🌟 Mark’s Independent Living Supports 🌟

As part of his Independent Living Supports, Mark likes to focus some of his time on his health and fitness. This week, he enjoyed getting out and about, staying active, and making the most of the exercise equipment along the Rosenthal Walkway. 💪🚶‍♂️

Mark worked through different pieces of equipment, building his strength and keeping his body moving while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. It was a great opportunity for him to practise healthy habits and boost his wellbeing.

Well done, Mark! 👏

✨ A new year means new adventures! ✨

Corinne, Amelia and Lucas recently explored an ultra-realistic underwater wonder world at Dreamskape 🐠🧜‍♀️

The 3D film made them feel as though they were truly surrounded by sea life and mermaids — an experience so immersive it felt almost real!

So, what did they think?

💬 Amelia said:
“I felt a bit dizzy as they were swimming towards me!”

💬 Corinne said:
“I would go again, but the sharks made me nervous!”

Support worker Veronica was on hand to support the activity as part of Sunbury’s Extended Hours Program, which runs during school holidays and at selected weekends and weeknights throughout the year.

Extended Hours activities can include trips to see a show, enjoying a meal at a restaurant, or a paint and sip night.

We'd love to hear where you'd like to go on day or nighttime adventure!

We’re so fortunate to live and work in some of the most incredible places across Australia — and Hanging Rock is definitely one of them. 🌿

If you’ve been following Cameron’s adventures, you’ll know he loves exploring local culture and history — whether that’s visiting a gallery, attending a sporting event, or discovering a great lunch spot.

Recently, Cameron travelled with Independent Living support from Jacquie at Distinctive Options to visit the legendary Hanging Rock near Woodend in Central Victoria.

While there, he spotted kookaburras in the stunning natural reserve and enjoyed seeing the sculpture inspired by Joan Lindsay’s famous mystery novel, Picnic at Hanging Rock.

What a memorable day out exploring one of Victoria’s most iconic landmarks! 📸✨

Did you know your NDIS Independent Living Supports (ILS) funding can be used for a support worker to help with household tasks, personal care, and to support you to get involved in your community?

Meet Dianne from Sunbury!
She uses her ILS funding to connect with a support worker from Distinctive Options, giving her the confidence and support to enjoy a wide range of community activities.

And yes — that even includes a fun game of bowling at Watergardens! 🎳

If you're thinking about ILS support in 2026, we’d love to chat.

Mark enjoys exploring all that Melbourne offers with support from his team of Independent Living Support workers.

To make the most of a sunny day, Mark and his support worker Michelle travelled by train from Sunbury and took a pleasant walk around the Shrine of Remembrance. It was a time to reflect and remember.

Travelling by train is one of the quickest and most cost effective ways to discover the great variety of cultural and sporting destinations that exist in this legendary city.
