🎄 In the lead-up to Christmas, Somerville staff across Darwin and Palmerston came together to donate gifts for children at Royal Darwin Hospital.

The presents were delivered to the RDH Paediatric Ward to help bring comfort, joy and a little festive cheer to children and families spending time in hospital.

We hope these small gestures help brighten their days and remind families they are being thought of this Christmas. 💛

We’ve recently had pool hoists installed at our Katherine and Palmerston SDA properties.

Installation and use of the pool hoists to support participants to access the pool has been supported by Jessie McDonald from Territory Therapy Solutions and Occupational Therapy students from Charles Darwin University.

Occupational Therapy students from CDU have assisted Somerville with the creation of a staff training package and pool hoist manual to support staff in facilitating participant access to the pool. Jessie-Rose McDonald Physiotherapist from Territory Therapy Solutions, has also provided Somerville Disability Support Workers with face-to-face training sessions at both Katherine and Palmerston sites.

Somerville is grateful to collaborate with other services in the NT to make pool access happen and support participants to keep active!

Thank you to CDU OT students and Jessie McDonald.

Last week, some of our team took part in a practical Dysphagia workshop with Sarah O’Connor from Territory Therapy Solutions.

Staff learned how to safely prepare, modify and serve food and drinks using the IDDSI Framework, and worked through hands-on activities including food prep, thickening, testing and audit tools.

We look forward to continuing our training in 2026.
