After sustaining a brain injury in 2016, Mardi set herself a truly ambitious goal: to conquer the 1,000 Steps at Mt Dandenong.

It’s been a long road marked by years of hard work and consistent effort, but this January, all that dedication paid off. Mardi officially ticked it off her list, completing the climb on her very first attempt.

Mardi, your persistence is seriously impressive. We’re so proud to see you achieve this incredible milestone—well done! 🏆

Our leadership Q&A series, 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘺, is still going strong. This time we take a deep dive into the work of our tireless OT leadership trio: 𝘈𝘮𝘺 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦, 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘴 and 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘢 𝘙𝘶𝘥𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥.

Despite managing a team of over 20 Occupational Therapists, they sat down with us to discuss their professional drivers, how they navigate the evolving healthcare landscape, and the unique leadership styles they use to support our clinicians every day.

Meet George, one of our clients living with MS. George has been working closely with our Speech Pathologist, Tom, on a home-based EMST (Expiratory Muscle Strength Training) program.

In neuro rehab, the "big goals" aren’t reached overnight. They are built on a foundation of:

💫 Consistency - Showing up for those daily exercises, even on the tough days.

💫 Small Wins - Celebrating the incremental improvements, like less reliance on thickened fluids and reduced coughing when drinking thin fluids.

George’s commitment to his long-term health is a perfect example of how stacking up those small daily wins builds the much bigger picture. We are so impressed with your dedication, George! 👏
