๐ŸŒž Week 7 Highlights โ€“ Fun, Creativity & Connection!

This week in our 12-week program, we continued exploring our โ€œSummer/Beachโ€, โ€œHealthy Mealsโ€, and โ€œGardeningโ€ themes.

๐ŸŽจ Make & Mingle: Our group got creative with sea creature painting and paper plate crafts, followed by manicure sessions for some relaxing self-care. New connections were made with our visiting art therapist, and everyone enjoyed expressing themselves through art.

๐Ÿฅ˜ Cook & Connect: We whipped up chicken & corn and spinach & ricotta filo parcels, plus banana smoothies! Clients took the lead on music, cooking, and socialising, practicing independence while learning new kitchen skills.

๐ŸŒฑ Garden Gurus: Gardening fun continued with watering plants, observing growth, and preparing for next weekโ€™s harvest. Board games, music, and colouring kept everyone engaged and smiling.

๐ŸŽฎ Explore & Gaming Hub: From picnic lunches and playground adventures to Scalextric, board games, and music, our group enjoyed socialising, trying new activities, and making the most of shared experiences.

On Wednesday night we officially launched the Through Your Eyes art exhibition!

We held a private event for our clients, their families, and our staff to come together and celebrate all the work and time that everyone has put into painting, planning, and preparing for this event. It was a beautiful night, and you can see some of the photos capturing the action from the night!

Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank you to the Hon. Jo Palmer MLC, Minister for Disability Services in Tasmania, who came out to help us celebrate the launch.

We are proud to be holding this exhibition, and we believe itโ€™s important to put a spotlight on what people can achieve if they have the talent, passion, and support to put their dreams into action. This exhibition doesnโ€™t just showcase art, but also the ability, ambition, and drive held by every person who has contributed to it.

Make sure you take some time to visit the Salamanca Arts Centre over the next few days and check out all the amazing art on display!

Meet Tiffany, our National Executive Manager of Service Delivery with Clinical Oversight!

Tiffany (or Tiff) has a background in clinical nursing, with over a decade of experience working in the high-pressure of Adelaideโ€™s hospital ICUs. Tiff thrived there, which isnโ€™t surprising given her passion for extreme sports: she was a regular competitor in the notoriously challenging Spartan endurance races and still loves watching extreme sports competitions outside of work.

Joining the Adelaide team in 2020 as a Support Coordinator, Tiff quickly established herself as a key member of the organisationโ€™s leadership team when she became a national manager. Now the same passion that helped her run Spartan races is used to help the leadership team run Total Support Services in her role as an Executive Manager overseeing delivery and quality of all client services. When directors Sandy and Matt are away, Tiff takes charge of day-to-day operations across our entire organization.

When I asked her what the stand-out things about her role are, she said โ€œSolid clinical foundation and experience. Advocating for clients. Getting great outcomes for clients.โ€

Of course, when introducing our team members, itโ€™s also important to ask them the important questions:

1. Trip to the beach or the hills?
Beach. I live in the Adelaide Hills

2. Crows or Port?
neither - I don't follow AFL

3. Footy or cricket?
neither - extreme sports

4. Cats or dogs?
Cats, dogs, and chickens

5. Favourite season?
Summer

6. Lastly, favourite SA icon? (Farmers Union Iced Coffee, Fruchoc, Frog Cake, Pie Floater, or Fritz)
Port Elliot Bakery

๐ŸŒฟ Total Support Services Out & About Review โ€“ Hamdorf Cafe Visit ๐Ÿนโ˜•

This week our Lifestyle & Recreation crew went for a trip into the Adelaide Hills to explore the beautiful Hahndorf - and met some furry friends along the way at Hamdorf Cafe!

Here's their recap of their day out (and their thoughts on the experience)!

๐Ÿ“ Location: Hahndorf
๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Visited: 26.2.24

๐Ÿš— Getting There
Easy to access if you park just down the street โ€” the main strip can be busy, but there are good car park options nearby. Just a short walk to the venue!

โ™ฟ Accessibility
The cafรฉ and toilets were very accessible and easy to navigate.
Please note: the guinea pig room is downstairs and accessed by stairs only.

๐Ÿšป Toilets
Accessible toilets are located down the side of the building and were accessible for our Participants.

โ˜• Food & Drink
Basic food options at great prices, with lovely coffee and friendly service. Perfect for a relaxed catch-up.

๐Ÿ’ฒ Value for Money
Great value! Only $5 to engage and pat the guinea pigs ๐Ÿน โ€” such a unique experience.

๐ŸŒŸ Staff
Super friendly and welcoming. The venue is run by Participants and Support Workers, which we absolutely loved seeing โ€” such a great inclusive employment model.

๐ŸŒณ Atmosphere
We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck under the trees โ€” beautiful shade and a lovely setting on a warm day.
On colder days, indoor seating may be limited.

โค๏ธ Overall Rating: 10/10 โญโญโญโญโญโญโญโญโญโญ
Our group enjoyed the visit! While it wasnโ€™t quite as high-energy as visits to the Big Rocking Horse or swimming days, it was still a lovely, relaxed outing.

What stood out most was the incredible initiative of a support service running a shop that creates meaningful work opportunities for clients โ€” such a fantastic concept to see in action. ๐Ÿ‘

Would we visit again? โœ”๏ธ Yes
If youโ€™re looking for a relaxed, accessible outing with good coffee, friendly faces, and a unique animal experience โ€” Hahndorf is always a beautiful day out ๐ŸŒฟ

Just over one week to go until โ€œThrough My Eyesโ€ opens its doors!

On the 5th of March, the Salamanca Arts Centre will be filled with colour, creativity, and stories told through paint, canvas, and lived experience. Every artwork youโ€™ll see has been created by our clients, Tasmanians living with disability. Each piece a reflection of their unique perspectives and voices.

This exhibition is more than a collection of paintings. Itโ€™s a celebration of expression, individuality, and the many ways people experience and interpret the world around them.

We canโ€™t wait to welcome you.

Register your interest via our Facebook event below, invite someone along, and come experience it for yourself:
