Jed enjoying a well-earned sensory break after an incredible three days of learning!
We’re leaving Adelaide feeling inspired and ready to bring back some valuable insights and resources into our daily practice.

With so much uncertainty surrounding the NDIS and the proposed changes, it’s understandable that many are feeling vulnerable and concerned — and rightly so.

But in times of challenge, there’s always opportunity. Opportunity to connect, support one another, and face what comes next as a stronger, united community.

Hang in there — we’ve got this, together. 💪💙

Function Focus Allied Health pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who have served, and continue to serve, our country.

On ANZAC Day, we remember the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and reflect on the values they stood for mateship, courage, endurance, and sacrifice.

We acknowledge the significance of this day and express our deepest gratitude to all veterans, current service members, and their families. Your strength and dedication are never forgotten.

Lest we forget.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day—a day to celebrate the incredible diversity of minds, experiences, and strengths within the autistic community.

Autism isn’t something to “fix” or change; it’s a unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. Let’s continue to learn, listen, and create spaces where autistic individuals feel understood, valued, and supported.
