NAIDOC Week at Royal Rehab LifeWorks.

NAIDOC Week is a time to reflect, to listen, and to honour the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the world’s oldest continuing cultures.

This year marks a significant milestone: 50 years of NAIDOC. The 2025 theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” is a powerful reminder that the future is being shaped by young First Nations leaders, grounded in the strength of their ancestors, inspired by the vision of their communities, and driven to carry forward a proud legacy.

We recognise that true healing extends beyond the physical. It’s about connection, to land, to culture, to each other. It's about listening to the voices of First Nations people and supporting a future shaped by self-determination, cultural strength, and community-led leadership.

As we mark this milestone NAIDOC Week, we reaffirm our ongoing commitment to reconciliation, standing with First Nations peoples in their continued fight for justice, equality, and recognition. And we celebrate the next generation: strong, visionary, and ready to lead.

Together, we honour the past, stand with the present, and look ahead with hope.

Today marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week 2025. It's a time for all Australians to reflect, learn, and take meaningful steps toward a more united future.
Royal Rehab LifeWorks acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of this land, and we pay deep respect to Elders past, present, and emerging. Their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community continues to enrich our nation.
This week reminds us that reconciliation is not a single moment, but an ongoing journey. A truly reconciled Australia can only be realised when First Nations peoples are empowered to contribute equally and meaningfully to our national life.
At Royal Rehab Group, we are committed to deepening our understanding, strengthening relationships, and embedding sustainable, long-term actions that drive real change across our organisation and beyond.

A milestone moment for James!

Since beginning his rehabilitation at Royal Rehab LifeWorks Townsville in early 2024, James has been working on upper limb therapy with a personal goal in mind—getting back to playing the guitar.

Through regular sessions focused on hand and arm function, James recently reached a meaningful goal: independently picking up his guitar again and playing.

With support from his therapy team, he’s continuing to set new goals and build on his progress. We’re so proud of James and thrilled to be part of his rehab journey.

At Royal Rehab LifeWorks, we’re proud to be part of the Royal Rehab Group, where women make up 70% of our workforce and play a vital role in shaping the future of health and disability services.

Yesterday, we joined colleagues from across the Group for an inspiring panel discussion, hosted by our COO, Denise Thomas. The panel featured women from within Royal Rehab as well as those who have made a significant impact in their fields. The conversation was real and unfiltered—covering the challenges women face in their careers, the importance of embracing discomfort, and the power of backing yourself. The key message? Ask for support, push past doubt, and always lift up those around you.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this meaningful discussion. Here’s to breaking barriers and supporting the next generation of women in leadership!
