Good Sammy Enterprises
Good Sammy is a Western Australian not for profit founded in 1958 providing significant employment opportunities for West Australians living with disability. Everything we do across our organisation is motivated by this purpose.
At Good Sammy we offer options and give options to encourage people with disability to explore life. By introducing a hand-up, instead of a hand-out, our participants can determine their set goals, feel attached to their community, and be supported as they work towards independence. Our values reflect our aspirations and underpin everything we do.
What we do
At Good Sammy we currently employ over 265 supported staff in a variety of roles.
Our 27 op shops based from Albany to Geraldton are the public face of our organisation and allow supported employees to learn opportunities in the retail market, as well as process the ample donations we receive from the community.
We reduce waste and help the environment by recycling 6 million kg of used goods every year and as an official collection organisation for the Containers for Change program.
Our Good Sammy Options Team currently provide over 160 one-on-one mentorships and group activities developing life skills, building confidence, and creating pathways for employment.
Our business services give warehousing and logistics, packaging and assembly, and mailing services to the WA business community, while providing employment in a secure and organised environment.
We provide help and advice to people seeking help with the NDIS and ways to maximise their funding.
Why choose us?
Our clients and their family, carers and friends choose Good Sammy because we are a well-known and reputable WA brand. As a registered NDIS provider, we give excellent personalised services that help achieve individualised results. Prominently for families, we believe in providing options. Participants can be a part of our programs with any level of experience or skills – we know the most difficult part is sometimes working out where to start.
Good Sammy works together with participants to build confidence, independence, and skills to participate in work and life. With these foundations, we continue to assist you by providing opportunities as you move towards your employment goals.
Our team choose us because they align with our vision and want to make a difference - both in the lives of West Australians living with disability and to reducing waste and protecting the environment.
Our corporate and funding partners choose us because we are well-known, we are West Australian and because they are motivated to join us in helping local people that have disabilities. Our reliable reputation and dedication to the WA community make Good Sammy a reliable partner for businesses looking to work sustainably and give back to their community.
