We are so fortunate to have Rainbow Region Dementia Doula in the Northern Rivers. Support for those living with dementia and their families is so important.

We are so grateful to have our Parkinson's NSW nurses providing vital care and support to our Northern Rivers community.
Advocacy and fundraising is vital to raise awareness and much needed funds for research in this field that affects so many in our community. 💜

Dovida Tweed & Northern Rivers are thrilled to learn that Jenny Worrell is a finalist for Regional Woman Of The Year!
Grafton’s spectacularly successful Forget Me Nots became the inspiration that led to our wonderful Beating Hearts of Lismore and from their success, Shine On Wollumbin.
What well-deserved recognition for outstanding contribution to community.

GRAFTON'S OWN JENNY WORRELL FINALIST FOR NSW REGIONAL WOMAN OF THE YEAR 🌟

I’m absolutely delighted to see Grafton’s Jenny Worrell named a finalist for NSW Regional Woman of the Year at the 2026 NSW Women of the Year Awards — a huge and well-deserved honour, and a proud moment for the Clarence Valley.

Jenny is an exceptional educator, musician and community advocate. Many locals will know her through her work co-founding Forget Me Nots at the Clarence Valley Conservatorium alongside her good friend, Leigh Robertson — a free, volunteer-led singing group that supports people living with dementia, Parkinson’s and their carers, and brings connection, joy and dignity to so many lives. She has also served as Chair of the CVCON for the past decade.

Jenny’s compassion, leadership and quiet determination have touched hundreds of people in our community, and it’s wonderful to see her work recognised on a state stage. I believe this is the first time the Clarence Valley has had a finalist in this category — and it couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.

Congratulations Jenny — we’re all cheering you on! 💐👏

Dovida Tweed & Northern Rivers proudly support initiatives like Shine On Wollumbin that bring older members of our community together.
Making friends and acquaintances can get harder as we age and our social circle diminishes.
Groups like Shine On Wollumbin and Beating Hearts of Lismore play a vital role, ensuring that there are inclusive diverse welcoming social spaces to bring us together.

Our much-loved Community Morning Tea is back again in February

A chance to share a cuppa, enjoy a slice of something home-baked, and reconnect with familiar faces (and meet some new ones too).

Each month we serve up morning tea, create space for conversation and connection, and sharing updates from local service providers while supporting local causes that matter to our community.

Entry is by donation. Please bring a friend and a plate to share if you can. Join us, join in, and be part of these opportunities for connection and company.

What does ISO 9001:2015 certification actually mean in home care?​

​It means independent auditors regularly examine our processes – from recruitment and training to incident response and continuous improvement. Everything is verified against global standards, not just documented internally.​

​As the aged care sector evolves, this level of external validation helps registered providers make informed decisions about care partnerships.​
