Hi there I’m Anil. I am a human being who embraces people for whoever they are. I am a carer of an autistic individual and a carer peer support officer at Different Journeys. I like working for DJs because I can be myself and I don’t have to put on any kind of mask. I am respected by all my colleagues and they embrace me for who I am and the diversity that I bring with me. The carer support work is very rewarding, to be able to use my lived experiences and walk alongside carers in their journey. I find it best to use a strengths-based approach in an environment that promotes mutuality for the carers and me, improving the quality of life for our carers.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Different Journeys acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
