🎙️ The latest episode of the Bayley Babble is timely in the lead up to Mother’s Day as we welcome Pat and Lesley from our Family and Friends group.

Our Family and Friends group began 75 years ago as a Mother’s Club that came together to provide extra support for Bayley House. Now, all of these years later, we are so lucky to still have this dedicated group who support Bayley House.

This is what inclusion looks and sounds like.

David and Mary, were recently invited by Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Australia & New Zealand to attend a relaxed performance by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer Hall. This was an evening featuring the music of Mahler and Tchaikovsky, designed to be genuinely welcoming to people who find traditional concert environments challenging.

They went to enjoy the music and also to share their feedback on what accessibility looks like in practice. Their reflections are a reminder of how much the small details matter when it comes to inclusion.

You can read the full story on our website via the link below.

Discover how accessibility in live music create inclusion and encourages participation for people with disability.

🏗️ Building Futures for SDA Participants in Victoria

Exciting progress is underway at our Specialist Disability Accommodation development in Parkdale, Victoria, with the project now at foundation stage and preparing for the slab pour.

This thoughtfully designed project will deliver:
🏡 3-Resident Improved Liveability Home
🏡 Sole-Resident Improved Liveability Villa

Each space has been co-designed with the future residents in mind, supporting independence, accessibility, and a genuine sense of home.

We’re proud to continue our collaboration with House , creating housing that empowers Participants to live more independently, stay connected to their community, and enjoy the security of a safe, long-term home.

At BlueCHP, it’s not just about building homes, it’s about enabling better lives 🫶
