"How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

Reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.

And if you are in a choir - the Voices for Reconciliation 2026 song is the classic land rights anthem, Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil.

We could not have said it better ourselves... 🙌

“Home care is not a nice-to-have. It is fundamental to how Australians want to age. People want to remain in their homes, in their communities, close to family and friends.”

📢🎉We have been nominated for an Ageing Australia national You are ACE Award!

We have also been featured in an article about our approach to home care services, more info in the below post.👇

Celebrating excellence in home care.

When veteran journalist Robert Gottliebsen and his wife Barbara faced serious health setbacks, they needed more than care - they needed coordination, responsiveness and support they could rely on.

From home modifications to transport and personalised care, Country to Coast Home Care stepped in quickly, helping them recover safely and remain independent at home.

Country to Coast Home Care Services is now nominated for the Ageing Australia You are ACE! Awards, recognising excellence in home care.

Advance care planning benefits everyone: you, your family, carers and health professionals. You might like to reflect on what matters most this National Advance Care Planning Week, 16-22 March 2026 with some excellent free resources available at https://www.advancecareplanning.org.au/

Advance care planning involves planning for your future health care. It allows you to decide what health care you would or wouldn't want if you become unable to make or communicate your treatment preferences in the future.

Research shows that advance care planning improves the quality of care and personal and family satisfaction with care. Research also shows that advance care planning can reduce unwanted treatments and transfers to hospital.

This year National Advance Care Planning Week was held from 17 – 23 March 2025. However, every week is a good week to have a conversation with your loved one...
