Four years ago, a group of PALM (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility team) members arrived from Fiji - bringing warmth, energy and a big boost to our Capecare community.

At a time when aged care services were facing workforce shortages following COVID, these incredible women stepped in to support our residents and staff. Over the years, they’ve built strong connections, grown their skills, and become a valued part of daily life at Capecare.

This month, we’re proud to be celebrating a special milestone. Four of our original team members - Tama, Vika, Lomani and Lita - are now permanent Capecare employees.

This next step also provides a pathway to permanent residency, meaning they can look forward to welcoming their families to Australia.

We marked the occasion with a beautiful afternoon tea, thoughtfully organised by the team themselves as a gesture of thanks.

We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Capecare family.

Easter came early at Capecare, with a special visit from our intergenerational kindy friends this week. 🐣

The buzz grew as our Busselton residents joined the children for an Easter-themed morning of music, movement and creativity. From a lively concert to egg-and-spoon fun, chocolate-coloured playdough and colouring in, the morning sparked plenty of laughter and meaningful moments between generations.

Moments like these—shared laughter, connection and simple joy—are what make our intergenerational program so special.

A heartfelt thank you to Josette, the teachers and all the kindy kids from St Mary MacKillop College for continuing to bring such energy and happiness to our residents and staff.

We feel so honoured to have the pleasure of caring for Joan to enable her to continue living at home. She is truly one of a kind! Happy 107th birthday to an amazing woman.

What a privilege to celebrate a very special milestone today with Busselton’s own Joan Harlow on her 107th birthday 🎉

Joan has lived an extraordinary life, from growing up in Perth in the 1920s, to her wartime years, to calling Busselton home. But today was all about celebrating her warmth, wit and wonderful spirit.

Amazingly she still lives in her own home here in Busselton thanks to the amazing home support service of Capecare.

She credits her long life to good food, music and reading - and it’s easy to see why she’s still so full of life.

Happy 107th birthday, Joan 💛

A generous donation from the Dunsborough Lions Club is helping improve care for our residents.

The Club recently donated a portable bladder scanner, which will allow our nursing team to quickly assess residents and support earlier diagnosis and treatment of potentially serious conditions.

Capecare Board Member and Dunsborough GP Dr Mostyn Hamdorf said the scanner provides a quick, safe and non-intrusive way to differentiate between urinary obstruction and dehydration.

“For older people, particularly those who may struggle to communicate their symptoms, this technology helps take the guesswork out of diagnosis,” Dr Hamdorf said.

The $6,000 scanner will be used across Capecare’s Dunsborough and Busselton residential facilities, as well as by nurses supporting home care clients. By enabling on-site assessments, the device has the potential to reduce hospital visits, improve health outcomes and ease pressure on local health services.

Dunsborough Lions Club Secretary Kaye McCormick said the Club was proud to support an organisation that plays such an important role in the local community.

Thank you to the Dunsborough Lions Club for their continued support of Capecare and our residents.
