A beautiful morning spent with even better company! ☕️✨ Our residents at Prins Willem Alexander Village headed out to The Bush Pantry for delicious scones and coffee, followed by a peaceful stroll through the Botanic Gardens. There’s nothing like fresh air and good conversation to start the day.

International Women’s Day at MiCare

At MiCare we would like to celebrate the incredible women who make MiCare what it is.

Across our organisation of 981 employees, women play a vital role in delivering compassionate, high-quality care and services to the communities we support every day. In fact, women represent approximately 85% of our workforce, reflecting the strong leadership, expertise and dedication that women bring across all areas of MiCare.

Our latest Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) report highlights the positive progress we continue to make in supporting gender equality in our workplace. Encouragingly, MiCare’s average gender pay gap is 3.6%, significantly lower than many industries, and reflects our ongoing focus on fair remuneration and equal opportunity.

The report also shows strong representation of women progressing into leadership roles, with 93% of recent appointments to manager roles being women, demonstrating the opportunities available for growth and development across our organisation.

Many Australians use the occasion to acknowledge the ongoing work needed to achieve true gender equality — whether addressing pay gaps, advocating for women’s safety, or amplifying the voices of First Nations women whose leadership has long been under recognised.

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise the contributions of the many talented women across MiCare, from our frontline care teams to our leadership and support services. Their compassion, resilience and commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we support every day.

Residents recently enjoyed a very special New Year’s afternoon tea, featuring freshly made Oliebollen — a traditional Dutch-style doughnut enjoyed on New Year’s Eve.

The idea was born during a Food Focus meeting, where residents shared cherished food memories and spoke about dishes that held deep personal and cultural meaning. Inspired by these stories, Kellie Vernon collaborated with our kitchen team to bring one of those memories to life.

Our Seaford Kitchen pastry chef, Carolyn Thompson, lovingly prepared the Oliebollen — lightly fried doughnuts filled with raisins and apple, finished with a generous dusting of powdered sugar.

For many residents, it was more than just a sweet treat. One resident, Jo, was especially moved, sharing that the Oliebollen tasted just like the ones her mother used to make — bringing back treasured New Year’s Eve memories and a beautiful sense of home.

As we wrap up the year, we’re celebrating the connections, conversations, and support that make our social support group so special. 💛
Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their stories, and supported one another. Here’s to a year of growth, kindness, and togetherness — and to many more moments like these in the year ahead.

International Day of People with Disability, 3rd December, is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.

Each year the UN announces a theme to observe for the International Day of People with Disability. The annual theme provides an overarching focus on how society can strive for inclusivity by removing physical, technological, and attitudinal barriers for people with disabilities. This has been occurring since 1992, when the General Assembly designated 3 December as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

In Australia, IDPwD is a joint effort between government, schools, organisations, community groups, businesses and individuals.

IDPwD is an opportunity to be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community for the 5.5 million people with disability in Australia.

The Australian Government through the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing funds a national program to help promote and raise awareness of this day.

We had such a lovely trip to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie in Yarra Glen!
We even managed to dodge the rain and enjoy a cozy morning tea before wandering through the shop, where residents had the chance to pick up a few treats.
A big thank you to John, our wonderful volunteer bus driver, for making the day so special!
