🌟👩🎓 Youth Take Over Project 👨🎓🌟
Over the past 6 weeks, East Loddon students were tasked with learning about our local health services and experiencing a day in the life of a resident here at IDHS 🏥💜.
From week 1, one student knew aged care was where she wanted to be — and she now volunteers with us weekly! 👏🙌
Brooke from East Loddon, Sue Gould, Claudia from NCLLEN & the students visited each week, interviewing staff and residents. Claudia also ran a class back at school to teach the skills needed to create short-form videos for IDHS to use.
Today, to celebrate, the students presented their work and provided the staff and residents involved with a morning tea to celebrate their time at IDHS 🎤 — what an amazing effort!
💜 Thank you to:
☕️ Café 3517 for the catering

🙌 And the students for their time, creativity & enthusiasm!
Such a positive outcome — inspiring the next generation to explore careers in aged care 🌟👵👴

🚌💗 The second IDHS bus trip to BreastScreen Bendigo was another fun trip today! It was a beautiful day for a drive past the canola, and if you haven’t had a check, it’s recommended every 2 years. 🌸
Not only is it important for your health, but it’s also a great social morning! Our Health Promotion Officer Cindy, again enjoyed meeting new people, and the cuppa ☕ and chat on the way home is always a favourite request.
One participant shared:
✨ “I just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you for running the breast screen bus to Bendigo. For people like me that don't drive, having community health services such as this makes an amazing difference. It makes it possible to receive medical treatment/services that I might otherwise miss out on due to transport issues. I had a great day and a lot of laughs, and it was also a great way to meet new people that live within the local community.” 💕
🔎 What is a breast symptom?
It’s any change to the normal look and feel of your breasts. If you notice anything unusual, it’s important to talk to your doctor.

🌸 Women’s Health Week 🌸
Yesterday we celebrated with a special staff lunch under this year’s theme “Say Yes to Me”. 💕
We were inspired by Jan Pagliero – a passionate advocate for community development and aged care – who shared how volunteering is also about “saying yes to you.” 🙌✨
Jan reminded us that while she has many roles – from working full-time with one of Victoria’s largest service providers 🏡, to sitting on community boards 🤝, supporting youth through Rotary 🌍, volunteering at a women’s refuge 💜, helping refugees find work 🧑⚕️, and supporting single mums to start small businesses 👩👧 – her most important role of all is being a grandmother to 5 grandchildren 👵💖.Thank you so much Jan for your time today.
A big thank you to the IDHS Executive team for providing today’s staff lunch 🥗🍰 and to the Lions Club 🦁 for another delicious meal.

💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛
A big thank you to our RUOK? Day Champion, Leeanne for helping check in on her work mates today 👏💬
It all starts with a simple question:
👉 “Are you OK?”
✅ “Yes, I’m fine.”
🤔 “It’s just that you don’t seem to be your usual self lately.”
💛 “I’m always here if you want to chat.”
🤝 “Is there someone else you’d rather talk to?”
Remember to:
👂 Listen with an open mind
🙌 Encourage action and offer support
🧡 “How can I help?”
👩⚕️ “Have you thought about seeing your doctor?”
🌱 “What would help take the pressure off?”
Take time today—and every day—to check in with those around you. 💬✨

🌼🚍 Tarnagulla Social Support Group Adventure 🚍🌼

Today we set off on a beautiful scenic drive, making our first stop at the Elmore Bakery for a delicious morning tea. Along the way, we were treated to the breathtaking sight of golden canola fields in full bloom – what a view! 💛

Then it was back on the bus 🚌 and off to new adventures. We travelled across the Victorian–NSW border and enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Moama Bowling Club. The bus was filled with conversation, laughter, and plenty of smiles.

We even squeezed in a little research and discovered some fun facts about barking spiders 🕷️ – a great read that had us all learning something new!

Days like this remind us how special it is to get out, explore, and share good times together.

✨ Want to join our next outing? Seats are limited, so get in quick!

✨ Thanks to Maddie and Stacey from East Wimmera Health Service for inviting IDHS to the Farmers’ Night Off at the Logan Pub – the “Pub in the Scrub.” 🌾🍻
We had the privilege of hearing from Warren Davies, The Unbreakable Farmer, who shared his powerful story of resilience and reminded us all about the importance of having five people you can reach out to in times of stress. 💬🤝
It was wonderful to see such a big crowd come together, and the kids had a great time with the skipping ropes. 💚✨
