Our Journey
Hi, we are Jack and Brandon, best mates of 14 years and are passionate about breaking down the stigma in a female dominated sector by creating an all male disability support company.
​
Our journey began on the football field, where our friendship formed instantly. It wasn't just our shared sense of humour and ethical values that brought us together, but also the fact that we both faced adversity and grew up predominantly without the presence of our fathers.

When I was 7, my dad developed cancer, he fought a hard battle, but I lost him at the age of 14. That sent me down a bad path and I feel I’ve had to do a lot of growing up, I truly believe that the best support workers have gone through their own bad experiences or hardship, and I know mine has shaped me into the man I am today.
I’ve been working as a support worker for over 5-years, and I was the one to convince Brandon to give up construction work, I remember the day Brandon came home from work covered in dirt and he expressed he wasn’t enjoying his work. I convinced him to do the study and hard yards to become a support worker so we could start our own business.
​
The name KD Community was inspired by one of my first clients Kent, 4-years ago a fit and healthy Kent suffered a brain injury rendering him disabled.

One minute he was living his best life and the next he had a lot taken away from him. It just shows that life can change in a moment. Disabilities can be from birth, an illness or an accident and people with a disability shouldn’t be discriminated against or be made to feel any less worthy. We want everyone to have the same opportunities.

We played football, we worked in construction, and we are deemed as masculine men by society, but we want to show what true masculinity is and that’s supporting others to live their best lives and putting other people first.
