Bushlink: Local Leaders and Students Unite for Inclusion 🌱 On 25 November, MPs Michael Regan, Matt Cross, and Jacqui Scruby rolled up their sleeves at Oxford Falls Grammar School, joining Bushlink employees and students for some hands-on gardening as part of the Bushlink School Inclusion Program. This collaboration, led by Northside Enterprise's social enterprise Bushlink, highlights the power of inclusion, connecting people with disabilities with schools and communities to achieve meaningful work in bush regeneration and environmental care. Seeing MPs, students, and Bushlink employees come together to build relationships and transform the school grounds was nothing short of inspiring! We’re now looking to expand this program, seeking sponsorships, community support, and government backing to reach more schools and create new opportunities. As Bushlink CEO Duncan Wakes-Miller says, “Bushlink perfectly exemplifies how we can combine social impact with environmental sustainability.” Bushlink is also hiring! We’re on the lookout for supervisors and individuals with disabilities ready to make a difference.
