“Getting drafted by the Saints was one of the best things to happen to me.”

Ben’s dream has always been to work in sports media and Wallara has supported Ben to build a pathway in that field. Ben joined the WallaraTV school of Media to learn video production, and he quickly took on the role of Producer of Wallara’s weekly radio show. Using his video editing skills, Ben was able to land an internship at St Kilda Football Club in their media department.

Clancy and Riley are identical twins who joined the gardening day program at Sages Cottage Farm.

The Grass Busters program enabled both Clancy and Riley to develop and build their skills further in gardening and property maintenance as well as building their work readiness and technical skills. From Grass Busters Clancy and Riley have moved onto bigger and better things gaining supported employment positions in Wallara’s Land Management Services division, doing work for customers such as St Kilda Football Club and Le Mans Go Karting.
