What an incredible final day of our Melbourne Community Group STA 💙🏙️
Yesterday was Day 3 of our STA adventure and the group made the most of every moment, with more opportunities to explore new places, build confidence, and experience everything Melbourne has to offer.
The day started with a visit to ACMI, where participants enjoyed exploring the interactive exhibits and creative displays 🎮🎬 We then caught up with our Assist Sunday Group from Sale for an exciting afternoon at the Melbourne Aquarium 🐠🐧 There was so much to see and explore, and everyone loved discovering the amazing marine life and exhibits throughout the aquarium.
We also enjoyed a group lunch together at Southgate Food Court before heading back to our accommodation for our final night in Melbourne ❤️
Today our group are on their way home to Sale after an amazing weekend filled with new experiences, social connection, independence building, laughter, and memories that will last long after the trip has finished.
Our Community Group STAs are designed to provide meaningful community-based experiences while also giving carers a well-deserved break. They are a fantastic alternative to traditional facility-based respite, focusing on inclusion, adventure, confidence building, and real-life experiences in the community 🌏✨
