This week was a special one for Bunyarra as we had the privilege of returning to where many of our community programs first began, alongside the .

Delivering NICL training to local business and community members was an opportunity to continue building education, awareness and understanding around wellbeing, not only within workplaces but within our broader community. The training focused on supporting both staff wellbeing and personal wellbeing, while encouraging us all to better recognise when someone may need support and how we can look out for one another.

At Bunyarra, we are incredibly proud and honoured to work alongside communities of all sizes. We strongly believe that no community should ever be forgotten when support is needed, and we remain committed to ensuring education, connection and wellbeing support are accessible for everyone.

A huge thank you to the Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce and all those who participated throughout the week. It is partnerships and community engagement like this that continue to create stronger, healthier and more connected communities.

Recently, members of the Bunyarra team completed their certification in both individual and group supervision, continuing our commitment to professional growth, accountability and best practice support services.

Supervision plays a vital role across both clinical and frontline support settings. It provides professionals with a safe and structured space for reflection, development, debriefing and ongoing learning, while also ensuring the highest standard of care and support for those we work alongside.

Whether in counselling, wellbeing support, community engagement or frontline services, quality supervision helps strengthen resilience, build confidence, maintain ethical practice and reduce burnout within the helping professions.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved in completing the certification.

Take a deep breath in... and let it out. 🧘‍♂️✨
In a world that constantly asks us to look ahead to the next thing, the most radical act of self-care you can do is simply to "be right here, right now".

Mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind or sitting perfectly still for hours. It’s simply the practice of gently bringing your awareness back to the present moment without judgment. And the benefits for your wellbeing? They’re life-changing.

Here is what happens when you start practicing mindfulness:

* Lowers Stress & Anxiety: By anchoring yourself in the "now", you quiet the "what-ifs" of the future and the regrets of the past.

* Improves Emotional Regulation: You learn to "notice" your feelings instead of immediately reacting to them. It creates a pause between a trigger and your response.

* Boosts Focus & Clarity: Think of it like a gym workout for your brain. It strengthens your "attention muscle," making it easier to stay present during work or conversations.

* Enhances Physical Health: Studies show mindfulness can lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality, and even strengthen your immune system.

Try the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Method
If you are feeling overwhelmed or distracted today, try this quick 5 senses mindful activity to instantly bring yourself back to the present moment. Acknowledge:

* 5 things you can SEE: Look around you and spot five things you wouldn’t normally notice, like a shadow on the wall or a small crack in the pavement.

* 4 things you can FEEL: Tune into your body. Notice the texture of your clothes against your skin, the warmth of your coffee mug, or the solid ground beneath your feet.

* 3 things you can HEAR: Listen closely to your environment. Can you catch the distant rustle of leaves, the steady hum of an appliance, or a bird outside your window?

* 2 things you can SMELL: Take a deep breath. Maybe you can smell the scent of your hand lotion or the fresh air coming through a window.

* 1 thing you can TASTE: Focus on your mouth. Can you taste the lingering flavor of your last meal, or simply the freshness of a sip of water?

How are you checking in with yourself today?

No single organisation or individual can solve domestic and family violence alone. It requires a collective commitment: a community that refuses to look away and a system that prioritises collaboration over silos.

The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the AIHW reminds us why this work is so urgent:
* Rising Numbers: In the 2024–25 financial year, the number of FDV offenders recorded by police rose by 8%, reaching nearly 98,000 people.
* Widespread Impact: Approximately 1 in 4 women and 1 in 14 men have experienced violence from an intimate partner since the age of 15.
* The Ultimate Cost: On average, one woman is killed every 11 days by an intimate partner in Australia.
Behind these statistics are real people, real families, and real lives.

For our team, it is an honour to be at the table with fellow advocates, services, and community leaders. We are dedicated to continuing to grow and support our clients, ensuring that every person seeking safety finds a path forward.

When we work together by sharing resources, knowledge, and empathy, we build a stronger safety net. Let’s keep showing up, keep listening, and keep collaborating for a future free from violence. 💜

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that creating a stronger, healthier community is not the responsibility of one person, one organisation or one profession. It takes all of us.

Sometimes making a difference is as simple as checking in on a mate, listening without judgement, creating safe environments for people to speak openly, or simply showing kindness and respect in everyday interactions.

It is also important to remember that people facing mental health challenges are not always the people we expect. Often those struggling are the ones still showing up for others, smiling, performing at work, competing in sport or appearing to have everything together on the surface. That is why genuine connection, compassion and regular check-ins matter so much.

We all have a role to play in breaking down stigma, encouraging connection and helping people feel seen, valued and supported.

Communities become better places when people are willing to turn up for each other, not only in the difficult moments, but every day.

This month is an opportunity to continue the conversations, increase awareness and remind people that support matters and no one should feel like they have to face challenges alone.

Today is about more than just a title; it’s about the heart behind the role. 🥰

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who nurture, lead, and love unconditionally. We are celebrating the diverse and beautiful ways that "mothering" shows up in our lives:

To the biological moms and adoptive mom's and dual-role parents who consistently dedicate their utmost efforts.

To the foster moms and kinship caregivers providing a soft place to land and a safe harbor.

To the stepmoms building bridges with patience and grace.

To the aunties, godmothers, and mentors who step in to guide, protect, and cheer us on.

To the grandmothers who are the steady pillars of our families.

To those in the "waiting room" of motherhood, holding onto hope.

Motherhood isn’t just defined by DNA: it’s defined by showing up. Whether you are a mother by birth, by choice, or by circumstance, your influence is a gift.

Today, we also hold space for those for whom this day is heavy: those grieving their mothers, those grieving a loss of a child, and those with strained relationships. You are seen.

❤️

Over the past couple of weeks we have had a few sites ask us where our amazing Mia is.

Well here she is!! Mia is back playing pro level basketball with at the moment and we could not be prouder of her!!

After coming out to a few sites last year Mia developed a fan club quickly for her compassion, guidance and support.

We will always love to have Mia represent us, but we will also be her biggest cheer squad when she is on the court also!

It was an absolute pleasure for some of the team to be up in Cairns recently, supporting the Marlins and Dolphins as they kicked off their season campaigns.

The opportunity to spend time with the players in the days leading into games was incredibly valuable. Building rapport and strengthening relationships in those moments is so important—not just for performance, but to ensure every player knows there is genuine mental wellbeing support available whenever they need it.

Bonus - both teams got big wins in their season launch!

Grateful to be part of the journey with such a committed group, and looking forward to seeing what the season ahead holds.

Honoured is an understatement when we talk about Bunyarra’s ongoing support of Cairns Basketball.

What makes this year even more special is knowing that our partnership is not only supporting players, staff, and the wider community—but has also played a part in the club securing an absolute asset in Amarco Doyle.

This is what real partnership looks like.

Through strong, values-driven collaboration, we have the ability to grow sport in a meaningful way—creating environments where performance and wellbeing go hand in hand. At Bunyarra, we’re committed to reducing barriers around mental wellbeing services, ensuring they are accessible, normalised, and embedded across all levels of sport.

From high-performance pathways right through to grassroots participation, alignment matters. When clubs, communities, and organisations come together with a shared purpose, we don’t just build better athletes—we build better people.

Excited for what’s ahead.

This week, Michael had the opportunity to be part of the YOLO Program — two days filled with education, awareness, understanding, networking, and plenty of fun.

Michael fully embraced the spirit of the event, not just as a presenter, but as a passionate advocate for engaging with the future workforce and continuing to break down stigma around mental health and wellbeing.

By all accounts, it was a phenomenal event, featuring a range of outstanding speakers, including the one and only

A huge well done to all the organisers for delivering such a meaningful and impactful program 👏
