Today, on ANZAC Day, we reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women who have served our countries.

What a fantastic Friday night at the footy! 🏉

Some of our Somerville participants recently attended the NRL Round 7 clash between the Penrith Panthers and the Dolphins at TIO Stadium in Darwin, and what a game it was. A thrilling golden point finish kept everyone on the edge of their seats, and our participants absolutely loved every moment of the experience, from the atmosphere to the final whistle.

There were plenty of smiles, laughs, and great conversations throughout the night, making it a truly memorable outing for everyone involved.

Opportunities like this are what it’s all about, supporting people to get out into the community, enjoy the things they love, and create lasting memories together.

A big thank you to our dedicated team for making it all happen, and to our participants for bringing such great energy to the night!

💜 Epilepsy Awareness Day 💜

Today, we stand together to raise awareness, understanding, and support for people living with epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects millions of individuals and families worldwide, yet it is often misunderstood. At Somerville, we are committed to fostering inclusive communities where people with epilepsy feel safe, supported, and empowered to live full and meaningful lives.

Let’s take a moment to:
✨ Learn more about epilepsy
✨ Challenge stigma and misconceptions
✨ Support those in our community living with epilepsy

Together, we can make a difference, through awareness, compassion, and action.

On Friday the 13th, the Alice Springs Leadership Team came together for our annual Team Planning Day.

This year’s theme was “From Firefighting to Foresight”, with the team exploring the balance between reactive leadership and proactively planning ahead to better support both participants and staff.

Throughout the day, we had some great discussions around recognising patterns, making more intentional decisions, and how foresight can improve stability across our service.

We were also joined by Sophie Staughton from Veritable, who facilitated a reflective practice session, taking the team through both the theory and practical application of reflective practice in our day-to-day roles.

It was a really positive day with strong engagement, open conversations, and a good opportunity for the team to connect.
