“This bridge along the water is really nice,” said Gary as our Rec Group enjoyed a beautiful misty morning stroll along the Eleebana Walking Track before the rain rolled in. 🌫️🚶‍♂️

Fresh air, peaceful scenery, a little exercise and great company — what a perfect way to start the day! 🌿💙

If you haven’t checked out the Eleebana bridge walk yet, why not give it a go? It’s a local gem! 👍 PS. it just might be good idea to take a brolly! 🌂🌦️

Wow Kim — you’re never far from the action and always bringing the positive energy (and that smile) wherever you go!! 😃💜

No sugar-coating here. Just honest, real-life stories from brave, beautiful people. 🧠

A fantastic opportunity for our Community Education Team to share the lived experience of acquired brain injury with students preparing for careers in disability and community services.

These conversations matter — building understanding, awareness and compassion for the people they’ll support in the future.

Thank you and well done to Darren, Colin, Ricki-Lee and Dayne for representing with honesty, courage and heart. Top job as always, CET Team! 👏👏

Rec Group hit the tracks for some super competitive slot car racing at Show Us Ya Slotz in Lemon Tree Passage 🏎️💨

“That was fun!” said Ken, while Ossie shared: “I love slot car racing!” 😄

With Imelda and Phil happily spectating and jumping in to help put the cars back on track after a few dramatic tight-corner tumbles 😂 What a top pit crew! 🏁🔧

Fast cars, big laughs and plenty of friendly rivalry made for an awesome day out. 🙌

After all the crafting fun, the group headed to Adamstown Bowling Club for lunch and a few games of pool. 🎱🍽️ “We had a good game of pool!” said Paul.

This week’s office “Doggie Day” was a delighful day for animal lovers like Faye and CSW Deb. 😄 We’re already counting down to next year… unless of course we make Doggie Day twice a year?! 🐕 🙌

🐶❤️ It was paws-itively wonderful at Headstart’s annual “Doggie Day” this week!

Once a year our staff bring in their furry best friends, and this time we loved having Faye and Mary join in all the fun.

From wagging tails to lots of pats and cuddles, the dogs brought smiles, laughter, and a calm happy vibe to everyone. 🐾

“Dogs are so relaxing to be around,” says Mary. We couldn’t agree more! 🐕✨
