🎵 Music Session Wrapped Up
As part of Mental Health Month, we had a go at something new with a range of niche instruments, including the handpan, ocarina, otamatone and kalimba, plus a ukulele. No musical experience was required, just curiosity, a few new sounds, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Thank you to Mel, Peer Worker from our Yudhilidin team, for facilitating and bringing along such a unique lineup of instruments for everyone to try.

As part of Mental Health Month, our staff were treated to a calming Nature Therapy immersion session led by Andrew, Accredited Social Worker from our NDIS & Chronic Disease team🌿💚
Andrew explored the benefits of connecting with nature for our psychological, biological and neurological wellbeing, mindfulness and simple ways we can immerse ourselves in nature in our own backyard.
And it wasn’t just theory! With eucalyptus gum leaves, nature sounds playing, low lighting and essential lemon myrtle oils diffusing through the room, Andrew created a relaxing environment for staff to experience some of these principles for themselves.
A calming and insightful reminder that sometimes supporting our wellbeing can be as simple as slowing down, engaging our senses and reconnecting with the natural world.

As part of Mental Health Month, we swapped screens for string and tried our hand at weaving. Led by Mel from our Indigenous Mental Health team, Yudhilidin, we headed outside to learn something new together.
This activity tied in perfectly with this year's theme, A Little Connection Goes a Long Way. Sometimes connection looks like sitting together in comfortable quiet, working on something with our hands while we chat (or don't).
A great reminder that looking after our mental health doesn't always need to be complicated.

The GP Access Hybrid Clinic Pilot at our Maitland clinic is helping us explore how technology and in-person clinical support can work together to deliver after-hours care.
Patients attending the Hybrid Clinic are supported in person by a Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse, who can complete assessments and observations and use examination equipment to support the consultation. A GP joins via secure video, allowing them to see, hear and assess the patient remotely.
Need after-hours care? Call GP Access on (02) 4926 0500 first. Our team will assess your needs and let you know the next steps, including whether a Hybrid Clinic appointment may be suitable.
Feedback from patients and staff throughout the three-month pilot will help us understand what works well, what can be improved and how models like this could support after-hours care in the future.

🥗 Food & Mood Session Wrapped Up
As part of Mental Health Month, we explored the benefits of eating well for mental health, with staff joining both in person and online to take part. Thank you to Sam , Accredited Practising Dietitian from our NDIS & Chronic Disease team, for sharing such practical, evidence-based insights into the connection between nutrition and how we feel. A great reminder that looking after our mental health can start with something as simple as what's on our plate 🍽️

As part of Mental Health Month, we've set up a Pet Photo Wall in the office and it's already filling up with some very good boys and girls. 🐶🐱
This year's theme, A Little Connection Goes a Long Way, is all about the small moments that boost our wellbeing and for a lot of us, that's a cuddle (or a chaotic zoomie) with our pets.
See some of our staffs' beautiful pets in the video below and feel free to add yours in the comments.

This National Carers Week, we're recognising the more than 3 million Australians who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend. This year's theme, "Care for a carer: Making carers visible," shines a light on the invaluable contribution of carers and encourages all of us to recognise, support and care for the carers in our own families, workplaces and communities.
Anyone can become a carer, at any time, and carers who have good access to support are shown to have healthier levels of wellbeing.
A few simple ways to support a carer today:
✅ Check in regularly
✅ Offer a break
✅ Acknowledge and appreciate their efforts
✅ Ask what support they actually need
✅ Encourage self-care.
