Well Balanced Care is proud to be champion of COUCH - Cairns and provide support to this important community organisation

Please dig deep and help out where you can

Because of you 🫵, COUCH Cancer Hub NQ is growing. 🌱🩷
It’s been almost 12 months since we introduced Champions of COUCH, a campaign highlighting the many faces of our hub and inviting the community to partner with us to raise much needed funds to help deliver excellent cancer care services to the North.

Together, we’re bringing vital cancer care, support and connection to Far North Queensland. From a cancer care nurse with more than 15 years’ experience and tailored gym classes with an exercise physiologist, to GP consultations, physiotherapy, oncology and lymphoedema massage – your generosity makes this possible. 🙏

Today we want to acknowledge the amazing contribution of Emmah, who joined 2 years ago as a Senior Occupation Therapist.

Your contribution, leadership and structure and supportive approach are an exemplar to all of us, and we are so pleased that you made the decision 2 years ago to join us.

Happy anniversary Emmah.

That’s a wrap on our student’s final placements !
We’ve absolutely loved having locally grown future clinicians learning, growing, and thriving with us at Well Balanced Care.

Here’s what they had to say about their journey:

“Having the chance to run group sessions from start to finish was such a game-changer—I actually feel like a real OT now.”

“At first, I was nervous about not having follow-ups… but once I got my second FCA, it clicked how much I’d learned the first time.”

“I came in not knowing much about PEADS or community, but I’ve walked away with experience I know I wouldn’t get anywhere else.”

“Being trusted to talk to participants, prep my own sessions, and even email stakeholders—it gave me confidence I didn’t realise I needed.”

“Even though every client was so different, I realised I could still transfer skills—like communication, observation, and managing unpredictable moments.”

“I was challenged—in a good way. You said sink or swim, and I actually swam.”

“The reflection and supervision style really suited me. I felt like I could ask questions freely without pressure.”

“Learning how to be adaptable with cancellations and use my time well felt like such a real-world skill. Like, I’m not stressed anymore when plans change!”

To our students: you’ve been thoughtful, resilient, and absolutely ready for what’s next. We’re so proud of you!
