Aged Care Employee Day is a special day to recognize and thank the dedicated individuals who work in the aged care sector. In Australia, it is celebrated on August 7th every year.

On this day, we acknowledge the hard work, compassion, and dedication of aged care employees who provide essential care and support to older Australians. Their roles can include nursing, personal care, lifestyle activities, and more.

If you know someone who works in aged care, take a moment to thank them for their tireless efforts and show your appreciation for all that they do!

🌟 Let's talk about what a disability really is. 🌟

Disability isn't just a word; it's a diverse spectrum of experiences, challenges, and abilities. It encompasses physical, cognitive, sensory, and mental health differences. But more importantly, it's about the resilience, strength, and unique perspectives of individuals who navigate a world not always designed with them in mind.

It's about understanding that disability isn't a flaw or a limitation; it's a natural part of the human experience. It's about recognizing the barriers society puts up and working together to tear them down. It's about embracing inclusion, accessibility, and equity for all.

Let's redefine disability not as a deficit, but as a celebration of diversity. Let's create a world where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and contribute their talents to the fullest. Let's build a future where disability is not just accepted but embraced with open arms.

Because in the end, it's not about what we can't do; it's about what we can achieve when we come together with empathy, understanding, and compassion. 💪✨

🧠💙 Update: Joshies Journey 💙🧠

Joshies journey through acquired brain injury stands as a testament to resilience and the power of prayer. Here's a deeper insight into his remarkable recovery:

In addition to the traumatic brain injury, Josh encountered a multitude of challenges, including but not limited to:

Bilateral Le Forte Type II Facial Fractures: The impact of the accident resulted in severe facial fractures, significantly complicating Joshies injuries.

Subdural Hematoma + Frontal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage + Epidural Hematoma: These brain injuries compounded Josh's condition, presenting substantial obstacles on his path to recovery.

Bilateral Pneumothoraces: Alongside his brain trauma, Josh grappled with bilateral pneumothoraces, highlighting the breadth and severity of his injuries.

His recovery journey defied expectations, characterized by remarkable progress and unwavering determination. Joshies resilience serves as an inspiring example, emphasizing the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. He had a craniotomy, craniectomy, and cranioplasty within nine months of the initial trauma impacted on the brain.

Tragically, Joshies journey also bears witness to the devastating impact of unforeseen accidents. The loss of his best friend, Bailey, in the same tragic incident underscores the profound sense of loss and serves as a poignant reminder of life's unpredictability.

The harrowing events of that fateful night in Buddina echo as a stark reminder of how swiftly life can change. Amidst such trials, the outpouring of love, prayers, and unwavering support has been a source of strength and solace.

As we observe Brain Injury Awareness Month, let's extend our support not only to Josh but also to all those affected by similar tragedies. Let's advocate for safer roads, raise awareness, and ensure adequate support for individuals impacted by brain injuries.

Thank you for standing with us, for your compassion, and for being part of . Together, we are fortified in hope, resilience, and community support.

With love and gratitude,

Deborah White
