Different for everyone
Everyone has their own strengths and support needs. Jack’s story is his own.
About us · Jack’s story
Meet Jack.
The 16-year-old behind Jack’s Jobs.
Jack has Fragile X and is starting a gardening business in Canberra with the help of Tom, his support worker.
Together, Jack and Tom help with the small jobs that keep gardens looking cared for — from mowing and weeding to hedge trimming and tidy-ups.
Jack’s Jobs brings those everyday garden tasks together in a small local business, with Tom alongside Jack on each visit. It is a practical way to take on work in the community, one garden at a time.

A little understanding
About Fragile X.
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that can affect learning, development, communication and how people respond to the world around them. The effects vary from person to person, so a diagnosis alone does not tell you someone’s abilities or the support they need.
