May is Stroke Awareness Month. Did you know that stroke can happen to anyone, at any time? And when it does, the impact can be life-changing.

Stroke Awareness Month is a chance to build understanding. To recognise the signs. And to support people living with the effects of stroke in ways that are respectful, flexible and person-led.

Knowing the signs of stroke can save lives. Think FAST:

• Face: has their face dropped on one side?
• Arms: can they raise both arms?
• Speech: is their speech slurred or hard to understand?
• Time: time to call emergency services immediately

Recovery looks different for everyone. For some, it may mean rebuilding strength or communication. For others, it may mean adapting to new ways of doing things and finding the right supports.

At Living My Way, we believe support should always be shaped around the person: their goals, their routines, and what matters most to them. Because with the right support, people can continue to live life their way.

Guide dogs are more than companions. They support independence, confidence and everyday mobility.

Today, we recognise the important role guide dogs play, and the partnerships that make greater independence possible.

The drive was just the beginning.

Last week, Margaret headed up to Newcastle. What stayed with her most was a meaningful conversation with a participant about what came after his injury — a powerful reminder that listening, connection and personalised support matter.

Today, we pause to remember and reflect.

We acknowledge the service and sacrifice of those who have served, and the impact on individuals, families and communities.

On Monday 27 April our office will be closed for the ANZAC Day public holiday. After-hours support will remain available for Living My Way Support Worker services, limited to matters relating to shifts occurring during this time.

All other Member support will resume when our office reopens on Tuesday.

A big thank you to Uniting for inviting us to their 10-year celebration - congratulations! - and what a room full of people genuinely making things happen in the community.

We were also pretty chuffed to be named a finalist in the Uniting Care Impact Award. Not a bad day’s work.

Congratulations again on 10 years of impact—and here’s to many more ahead.

This Wednesday, 22 April, the Minister for Health, Disability and Ageing Mark Butler will address the National Press Club at 12.30pm.

As the Minister is expected to talk about the Government’s plans for the NDIS, this could be a helpful opportunity to listen in and stay informed.

🥳 We’re thrilled to share that Living My Way has been selected as a finalist in the Organisation Award category at the inaugural Disability Impact Awards!

Every day, we’re privileged to listen to, learn from and work alongside people with disability and their families to help build more inclusive communities — and these finalists represent a snapshot of the impact happening across our communities.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination and helped shine a light on these incredible changemakers.
