Today we recognise Blue Knot Day, a national day of awareness supporting adults who have experienced childhood trauma and abuse.

At The Health Hub, we stand with survivors, acknowledging the courage it takes to heal and the importance of safe, compassionate spaces where people feel supported and understood. 🌿

Blue Knot Day is a reminder that recovery is possible, and that empathy and connection can truly change lives. Together, we can help build a community of hope and understanding.

🌼 Today is R U OK? Day 🌼
At The Health Hub, we’re passionate about whole-person wellness: mind, body, and spirit. R U OK? Day is a powerful reminder that caring for our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

A simple question, “Are you OK?” can open the door to support, understanding, and connection. Life’s challenges aren’t always visible, so taking a moment to check in can make a world of difference today and every day.

How you can help:
✨ Ask with genuine kindness
✨ Listen without judgment
✨ Encourage action or professional support
✨ Follow up and keep the conversation going

Let’s work together to make checking in a daily habit, because mental wellbeing is an everyday priority.

If you or someone you know needs extra help:
📞 Lifeline 13 11 14
📞 Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636

Together, we can create a healthier, more connected community, today and always. 💛

In late 2024, the NDIA commissioned an independent review of music and art therapy.

This review found music and art therapy can be effective and beneficial.

The NDIA fund these therapies when:

✔️ There is strong evidence they help people with similar disability related needs and goals.

✔️ They are delivered by a qualified therapist, registered with a recognised professional association.

✔️ The therapy aims to improve or maintain a participant’s function in areas like emotional regulation, communication, or social skills.

The review also found the current hourly rate of $193.99 is too high, with participants paying more on average than people outside the Scheme. In November, a more appropriate rate of $156.16 will be introduced. This aligns with the counselling rate.

🌿 NAIDOC Week 2025 🌿
The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy

This week, The Health Hub honours 50 years of NAIDOC, celebrating the strength, culture, and enduring legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy", invites us to reflect on the powerful journey of First Nations communities from the tireless efforts of Elders and changemakers to the inspiring vision of today’s youth who are shaping a strong, proud future.

At The Health Hub, we are committed to creating a culturally safe space where all voices are heard and respected. We recognise the wisdom and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and remain dedicated to walking alongside community to support health, healing, and holistic wellbeing.

This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate the past, present and future and the generations who carry forward a legacy of hope, healing, and leadership.

💛 Always Was, Always Will Be.

🌿 NDIS Supports Are Under Threat…Let’s Speak Up Together

At The Health Hub, we see the real impact of NDIS pricing changes every day. It’s not just numbers on a page, it’s fewer options, longer waits, burnt-out staff, and small providers being pushed out of the sector entirely.

💬 Families are confused. Providers are overwhelmed. Participants are left in limbo.

We’re passionate about helping people live their fullest lives but current policies are making it harder for us to do just that.

🛑 Support coordination and plan management services are stretched to breaking point.
🛑 Therapists are leaving the sector.
🛑 Participants are losing access to the very supports that were meant to help them thrive.

This is a call to everyone who believes in a fair, inclusive, and participant-first NDIS:

📣 Your story matters. Your voice matters.
Whether you’re a participant, a family member, a provider, or an ally now is the time to speak up.

🔄 How you can help:
✔ Share this message
✔ Tag decision-makers (handles below)
✔ Post your own story using
✔ Reach out to your local MP

💛 We’re here, we’re listening, and we’re fighting to protect what matters.

📌 Don’t let essential supports become optional.

💙🌍 June 21 is Global MND Day, a day to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and to stand with those impacted by this life-altering condition.

MND is a progressive neurological disease that affects the nerve cells controlling voluntary muscles including those used to walk, talk, eat, and breathe.
🧠 There are currently over 2,000 Australians living with MND.
📉 On average, the life expectancy from diagnosis is just 2 to 3 years.
💔 Every day, two Australians are diagnosed, and two lives are lost to MND.

At The Health Hub, we recognise the courage of those living with MND and the vital importance of early support, multidisciplinary care, and continued research.

Let’s take a moment today to reflect, raise awareness, and advocate for better outcomes for people with MND.

Together, we can make a difference. 💙
