Week 1 of our Northwest Childrenโs NDIS School Holiday Recreation Program โ๏ธ
What an amazing first week it was - filled with fun, new experiences, and new friendships!
The group had a fantastic time exploring Area 51 in Castle Hill, visiting the zoo, enjoying a ferry ride around Sydney Harbour, making a splash at the splash park in Camden, and spending time at our very own Shine Shed North West. There truly was something for everyone to enjoy.
Weโre excited to welcome everybody back to keep the fun going this week!

Support Coordination shouldnโt feel confusing or overwhelming.
The right Support Coordinator helps you understand your options, connect with the right services, and feel confident about whatโs next.
At McCall, our team works across Southwest and Northwest Sydney, with strong local connections that go beyond just the NDIS.
Looking for supported accommodation in Western Sydney?
We currently have a range of SDA and SIL vacancies across Riverstone, South Windsor, Schofields and Windsor.
Each home offers something different, with features including wheelchair accessibility, modern open-plan living, outdoor BBQ areas and spaces that support both independence and connection.
Whether youโre exploring options for yourself or supporting someone to find the right fit, our team is here to help.
Earlier this week, Neil from Brisbane Rd attended his fortnightly physiotherapy session at Mobi Health. Neil attends physiotherapy once a fortnight to support his mobility, wellbeing and to keep active.
At his recent session, he took part in a ball throwing activity and did a fantastic job following along with the plan. Neil was very successful and proud of himself afterwards.
It was a lovely moment to see his hard work and confidence shine through.

Weโre introducing a new McCall content series: 5 things to know...
Itโs a simple way to share important topics in a clear, respectful and easy-to-understand format.
For Parkinsonโs Awareness Month, weโre starting with 5 things to know about Parkinsonโs disease.
Parkinsonโs is often spoken about in a very narrow way, but every personโs experience can look different. Taking time to understand that can make a real difference in how people feel seen, supported and respected.

Yesterday, the lucky winners of our Sydney Royal Easter Show ticket giveaway enjoyed a fantastic day out at the Show.
It was lovely to see the photos come through and hear about the fun they had across the day.
One parent shared that "Alex especially loved the carnival games behind ENGIE Stadium because they were super quiet and not too busy, which meant he could concentrate and win big".
With a range of quieter spaces, accessible features and different experiences to enjoy across the grounds, the Sydney Royal Easter Show offered something for everyone.
A big thank you to the Sydney Royal Easter Show for generously providing these tickets and helping make this experience possible for the families who attended.
A few special moments from the day are attached below.

Different people need different pathways, and the right support starts with understanding where you are now, what you want to achieve, and what is driving the problem.
A personalised plan can make all the difference when it comes to moving forward with confidence.
Community Program participants enjoyed Easter egg decorating to celebrate the Easter season this week, followed up by cooking up a delicious Easter BBQ followed by enjoying some yummy Easter eggs. It's been lovely to see both participants and team members enjoying the Easter spirit.
Hereโs a look at some of the fun.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day.
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, and it can look different for everyone. Thereโs no single โautism profileโ, and people experience the world in their own way.
Many people are identified in childhood, but plenty of autistic people are not recognised until adulthood, especially when theyโve spent years masking or being misunderstood.
This video from Autism Australia shares a helpful overview and a few key signs to be aware of, along with where to learn more.
