It's National Diabetes Week - a timely reminder that what affects your blood sugar can also affect your vision. 👁️

Many people don’t realise that diabetes is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in Australia. Your eyes deserve the same care and attention as the rest of your health.

Conditions like diabetic retinopathy can develop slowly and often without early warning signs, but regular eye checks can catch the changes before they impact your sight.

Whether you're living with diabetes or supporting someone who is, our team is here to help preserve and protect your vision, now and into the future.

Don’t wait for symptoms to appear - make eye health part of your diabetes care plan. Find out more about our services here: https://www.visability.com.au/

Not everyone likes to use a cane. There are many reasons why this might be, from finding it cumbersome to disliking the attention it draws, but some barriers are smaller than they seem. 🚧

A frequent complaint from some cane users is that they can often find themselves being ‘jabbed’ in the stomach when their cane collides with an object in front of them. The solution? A ‘no jab’ cane that's been designed to prevent just that! 👨‍🦯

On a recent STEP into Work trip to Fremantle, one of our participants had the opportunity to try a no-jab cane for the first time. Without fear of getting jabbed, she soon set off across the city, leaving us all in the dust!

Week 2025 is here – a time to celebrate not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders.

And what better time to introduce one of our wonderful CoAct clients…

Meet Sam - a young indigenous lad living with vision loss and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, who is building his independence and thriving in a job he loves.

After making the big move from Margaret River to Perth, Sam has found his place at Good Games Cannington, turning his love of gaming into a rewarding role. With support from the CoAct team, he was able to connect with local opportunities and land a job where he’s now shaping awesome experiences for fellow gamers.

From navigating public transport to building a life of independence, Sam’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience, cultural pride, and the strength of our next generation of leaders.

💬 “All kids need the opportunity to learn equally, regardless of disability or cultural background.” – Sam
