Calling All Corporate/Groups of Treasure Hunters (and Dust Warriors!)

Looking for a team-building day with heart (and maybe a little dust)? Got a sharp eye, a love of order, or an inexplicable fascination with secondhand gems?

Then you, friend, might just be our hero in hi-vis.

The Mission:
Turn bags of mystery into glorious, sellable treasure — all to support our community programs.

The Vibe:
Like Op Shop Wars, but with less drama and more high-fives
You vs. the donation pile
Fun, feel-good, and weirdly satisfying

What’s Involved:
Sorting clothing, homewares, and donated oddities
Using a pricing gun (yes, a real one!)
Laughing over “what even is that?” finds
Fighting for the “Best Retro Item” title (we literally just invented it)

Perfect For:
Corporate teams looking for a meaningful, hands-on way to give back
Workmates who love a good banter session
Anyone who’s said, “We should totally do a team day!”

Where: Warnbro
When: We’re flexible! Ideally, we’d love your team for a half-day (around 3–4 hours) or a full day (6–7 hours) — depending on how deep you’re willing to dive into the donation pile. We can work with your availability and even split the day into shifts if needed. Just let us know what suits your team best!

Training
Absolutely! We’ll give your team a fun and easy orientation at the start — no opshop experience needed. Our friendly team will be there to guide you every step of the way. You bring the enthusiasm — we’ll bring the know-how!

Perks:
First dibs on that just must have vintage gem (guilt-free shopping!)
Good karma and boosted morale
Dress up and take Epic team selfies
The strange joy of conquering chaos
Bragging rights as certified opshop legends

Help us turn bags of mystery into community treasure — and have a seriously good time doing it.

Email hello@invisibleillnesses.com.au to join the fun. Your inner thrift queen (or king) will thank you.

FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) is a condition where there is a problem with how the brain and nervous system send and receive signals, but there is no structural damage like in other neurological disorders (e.g., stroke or multiple sclerosis). This can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:

Weakness or paralysis

Tremors or involuntary movements

Seizures (non-epileptic seizures)

Speech difficulties

Sensory issues (numbness, tingling, pain)

Cognitive difficulties (brain fog, memory issues)

FND is often misunderstood, as symptoms can be just as disabling as other neurological conditions, but standard medical tests may not show clear abnormalities. It is a real and serious condition that requires treatment, which can include physiotherapy, psychological therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
