💙 Farewell to Our Amazing Alana – and Exciting Opportunities Ahead! 💙

It’s bittersweet news for us at TLC, our incredible Practice Manager, Alana, will soon be moving on to her next chapter.

Alana has been such a beautiful part of our practice, exemplifying leadership, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to TLC. She’s juggled the ever-demanding role of Practice Manager; while studying at university (and absolutely smashing it!); aswell as working remotely since moving interstate; with grace, growth, and a calm sense of humour that keeps our team grounded.

From building amazing relationships with referrers and clients, navigating client health needs, to the day-to-day of leading and supporting our team, Alana has done it all with unmatched efficiency, wit, and enthusiasm. She’s wise beyond her years, our “TLC Google” with unparalleled organisational knowledge, and is someone who makes every team member, client and referrer feel included, valued, and supported. 💙

Alana has been working very closely with the team to ensure a smooth transition and handover of responsibilities whilst we recruit for a new Practice Manager. In true Alana fashion, she is thoroughly and thoughtfully ensuring the team and our next practice manager are set up for success, to allow us all to continue delivering the amazing support and service that TLC is known for.

We’re going to miss her dearly, and will be savoring the remaining weeks we have with Alana at the helm, and we know that feeling will be share by everyone who has come to know and love Alana over the past 5 years.

Next, we're on the lookout for another passionate, organised, and people-focused leader to step into this important role.

📌 We’re recruiting for a Practice Manager to lead our amazing team and continue building on the strong, supportive culture, innovative systems and processes and excellent client experiences that Alana has helped shape.

🦶🌼 April NO FALLS Month! 🌼🦶
Did you know that 1 in 3 Australians aged 65 and over will have a fall each year? And it’s not just about bumps and bruises — falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisations for older adults in Australia.

But here’s the good news: FALLS ARE PREVENTABLE!

This April, we’re shining a light on simple ways to stay steady and strong:

✅ Stay active — exercises that improve balance and strength really help
✅ Check your home for trip hazards — like rugs, cords, or slippery floors
✅ Get your eyes and hearing checked regularly
✅ Chat with your GP, physiotherapist, exercise physiologist or occupational therapist about preventing falls

Let’s work together to make falls less likely and keep our community on its feet. 💙

For so many women, an ADHD diagnosis comes later in life—if at all.
💡 Whether you have lived experience or want to better understand ADHD in women and girls, this is a must-read blog. 💜
Perhaps you’ve recently stumbled across ADHD content that hit a little too close to home or just have a nagging sense something’s been missed, but you’ve brushed it off because you’re “high functioning”, keep reading.

In her latest blog, our team member Allie, psychologist, explores why ADHD so often flies under the radar in women and girls. From missed signs in childhood to the hidden toll of years spent masking symptoms, Allie brings clarity and compassion to a topic that deserves far more attention.
