Mataius Makes Moves in Gunnedah

August 14, 2025

With energy, humour, and heart, Mataius is embracing every opportunity to connect, grow, and thrive in his local community.

If you’ve ever met Mataius, you’ll know he’s always on the go—and always up for an adventure. Whether it’s a trip to the local motorbike track, a game of basketball, or a visit to the pony club, he brings a sense of fun and curiosity everywhere he goes.

Based at Sunnyfield’s Gunnedah community services hub, Mataius is building his confidence and exploring new hobbies in a supportive environment, designed to help him reach his goals. He’s a familiar face at inclusive sports days and community events, where his big smile and quick wit brighten up every space.

One of Matius’s personal goals is to strengthen his communication—and with support from the Sunnyfield team, he’s making impressive progress using a site board. This visual tool helps him express himself and connect more confidently with others, especially as he continues building relationships in the wider community.

For Mataius, every week brings a new opportunity: new faces to meet, new activities to try, and new steps toward greater independence.

He’s not just exploring Gunnedah—he’s shaping his place in it.
