📸 Our Allied Health Team at their recent PD event with the Aida Care support team

Last week, our Physios and OTs attended an in-store exploration of assistive technology products, focusing on key areas including seating and recliners, pressure care and air mattresses — all critical to their clinical work supporting residents with conditions such as oedema, stroke, impaired cognition and more.

At HCA, our allied health professionals have access to some of the best professional development opportunities in the industry, because growing your clinical skills is just as important as delivering exceptional care. Events like these also create space for our therapists to connect, collaborate and share insights with one another.

Happy holiday season to our healthcare workers, clients, partners, residents, NDIS participants, home care customers and staff across the country.

As many of us come together to celebrate with family and friends, we encourage you to spare a thought for those working extra shifts, spending time away from loved ones, or navigating the holidays after the loss of someone special.

We acknowledge healthcare workers and first responders, often work longer hours and face unexpected time away from home. For those serving our country, deployment or duty can mean being even further from loved ones. And for older Australians in aged care, this season can bring quieter moments of separation from family and familiar routines.

This holiday season, let’s show kindness and acknowledge those who continue to serve, care and show up for others. 💜

From all of us at HCA, we wish you a safe, compassionate and supportive holiday season.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to:

Over the past few weeks, our HCA teams gathered with our incredible therapists for games, good food and plenty of laughs as we celebrated a year of hard work, growth and the meaningful moments shared with residents, colleagues and communities.

To all our Allied Health professionals — thank you for the care, expertise and compassion you bring every single day. We’re proud to have you as part of Team Purple and we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll continue to make in 2026. 💜

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bondi.

We are heartbroken by yesterday’s tragic events at Bondi Beach. Our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to everyone affected.

For this to occur during a time of celebration for the Jewish community, in a place where thousands gather to connect and find joy, makes the loss even more devastating.

We want to thank all the first responders and emergency services who acted with courage and urgency during an incredibly difficult time.

If you or someone you know needs support, Victims Services is available. Call 1800 411 822 or visit

For our HCA staff, please remember our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available should you need support. Reach out to your local team for assistance.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Happy World OT Day to our wonderful Occupational Therapists! 💜

🎥 This year’s theme, “Occupational Therapy in Action,” shines a light on the incredible work OTs do every day.

Showing us a glimpse into the life of an OT is Tiarna, Senior OT & HCA Clinical Support Coordinator - from morning routines and treating residents in an aged care facility, to testing equipment for her home care clients, and refuelling with caffeine for more referrals - there’s never a dull day!

We want to thank all OTs for the amazing work they do across different settings, and for their ongoing commitment to helping people engage in meaningful activities and participation around the world.
