Survive & Thrive This Aussie Holiday Season! 🎄☀️

The heat is on, the parties are booked, and Christmas chaos is here! Don't sweat the small stuff. Prioritise safety, sanity, and fun with our top tips:

🎄Safety First: The most important gift is making it home safely. NEVER drink and drive. Plan your ride before you leave (cab, rideshare, sober legend).

🎄Pet Safety Alert: Keep ALL chocolate out of your dog's reach. Theobromine is highly toxic to them! Stick to dog-specific treats.

🎄Beat the Heat, Mate: Plan your backyard cricket/big meal for cooler times (early morning/late arvo). Sunscreen on, fluids up (water, not just bubbly!).

🎄Budget Hack: Set a strict gift budget for every person and stick to it. The best Jan gift is no credit card debt!

🎄People Over Perfection: Nobody remembers the perfectly placed napkin—they remember the laughter. Let go of the need for an Insta-perfect holiday.

🎁The Main Takeaway: Take a deep breath. Focus on connection & kindness.

International Day of People with Disability 2025 (IDPWD)

Today Westhaven held a speaking event to consider, and promote, the essential contributions and perspectives of people with disability on IDPWD.

We were privileged to hear from guest speaker, Mr. James Horsburgh, a Westhaven Board member and practicing solicitor. James delivered a powerful and highly resonant address, sharing his lived experience with disability.

As a key voice in Westhaven's strategic direction, James's insights as an advocate were crucial, providing our team with a deeper, actionable understanding of navigating life with a disability, and how vital our work is in this space.

Thank you James for giving your time, and sharing your journey with us.

Moustache Mayhem at Westhaven! 🥸

We had a brilliant time uniting our community for a fun and engaging Movember session! Our wonderful Children and Young People and their dedicated Support Workers got creative together, adding colour and flair to the cause.

The activity was a blast: we all got involved colouring in moustaches, putting them on sticks, and then utilising them as props for a great group photo session. It was all about fun, engagement, and raising awareness for men's health!

This Movember, we celebrate the health and well-being of the men and boys across our Westhaven disability community.

10/11/2025

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to observe one minute of silence to acknowledge, honour, and remember the courage and sacrifice of all Australians who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Lest We Forget.
