Mark makes the most of his Independent Living Support with Distinctive Options by exploring new adventures in the community.

Mark recently visited Crown Melbourne to enjoy a game of mini golf at Holey Moley with support worker Mandy. The course here includes interactive games as well as mini golf - so you're mixing up the challenges at each and every station!

Aside from his city trip, Mark also enjoyed an outing to Morning Melodies in Sunbury with support worker Leesa, where he loved the live show and tasty lunch!

Banana Bread bonanza!

Corinne, Rachael, Amelia, Kiara and Katherine from Distinctive Options Sunbury chose to bake healthy banana bread together — and it turned into more than just a delicious treat. 💬✨

From measuring and mixing to decision-making and taste-testing, everyone played a part. Activities like this build life skills, improve self-confidence, support independence, and encourage teamwork.💛

Certainly worth celebrating with a slice of freshly cooked banana bread a hot cuppa!

Footy season final!!

A huge shoutout to Jack, Riley, Nam, Brooke, Harry, and Ben who proudly
represented Distinctive Options at the Reclink Australia AFL Grand Final! 🙌

The Sunbury Phoenix went head-to-head with the Geelong Powercats at
Peanut Reserve, St Kilda. Our crew showed amazing teamwork, epic skills,
and unbelievable support for their teammates on and off the field.

While the game didn’t go our way, spirits stayed high – especially when
Dyson Heppell, AFL legend, presented the medals! 🥇 ✨

Aiden was also thrilled to catch up with another AFL legend - Billy Brownless!

The smiles on everyone's faces reminded us that community sport is as much about participation, connection and friendship as it is about keeping fit and active.

A big thanks to Reclink Australia, support workers Olivia and Charli and to
all the family, friends, and staff who came to cheer the team on. 💛🔥

🌼 Festival time in Kyneton is blooming lovely! 🌼

Cameron took the lead in planning another brilliant day out — this time to the Kyneton Daffodil & Arts Festival! 🌼🎨

He was supported by Independent Living Support Worker, Jacquie, for a fun-filled adventure.

☕ First stop: A visit to hidden gem Pollen Café on High Street where they enjoyed a fantastic chai latté and admired the festival winning Best Scarecrow Fields Of Gold.

🌿 Next up: Exploring two beautiful open gardens, including a private garden and the stunning Malmsbury Botanical Gardens.

🌻 Cameron had a ball following the Scarecrow Trail, spotting some very clever and creative entries along the way!

Join in the fun this Sunday when the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival holds its legendary Grand Parade in the main street at midday! Cameron will be there!

Our participants, carers, staff, customers and supporters are the heartbeat of our community, and we’re proud to encourage open, honest conversations that support mental health and wellbeing.

R U OK? is a national health promotion charity that reminds us all of the power of connection. A simple question — “Are you OK?” — can make a real difference in someone’s life.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

And to our valued staff, please take a moment to explore our confidential in-house EAP (Employment Assistance Program) which is packed with helpful tips and resources : )

Ladies Day Out! 🌸💄📸

This day was all about self-expression, confidence, and fun as Rachael, Kiara, Katherine, Erin and Corinne from Distinctive Options Sunbury enjoyed a full makeover experience — complete with hair, makeup, and a lively photo shoot in the garden!

Surrounded by bright spring poppies, everyone had the chance to express themselves in their own way and celebrate what makes them unique.

Programs like these are centred on choice, inclusion, and independence. Each participant made their own decisions, enjoyed the camaraderie of the group, and walked away with beautiful memories — and some fabulous photos! — that truly reflect their individual personalities.

A perfect reminder that confidence blooms where people are free to be themselves. 🌼✨

All Aboard! 🚆✨

Cameron was full of excitement as he planned his visit to the Harry Potter: Interactive Exhibition through the Fever website.

With a bit of support, he navigated the event page and got everything set for a magical day out.

This trip marked another step in Cameron’s journey toward greater independence.

He travelled from his hometown of Kyneton, making use of Metro Trains Melbourne and V/Line a fantastic way to continue building confidence and travel skills.

The exhibition itself was the perfect indoor activity, full of wonder and discovery. A great day out and a great learning experience!
