IDHS recently hosted a beautiful High Tea to celebrate the 12-month milestone of the Maggie Beer Foundation Mentor Program.

A heartfelt thank you to Michael Nam and the Maggie Beer Foundation for your ongoing support, guidance, and inspiration throughout this journey.

Over the past year, the program has introduced new cooking techniques and enhanced flavour profiles, helping us elevate the quality and enjoyment of meals for our residents. It’s been a rewarding experience seeing the positive impact on both our team and those we care for.

We look forward to continuing this journey and building on these skills.

🌱 What's in season in May 🌱

Now's a good time to plant broad beans, parsley and turnips, and enjoy onions, beans and figs while they're fresh and tasting great!

Eating in season often means better taste and better value!

Leadership Development Across IDHS

We’re proud to share that staff from across all levels of our organisation recently came together to take part in the Leadership Development Program – Leading from the Inside Out, facilitated by Gabriel Edwards from Engaging People.
It was wonderful to see such a broad cross section of current and emerging leaders learning, sharing experiences, and building skills that directly support our team and our local community. The program focused on purposeful leadership, helping participants lead with confidence, compassion, and a strong commitment to rural healthcare.
We’re proud to support learning and development that strengthens our teams and ensures we continue to provide high quality care closer to home, now and into the future.

Administrative Professionals Week 2026

This week we recognise and celebrate the incredible administrative professionals across IDHS.

To our Managers, assistants, receptionists, and support staff — thank you. You are the backbone of our organisation, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Your organisation, attention to detail, and ability to juggle it all ensures our teams can deliver the best possible care and service every day.

Your work often happens quietly, but its impact is felt everywhere, in our efficiency, our productivity, and the positive experiences of those we support.

Today (and every day), we appreciate you and all that you do.
