Turning of the Sod Ceremony

On Tuesday 14 March Minda celebrated the official Turning of the Sod ceremony to mark the commencement of Master Plan Stage 2 works. The event was held jointly with AEIOU Foundation, who will be building a centre for children with autism at Minda Brighton.

“AEIOU Foundation’s Brighton centre will provide children with support, education and therapy as part of its highly-successful, autism-specific early intervention program and we’re so pleased to welcome them to Brighton,” Cathy Miller says.

“With the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme it is now more critical than ever to establish partnerships with other sector-leading organisations, like AEIOU, to complement our own support model, and ensure South Australians and their families receive support when and how they need it, to achieve their goals and aspirations.”

Minda Brighton is set to become an intentional, mixed community village - an urban village that is unparalleled.

These are services and supports that are life changing, vital to the building of inclusive communities which achieve our vision, for people with disability to live enriched lives of their choosing.

“It is our mission to empower people with disability with choices, to create the life they want to live. Most importantly, it means listening to what people with disability want for their own lives and working with them, supporting them to realise their dreams,” Cathy says.
