports. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role that requires professionalism, compassion, and client-focused care.
