It was great to see accessibility front and centre at the recent NRL match between the Dolphins and Panthers. From the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative and Carpentaria sensory bags to the Accessibility Information stand, Changing Places facility and accessible viewing platform, attendees of all abilities enjoyed the night, cheering as the Penrith Panthers narrowly defeated the Dolphins, 23–22.

The stadium’s vibrant atmosphere made the event a memorable community gathering and we are proud to partner with Tourism and Events NT on events such as this.

Here are some highlights from the evening 📷

Over the past month, participants in Carpentaria's Nailed It woodworking program have worked on a special Anzac Day wreath, taking turns to cut, sand, engrave and paint each individual leaf and flower.

Commissioned by the Northern Territory Public Guardian and Trustee, and proudly presented by participants to Public Guardian Beth Walker, this unique piece will be laid at the upcoming Anzac Day Commemoration this Saturday at the Darwin Cenotaph War Memorial.
