Grand Opening! 📣 🥳
halo’s Byford Office

After months of planning, preparation and a big move, we were excited to officially open the halo Byford Office on 10 September 2026!

The opening marked an exciting new chapter for halo and was celebrated alongside R U OK? Day. It was a wonderful opportunity for colleagues from across the organisation to come together, explore our new space and connect with one another.

With R U OK? Day reminding us of the importance of meaningful conversations and checking in with those around us, it was the perfect occasion to celebrate both our new home and the strong connections that make halo such a special community.

CEO Update 📣

Hi all,

Welcome to spring. I can't believe we are already in October; doesn't this year seem to be flying by?

I was thinking the other day about how easy it is to focus on what's next, what needs doing, and everything still sitting on the to-do list. Sometimes we forget to stop and look at how far we've come.

One of the things I enjoy most about my role is seeing and hearing about the achievements of the people we support. Sometimes they're big milestones, but often they're the little things that make the biggest difference: trying something new, building confidence, making a new friend, becoming more independent or simply having a really good day. Those moments are all worth celebrating. Life doesn't always go to plan, and of course there are usually challenges along the way, but it's important to recognise all the 'wins'. They might seem small at the time, but they all add up and are often the stepping stones to bigger achievements.

What makes halo special has always been the people. The people we support, families, carers, volunteers and staff all help create the welcoming and supportive community that so many people value. Every day I see examples of kindness, encouragement and genuine care. It's something I never take for granted, and I do believe it's one of our most unique qualities as an organisation.

Thank you for being part of the halo community and for allowing us to be part of your journey. The trust people place in us means a great deal, and we are grateful for it every day.

I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter and reading about some of the wonderful things that have been happening across halo. We have included some pictures of the opening of our new office in Byford. Just a reminder also that Byford is where the operations team work from and anything you might ordinarily come to Armadale for remains the same.

Have a wonderful October!

Kind wishes,
Bridget Harvey

A little time can mean a lot. 💛

Sometimes, making a difference can be as simple as showing up — sharing a cuppa, having a chat, going for an outing, or simply spending time together.

Volunteering with halo is about connection, companionship and helping someone feel seen, valued and less alone.

You don’t need to do something huge to make an impact. Sometimes, being there is enough.

A little time. A lot of difference.

Myth vs Truth: Support is personal, not one-size-fits-all 👀

This month, we’re continuing our Myth vs Truth series by looking at the idea that asking for support means losing independence, becoming a burden, or fitting into a set system.

The truth is, good support should be shaped around the person.

It can ease pressure on individuals, families and carers.
It can help people stay connected to their community.
It can support different ages, abilities, goals, routines and lifestyles.

Whether it’s aged care, disability assistance, support at home, or help getting out into the community, person-centred care is about working with people — not taking over.

At halo, we believe support should feel respectful, flexible and empowering, helping people feel safer, more confident and more connected in everyday life.

💬 What’s one myth about support that you’ve heard before?

Swipe through as we bust a few more common myths about care, support and independence.

Client of the Month ✨
Margaret

Margaret has had a passion for sport for many years, first taking up golf at the age of 35. Over the years, her talent and dedication have seen her proudly take home numerous trophies in both golf and badminton.

Her love of golf is still going strong, with Margaret continuing to hit the course three times a week at Serpentine and District Golf Club.

It’s wonderful to see Margaret continuing to enjoy the sport she loves while staying active, social and involved. What an amazing achievement and a true inspiration!

Sometimes, making a difference starts with something as simple as a conversation, a cuppa and a little time. ☕💛

Through halo’s Bespoke Befriending Program, volunteers are matched with older people to share meaningful conversation, companionship and connection.

You don’t need special skills — just kindness, reliability and a willingness to be there. Full training and support are provided, and volunteering can be flexible around your availability.

Be there. Be a friend. Be the change.

🍩 Recipe of the Month: Oven Baked Donuts!

Recipe inspired by georgegeorgievski from George Georgievski 💛 Thank you for the delicious idea!

Fancy a simple homemade treat? These easy oven-baked donuts are quick to make, use everyday ingredients, and you can even make them without a donut mould! 😋

You’ll need:
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 5 ml vanilla essence
• 2 tbsp sugar
• ¾ cup milk

Method:
1️⃣ Make the batter: Preheat your oven to 190°C. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until a smooth batter forms.

💡 Quick tip: You can also mix the batter in a protein shaker, just make sure you shake it well!

2️⃣ Shape the donuts: Lightly grease a donut mould and fill with the batter.

No mould? No worries!
Place teaspoon-sized portions of batter, around 5g each, onto a lined and lightly greased baking tray to make little donut bites.

Optional: Add small pieces of fruit or berries on top before baking. 🍓🫐

3️⃣ Bake at 190°C for around 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy! Allow to cool for a few minutes, lightly dust with icing sugar and enjoy! ✨
