It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

📣 Melatonin update 📣

Melatonin has recently been removed from iHerb and other overseas suppliers.

In Australia, Melatonin is "Prescription Only" to ensure safety and proper use.

Fortunately we can help by compounding Melatonin in our lab in different forms and flavours to suit your needs - if your doctor has prescribed it!

Visit us in-store or submit your prescription online at www.completecarepharmacies.com.au and we will get it sorted for you! 😍

It’s likely you do it because that’s just ‘what you do’ for a loved one.

There are free supports and services available to unpaid carers. Visit www.carergateway.gov.au to find out more.

Your NDIS provider can support you in many ways, but they can’t be your advocate.

That’s because under the NDIS Act, advocacy must be fully independent, with no real or perceived conflicts of interest.
