Last week, on our first day back after the holidays, we came together for a team planning day focused on one thing: how we can better support our clients, families and carers in 2026.

We reflected on what’s working well, identified where we can do better, and mapped out practical ways to keep our support consistent, personalised, and easy to apply in everyday life, at home, at school, at work and in the community.

Big ideas, clear next steps, and a shared commitment to making everyday life easier.
Here’s to a great year ahead with this crew, and you! 💙

As we wrap up another big year, we just want to say a HUGE thank you!

To our clients, families, carers, and support teams: thank you for your trust, partnership, and support throughout the year. It means so much to us.

And to our incredible team: thank you for your dedication, care, and commitment to the people we support every day. We’re so grateful for everything you bring to Back to Basics.

These moments from our team’s end-of-year Christmas celebration capture what we value most: connection, laughter, and taking time to celebrate the people behind the work.

Wishing you a joyful end to the year and a positive year ahead.

From all of us at Back to Basics Health Group 💙💚

A month ago, our amazing Behaviour Support Practitioner Alison explored a community-based volunteering option for a student needing a different way to engage with education across the week.

With his Mum, support workers, school principal and on board, today he started as an official member of the Poo Crew. With his uniform on and a clear purpose, he now has a structured, meaningful way to learn beyond the school gate.

Huge thanks to family, school staff, the support team, and the legends at Pinchapoo for making this proud moment happen.

Keen to explore community participation goals for someone you support? Send an email to info@backtobasicshealthgroup.com.au or call us on (03) 9763 7613.

Getting the right support early can make everyday life that little bit easier. Early therapy helps children build confidence, develop independence, and handle challenges before they grow.

At Back to Basics, we work alongside families to make daily routines smoother and moments together happier, because every child’s journey is unique, and we’re here to support yours. 💙

Sometimes, it’s not about changing the person, it’s about changing the environment.

This OT Week, we’re celebrating the power of small changes, because even the simplest adjustment can make a world of difference. From lighting and furniture to adaptive tools and visual supports, these tweaks can make everyday activities safer, easier, and more comfortable.

Discover how our Occupational Therapists help people make their spaces work for them. And explore practical resources you can download to support independence at home, school, and in the community.

We love sharing feedback like this! Helen has been supporting this family for over four years, and her commitment shines through every session.

Our team of Behaviour Support Practitioners work closely with families to understand the “why” behind behaviours, and to build positive, lasting change.

Thank you to this family for sharing your experience and trusting us with your journey 💙

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible work of occupational therapists everywhere: the people who help make everyday life easier, more comfortable, and more meaningful.

From supporting kids to build independence, to helping adults return to work, or empowering older adults to stay active at home, OT is about finding practical ways to live life to the fullest.

Here’s to the creativity, compassion, and commitment that make occupational therapy so special.

We’re proud of our OTs at Back to Basics and the difference they make every single day. 💙

You can’t always see a disability, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

For many people, conditions like Autism, ADHD, chronic pain, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, or sensory processing differences shape how they experience daily life, even when nothing “looks wrong" on the outside.

Invisible disabilities often bring hidden challenges: fatigue, overwhelm, misunderstanding, and stigma. What makes the biggest difference isn’t expertise, it’s empathy. Listening without judgment. Believing someone when they share their needs. Offering flexibility instead of assumptions.

This Invisible Disabilities Week, we’re encouraging everyone to look beyond the surface and learn what it really means to see the invisible. 💙

Read our latest blog to understand how awareness, compassion, and small acts of understanding can make everyday life fairer for everyone: https://backtobasicshealthgroup.com.au/uncategorized/invisible-disabilities-awareness/

Some disabilities can’t be seen, but they’re still there. And they are real.

Autism, ADHD, chronic pain, sensory overload, fatigue, depression and anxiety, or memory challenges can all affect how someone moves through the world.

A small act of understanding, like slowing down, listening, and not assuming, can make a big difference.

This week, take a moment to see beyond what’s visible. 💙

This Carers Week, we’re celebrating the incredible parents who give their time, energy, and love to care for others, and reminding them that their wellbeing matters too.

Caring for someone you love can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. It’s easy to put yourself last, but taking time to rest and recharge isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

In our latest blog, we share practical, real-life ways for parent-carers to prevent burnout, find calm in the chaos, and feel supported every step of the way. 💙
