We’re buzzing with excitement for tomorrow’s Cairns Marathon Festival!

One of the big highlights? Our amazing client Matt Caruana will be showing what’s possible with the EksoNR robotic exoskeleton; a game-changing device helping people with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and other neurological conditions get moving.

Matt hit the spotlight last night on Channel 7 News, joined by Royal Rehab LifeWorks’ physio Joel Chan, and Executive Director Community, James Dakin.

Oh—and we’re also the proud sponsor of the 5km walk! So if you’re heading down, come find us at the Royal Rehab LifeWorks marquee. You’ll get to see cutting-edge rehab tech in action.

Let’s go Cairns!

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.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Did you know 38 Australians are diagnosed with Parkinson’s every day? With over 200,000 people living with the condition, awareness and support have never been more important.

Parkinson’s is more than just tremors - it affects movement, balance, and everyday life. While there’s no cure yet, early intervention, exercise, and research are making a real impact.

This month, let’s stand with those affected:
💙 Learn about Parkinson’s and its challenges.
💙 Support research and advocacy efforts.
💙 Get involved in local events or fundraisers.

Together, we can raise awareness, offer support, and bring hope.
