Recently, women and children from our IFSS (Individual & Family Support Service) Women's Social Group came together with for a special floristry workshop, creating beautiful handmade bouquets before delivering them to residents at SwanCare .

The morning was filled with creativity, conversation and connection, but the most memorable moments came during the visit itself.

One resident was so delighted to see the children that he became emotional while reading the handwritten card attached to his bouquet.

It was a simple but powerful reminder of how meaningful connection can be, especially between generations who may not have otherwise met.

For many of the women and children involved, it was an opportunity to learn new skills, connect with others and give back to the community. For the residents, it brought joy, conversation and a chance to connect with new faces.

A heartfelt thank you to The REED Collective and SwanCare for making this meaningful experience possible. We look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership. 💜

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we celebrated 20 years of Communities for Children Southeast Metro with our biggest-ever Family Carnival.

More than 1,000 people joined us for a day of fun, connection and community, creating memories with free activities, entertainment, food and family experiences. It was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when communities come together to support children and families.

As we look back on these special moments, we’re also looking ahead...the Carnival is set to return in 2027!

For many of us, using a computer, sending an email or finding information online is second nature.

For others, these skills can open the door to greater confidence, independence and connection.

Over the past two months, 11 CaLD women have taken part in a foundational digital literacy program delivered through a partnership between Communicare’s Rise & Thrive Women’s Group and Multicultural Futures Inspire Me program.

Participants learned basic computer skills, how to use email and the internet, create simple documents and navigate online tools in a supportive environment.

One participant shared:

“The first time I tried using a computer, it was very difficult. Through this program I’ve gained confidence and improved my skills. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve learned.”

Thank you to Multicultural Futures, our Bridge to Belonging team, and the women who embraced the opportunity to learn, connect and grow together.

Communicare partners with Centrecare to deliver the Bridge to Belonging program, funded by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

What a great turnout for our Power of Play workshop! 💛

It was lovely to see families come together to play, connect and learn more about how simple moments of play can support children’s development and wellbeing.

A huge thank you to Nicole from for sharing her incredible knowledge and making the session so practical and fun, and to Woodlupine Family Centre for hosting us.

Recently, while visiting South Hedland, our CEO Helen Mitchell joined local partners and stakeholders for an immersive experience at Breathing Space, providing insight into the program and the journey participants take as they work to address their use of violence.

Through activities including emotional check-ins, cultural experiences, yarning by the fire, sharing damper and participating in a collaborative mural, guests experienced some of the ways Breathing Space supports reflection, accountability and behaviour change.

The visit provided valuable opportunities for discussion, feedback and shared learning, helping us continue to strengthen our approach and support better outcomes for individuals, families and communities.

A heartfelt thank you to our South Hedland Breathing Space team for creating such a meaningful experience, and to Hope Community Services, Adult Community Corrections, Julyardi Aboriginal Corporation, Bloodwood Tree , Ashburton Aboriginal Corporation Pilbara, Aboriginal Family Legal Service, Pilbara Community Legal Service Inc and MacKillop Family Services for sharing your time, perspectives and support.

💙 Together, strong partnerships help create safer futures for our communities.

What does keeping children safe look like in your day-to-day work?

We asked Communicare team members from across the organisation, and their answers show that every conversation, every action and every connection matters.

Because child protection isn’t just one person’s responsibility, it’s all of ours.

This National Child Protection Week, let’s keep listening, speaking up and creating safer environments where every child can feel safe, supported and heard.
