While we were in Melbourne last week for the awards, we squeezed in a visit to ACMI and ended up experiencing something incredible! 🎮✨

We had the chance to play Minecraft using only our eyes and learned about and her inspiring advocacy for this life-changing technology.
Eye-gaze tech might just be the most exciting and impactful innovation we’ve seen in a long time.

The possibilities for accessibility, communication and independence are truly amazing. 💜

What an unforgettable experience!

Last week, in the midst of an incredibly busy schedule, Raelene still made the time to attend a wonderful event at the Evergreens Seniors Club NT Inc .

She joined NT Stroke Foundation Ambassador Richard Crookes to discuss, listen and advocate on all things stroke... raising awareness, sharing vital information, and championing better outcomes for our community.

Thank you, Raelene, for always showing up with heart and purpose.

Your commitment to supporting others continues to make a real impact.

What a week it has been for Metanoia Rays! ✨

We are incredibly proud to share that last night we won the Most Innovative Home and Living Solution category at the Australian Disability Service Awards, proudly sponsored by Tania Gomez Consulting.

This is our 5th ADSA experience, and every year it reminds us how special this night is - a chance to celebrate our team whose passion, innovation and dedication deserve to be recognised, and an opportunity to connect with inspiring industry leaders across the sector.

This achievement is truly an entire team effort, and we want to thank every member of Metanoia Rays for the heart they bring to their work every single day. 💛

We’d also like to extend our warm congratulations to the winners of the category we sponsored this year - GRP Speech Pathology, recipients of the Allied Health Excellence in Practice award. Well deserved! 👏

Here’s to continuing to innovate, support and empower our community together. 🌟

🎉✨ What an incredible night! ✨🎉

Our Metanoia Rays 5-Year Celebration and Christmas Party this year in Darwin was one to remember, filled with laughter, connection, and so much gratitude for the amazing people who make our community what it is. 💜

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate five years of growth, purpose, and impact.

Your energy and support made the night truly special.

Stay tuned - we have more photos and highlights to come! 📸🎄💫

✨ Community connections in action! ✨

Last weekend, Raelene attended the Darwin Autism Luncheon and had an absolutely fabulous time connecting with local providers and community champions.

In the photo, Raelene is joined by Ben Toll, Director of KB Toll Industries - a lawn mowing support service. On the other side is Triston Toll, the main operator who brings passion and dedication to every day’s work. 💚

It was inspiring to share stories, hear lived experiences and strengthen ties with others who care deeply about creating inclusive, supported communities.

We love seeing collaboration spark at events like this - it’s where real impact begins. 🌱💬
