We all want to enjoy our summer and start the new year feeling our best.

Alcoholic products are heavily promoted during this time, but alcohol companies fail to mention that alcohol increases stress, impacts our sleep and changes our mood and behaviour.

There are now lots of options available to us to minimise the harms of alcohol, which means we can enjoy the summer while feeling our best.

Food services are more than just meals—they’re a key part of a person’s care experience. Seeing the kitchen in action gave our leaders valuable insight into the skill, planning and teamwork that goes into preparing nutritious meals every single day.

These meals not only support health and wellbeing, they also meet the requirements of the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards and the Strengthened Aged Care Standards—ensuring our patients and residents receive safe, high-quality care on every plate

𝟭𝟲 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗠 | We all want to live in a world where we are free to be ourselves.

Unhealthy and narrow masculine stereotypes pressure men to use violence and aggression.

The vast majority of Australians do not agree with these outdated attitudes and are ready for change. It’s time we freed men from narrow stereotypes, to create a world where we can all be ourselves.

📣 𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁
• Is usually about your own care or experience
• You might want something to be fixed or improved
• You can raise it with Alpine Health or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission

🕊️ 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴
• Is when you report serious wrongdoing — like neglect, fraud, or unsafe practices
• It can be about something that affects others, not just you
• You’re protected by law if you speak up

Both help keep aged care safe, respectful, and fair for everyone. 💛
