The Monuments

Honouring the
un-heroes among us.

The monuments symbolise the power of human connection and the mutual support that exists between a support worker and their customer: alone, they may falter, but together, they stand strong.

Designer and artist, Mark Braddock, developed the concept for the ‘relationship portraits’ to demonstrate the unique, strong bond and mutual support that exists between a support worker and their customer.

The striking artworks will be catalysts for conversations about the importance and value of support workers in our communities and encourage more people to create bonds of mutual support in their own lives.

Through greater awareness, the initiative also aims to dispel persistent stereotypes about the nature of support work and promote the fulfilling career opportunities available in the sector.

Celebrating real human connections.
