In an exciting move to strengthen collaboration and inclusion across the Murraylands, Genuine Support Services Australia (GSSA) is bringing NDIS client’s, families, and service providers from across the region together for a night to remember.
Gabrielle Mackenzie, Managing Director of GSSA has organised a high-energy, Black & White Disco at The Bend on Saturday, May 31st, 2025.
Bee Bygrave, Gabrielle Mckenzie, Chantel Mackenzie and Wendy Pilmore all of Murray Bridge celebrating at the community All In Event held at Sturt Reserve, March 21, 2025.
Held in the Members Lounge at the world-class Shell V-Power Motorsport Park, the event aims to do more than entertain. “It’s really about bringing people together, making connections, encouraging collaboration, and showcasing what inclusive, high-quality community events can look like in our region,” Gabrielle said. “We are so happy with the support we’re receiving from other agencies, families, and individuals.”
The disco is part of Gabrielle’s broader mission to help NDIS clients get the most from their supports — and that includes creating social spaces where people feel seen, included, and celebrated.
“It’s not just about NDIS clients, we would love to see support workers, admin staff, coordinators, carers at the event — the night is for you too.”
“I am so grateful for the facilities team bringing our event to life for such a special occasion, and for the friendships and connections that have been made over the course of our discos,” Gabrielle said.
Catered by Rydges Pit Lane Hotel, the $20 ticket includes fine dining canapés, entertainment by DJ Zoe from Mix 102.3 FM, access to fun activities, and a guided tour of the motorsport museum and racing facilities — all while drift cars roar in the distance and track lights glow.
“Please let us know if you’ve got any song requests, just let Jess know in our office when you’re book your ticket,” Gabrielle said.
Dietary needs, carpooling interest, and other supports can also be arranged — just let the GSSA team know when you drop in at 6 Third Street, Murray Bridge.
The uniting disability disco team are encouraging people to book early so catering can be managed to ensure everyone’s looked after. Tickets at the door are strongly discouraged, due to recording of personal dietary needs and planned activities.
The night is set for a 5.30 pm start at the Shell V-Power Motorsport Park, 543 Dukes Highway, Tailem Bend - music kicks off at 6 pm, dress in what makes you feel best, or join in the Black & White theme.
“Let’s come together, celebrate music, dancing, community, and enjoy a night that’s all about connection, joy, and shared experience.”
