Unisson Disability - Hamilton

About

The most important thing you need to know about us… is Unisson.  It means what you think it means. No hidden or cryptic messaging. It is simple. At Unisson, we aim to work with you. Alongside you. In collaboration. In relationship. In unison.  There is one part that probably needs an explanation – the double SS. This is to retain a connection to our history and our previous name SunShine. When we talk about collaboration it means that your goals are our goals. Whatever you want out of life and however you want to go about getting there, we are along for the journey with you. Throughout the journey, we will focus on meeting your customised support needs and building a lasting and trusted relationship. We’re confident that relationships don’t just make the world go round, they make it a better place for all of us to live. We believe our people are different. We only employ good people, people who embody our values. Our people are the ones who want to make a difference in the world and know that small actions can create a big impact. We are the man who will let you go first at the checkout when you have fewer items. We are the woman who smiled at you with comfort when your young child had a tantrum in the shopping centre. We are the people that when we ask, ‘how are you?’ we stop and really listen to hear how you are. We are the people that believe a more inclusive world for people with disability is possible and we know our everyday actions will help create it.  As an organisation, we’ve been around forever! Well not forever but close to it, 95 years. We are proud of our history not because it means we are old, but because it means we have nostalgic and inspiring beginnings to lean on. Our beginnings which you can read about on our history page, continually inspire us towards our vision of a world where every person is welcomed – really welcomed, not just waved at. You can read about what is ahead for us in our Strategic Plan in a brief one-pager. We are excited about the future and all the great things that are possible when we work together - in unison.
