Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served our nations in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping.

ANZAC Day is a time to remember those who gave so much, and to reflect on the values of bravery, mateship and resilience that continue to inspire generations.

At MannaCare, we also acknowledge the many veterans and families within our community whose stories and contributions are deeply valued.

Lest we forget.

24/04/2026

Today, our MannaCare community came together for a heartfelt Pre-ANZAC Day Service, joined by residents, families, volunteers, staff and visitors. It was a special time to pause, reflect and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have served our nation.

Thank you to our CEO, Travis Heeney, for leading the service, and to our Executive Director of Residential Services Danielle North for closing the ceremony.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Gabriel Ng MP Federal Member for Menzies for speaking and laying the wreath, Lieutenant Harrison Jones for his moving words, Cassia House resident Glenys Morgan for her beautiful reading of In Flanders Field, DML resident Don Collins for sharing his moving poem My Home Land, Stuart Coghill for the stirring sound of the bagpipes, and Paul Gillett for leading us proudly in the National Anthem.

Lest We Forget.

Residents enjoyed a special visit to the Doncaster RSL, bringing together Cassia House and Melaleuca Lodge for a meaningful day.
Hearing the stories behind the ANZAC memorabilia and listening to personal reflections from residents made it a truly powerful experience. It was a chance to pause, remember and connect.
We finished the morning with ANZAC biscuits, fresh scones and good company.

Last Thursday's Memory Café session at MannaCare was pure gold! 🎶 We flashed back to the 50s and everyone had a blast sharing stories about food, school, fashion and sports. Our volunteers totally nailed it - thanks for making it such a special day for our community 😊

Join us at Memory Place Cafe, held every second Thursday of the month at 10am, where we provide a welcoming space for those with a dementia diagnosis to connect with others who understand their journey.

Grevillea Social Group celebrated Easter on Thursday, 2 April with a wonderful day full of connection, laughter, and joy. We organised a special morning tea featuring delicious hot cross buns, and were delighted to have our volunteer Pat join us as a guest speaker, sharing meaningful insights with the group. The morning was filled with smiles as we captured some great photos and enjoyed time together. In the afternoon, the celebrations continued with lively music entertainment, thanks to our talented volunteer musician, Richard, who truly had everyone rocking along. A big thank you to our volunteers and staff for making the day so memorable for all our participants!

We recently came together to celebrate Harmony Day across MannaCare, and it was a great reminder of what makes our community so special.

Harmony Day is all about inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging. It’s about recognising that everyone brings something different, and that those differences make us stronger.

It was lovely to see so many staff getting involved, wearing traditional cultural outfits or orange to mark the day. There was so much colour, pride, and personality across the organisation.

We also had prizes for best dressed, which brought plenty of smiles and a bit of fun to the day.

The ice cream truck was a highlight, giving everyone a chance to take a break, connect, and enjoy a treat together.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped create such a positive and inclusive day.

This Valentine’s Day, we are celebrating a very special love story ❤️

Our wonderful clients, Helen and Lyell Richmond, recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. An incredible milestone built on a lifetime of love, commitment, and shared memories.

They marked the occasion with a special meal at their local Thai restaurant and were honoured to receive congratulatory letters from King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as from the Governor-General.

Our Doncaster Rehabilitation Services team also presented Helen and Lyell with a special card to help mark the occasion and celebrate this beautiful milestone with them.

Stories like Helen and Lyell’s remind us that love truly grows stronger with time. Wishing them continued happiness and many more beautiful moments together.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at MannaCare.

MannaCare warmly welcomed families to our first Memory Place Café session of the year today! It was a wonderful morning filled with connection and celebration, as we marked one of our carers’ birthday together. The theme for the day was weddings, and everyone enjoyed sharing their wedding photos, special memories and stories from attending beautiful multicultural celebrations over the years. It was heart warming to see conversations spark & smiles light up the room as memories were brought to life. A truly special way to start the year at Memory Place Café.
