🎉 World Manager Day x Liptember 💙💄
Today, we celebrate the incredible managers who lead with heart, especially in the disability services sector — and we proudly support Liptember, raising awareness for women's mental health.
Managing and leading people is no easy task. It takes resilience, empathy, and a deep commitment to growth — not just for the organisation, but for every individual within it. Our managers face complex challenges daily, yet they continue to show up with strength, compassion, and a drive to uplift others.
💙 To the leaders who invest in their teams, nurture potential, and create safe, inclusive spaces — thank you.
💄 To those who advocate for mental health and wellbeing — we see you, and we celebrate you.
Your leadership makes Engedi stronger, and your impact reaches far beyond the workplace.

This year, we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day with the global theme: Healthy Ageing – Preventing Falls and Frailty.
Physiotherapists, play a vital role in helping people stay active, independent, and safe as they age.
At Engedi we decided to celebrate by hosting a U-BEACH Community Open Day, promoting inclusive beach access for all abilities on Tuesday 2nd September 2025. The beach is a wonderful place to hang out, make connections, and enjoy some fun in the sun.
Engedi volunteers and friends of the beach had a great morning out attempting to spot whales, feeling the sand between our toes, and going for a dip in the ocean (for a brave few)!
We celebrated a day of community and movementt with accessible beach walks and gentle movement (fun games). Physical activity such as a day out at the beach can improve wellbeing, quality of life, intrinsic capacity and general functional capacity.
Let’s raise awareness, celebrate our profession, and support healthy, active living for all generations. 💙

🌞 Thank you for a beautiful U-Beach Day! 🌊

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Harbour Beach on Tuesday for the Mackay Community Beach Day! The weather was absolutely stunning, and the sunshine matched the smiles all around. ☀️

We were blown away by the incredible community support- from the volunteers helping with specialised beach mobility equipment, to the team assisting with transfers and ocean activities, and of course, everyone who came down to enjoy the day.

It was a fun, inclusive, and accessible morning filled with laughter, connection, and beachside joy. The fundraising sausage sizzle was a hit too!

Special thanks to Helen Robinson and the amazing crew at U-BEACH Mackay and Engedi Therapy for making it all happen. 💙

Let’s keep building a community where everyone can enjoy the beach!
