High vis on and out in the community 💜💚🐰

As they do each year, our participants and staff hit the streets to collect donations for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal - a cause that helps provide life-saving care for children and their families.

A great effort by all, and a meaningful way to be part of something bigger in our community.

At Mulleraterong, we are proud to support people of all abilities to live full, connected and meaningful lives. World Down Syndrome Day is a reminder of the importance of inclusion, respect, opportunity and ensuring every voice is heard.

Today is also a day to celebrate the talents, personalities and contributions of people with Down syndrome in our community and beyond.

What a fantastic day at the Heywood Wood, Wine & Roses Festival! 🪵🍷🌹

As part of our Community Connections calendar, Neil and Duncan headed along to soak up the atmosphere at this iconic Western Victoria event, and there really was something for everyone. We enjoyed the colourful street parade and market stalls, joined in on fun activities (🐍 and 🦖) and really enjoyed being part of the atmosphere of a lively community celebration.

It was wonderful to spend time together and connect with the wider community. 🧡

This time ... Alexandra House! Known for its welcoming and inclusive environment, naturally we love coming to Alexandra House to unwind, get social, enhance our money handling skills and enjoy a good pub meal!

We were also grateful to collect the donations from the Alexandra House tin, which help support the ongoing upkeep of the Centre.

Thanks to Alexandra House for giving us all of that at this week's Community Connections dinner outing. See you again soon! 👋

Last week, as part of our Community Connections calendar, participants and staff headed out for dinner at The Cally Hamilton ... always a hit with its great pub meals, central location and plenty of friendly faces to mingle with.

These outings are about more than just a good meal. They offer participants the chance to get out and about in the community, build confidence, practise ordering and paying for meals, use money skills, and enjoy social connection in a real-world setting.

We're lucky to be part of such an inclusive community that makes these dinner outings so popular with our participants! 🍽️👏🧡

Yesterday Mulleraterong proudly hosted a South West Advocacy Network meeting, welcoming people from across the region for a meaningful and collaborative discussion.

Together with Cooinda Terang, Kyeema Support Services, Portland., Southern Stay Disability Services Inc and connected self advocates, the group shared organisational updates, wellbeing wins, achievements and new learnings, and most importantly, created space for participants and people with a disability to raise current self-advocacy issues and speak openly about what matters to them.

The meeting also highlighted upcoming training opportunities, including Voice at the Table sessions and ways to strengthen representation on boards and advisory groups, reinforcing the Network’s commitment to empowering people to have their voices heard.

It's always inspiring to witness self-advocacy in action - people sharing experiences, supporting one another, and working together to strengthen inclusion and human rights across our region. We are proud to be part of such a vibrant and collaborative community. 🧡
