National Reconciliation Week is here (27 May – 3 June). 🖤💛❤️

These dates are a powerful bookend in our nation's history, marking the 1967 Referendum and the historic Mabo decision. For us in the support and disability space, this week is a beautiful reminder that true inclusion must always go hand-in-hand with reconciliation. 🤝🌿

First Nations Australians experience disability at more than twice the rate of non-Indigenous Australians. That means our commitment to the NDIS choice-and-control philosophy must include providing culturally safe, respectful, and accessible support that honours connection to family and Country.

How can we take action together?
✅ Listen and learn: Explore First Nations histories and stories using accessible formats, plain language, or visual aids so everyone can participate.
✅ Support Indigenous-led spaces: Choose Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned businesses for resources, sensory tools, and community programs.
✅ Honour the land: Take time during support walks to learn about the Kaurna land we stand on here in Adelaide and its deep history.

Let’s turn our awareness into everyday action. What step will you and your team take this week?

🍝 Cooking Group! The Ultimate Winter Comfort Menu! 🍰
The kitchen was buzzing this week as our cooking group tackled some absolute classics. From layering the perfect pasta to that final dusting of cocoa, it was a busy (and delicious!) session.

On the menu this week:
Homemade Lasagne: Layers of rich bolognese, pasta, and melted cheese. There’s nothing quite like a bubbling tray of lasagne fresh out of the oven!

Classic Chicken Noodle Soup: The perfect winter warmer. We loaded ours with fresh herbs and plenty of noodles—guaranteed to soothe the soul.

Decadent Chocolate Cake: We couldn't finish without something sweet! We baked a moist, rich chocolate cake that was the perfect reward for all our hard work.

The Secret Ingredient? Teamwork!
Whether it was stirring the soup or getting the lasagne layers just right, everyone played a part in making this week’s feast a success. There’s something special about sitting down together to enjoy a meal that’s been made with a bit of love and a lot of laughter.

It’s safe to say no one went home hungry this week!

🍲 On the Menu This Week: Comfort & Roll! 🍱

Our cooking group was back at it this week, and the kitchen smelled absolutely incredible. We decided to master two very different styles of "comfort food"—one to warm the soul and one to test our rolling skills!

What we whipped up:
• Hearty Chicken & Rice Soup: The ultimate "hug in a bowl." We packed this with fresh veg and tender chicken to keep the autumn chills at bay.

• Teriyaki Makizushi: We tried our hand at sushi rolling! Our handmade rolls featured:
o Succulent Teriyaki Chicken
o Creamy Avocado
o Crunchy Carrot & Cucumber
o A generous drizzle of Kewpie Mayo (the secret ingredient every sushi lover knows!)

The Highlight of the Day:
There’s a real art to getting that perfect sushi roll without losing the filling, but everyone did an amazing job. Whether it was perfectly round or a little "rustic," every single bite was delicious.
It’s always a joy to see everyone sharing tips, laughter, and of course, a great meal together. There's nothing quite like the community spirit found around a kitchen bench!

Happy Easter, everyone! 🐣✨ (3–6 April)

The office will be close Friday the 3rd and Monday the 6th. Our busy team are still available for emergencies on 0431-113-249.

Whether you’re heading away for the long weekend or enjoying a staycation here in Adelaide, Easter is such a special time to slow down and connect with the people we love. From its ancient origins to our modern-day traditions, it’s a season of hope and new beginnings. 🌿

How can we make this Easter the most inclusive one yet?
✅ Mix up the hunt: Put some eggs at eye level for wheelchair users and those who find it hard to bend down.
✅ Treats for all: Consider non-food treats like stickers or small toys for mates with allergies or dietary needs.
✅ Be a good neighbour: Keep those footpaths clear for prams and mobility scooters during your Easter Sunday walks!

Wishing you all a safe, relaxing, and chocolate-filled long weekend! 🍫

Happy Harmony Week! 🧡✨ (16–22 March)

Did you know that nearly half of all Australians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was? Since Harmony Day first started in 1999, it has been a time for us to celebrate the vibrant "patchwork" of cultures that make our community so special. 🌍🇦🇺

Whether it’s through sharing a meal, learning a new greeting, or simply wearing a splash of orange, this week is about celebrating the things that bring us together.

How are you celebrating Harmony Week?
✅ Go Orange: Wear something orange to show your support for an inclusive Australia! 🍊
✅ Taste of Harmony: Try a new recipe or visit a local restaurant from a culture different to your own.
✅ Start a Conversation: Ask a friend or colleague about their heritage and the traditions that are important to them.

Let’s keep working together to make sure that in our community, every single person feels they truly belong. 🧡
