Today we proudly celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 💙💛 — recognised here in Australia and around the world.

This year’s theme, “Together Against Loneliness,” reminds us of the importance of connection, inclusion, and belonging. It highlights that true inclusion goes beyond awareness—it’s about ensuring people with Down syndrome feel valued, supported, and meaningfully connected within their communities.

At Ancora, we recognise and celebrate the incredible individuals with Down syndrome who bring joy, strength, and diversity to our community every day.

Let’s continue to build a more inclusive world—one where everyone feels seen, supported, and truly belongs 💙💛

Did you know? March 21 (21/3) was chosen to represent the three copies of the 21st chromosome—also known as Trisomy 21—which is what causes Down syndrome.

💜 March is Purple Month – Raising Awareness for Epilepsy 💜

Throughout March in Australia, we recognise Purple Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of epilepsy.

💜 March 26 is Purple Day — a global day of awareness where people are encouraged to wear purple and start conversations about epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects more than 250,000 Australians and can impact people of all ages and abilities. For many individuals and families, epilepsy is more than just seizures — it can influence daily routines, education, employment, and community participation.

As a disability support provider, we are committed to:
💜 Promoting inclusion and understanding
💜 Supporting individuals living with epilepsy to live independently and confidently
💜 Creating safe and supportive environments for our participants
💜 Raising awareness to reduce stigma and misconceptions

By wearing purple on March 26 and throughout the month, we can help build a more informed, inclusive, and supportive community.

Let’s stand together this Purple Month. 💜

It's Invisible Disabilities Week — a time to raise awareness and understanding for the many people living with disabilities that aren't immediately visible. 💙
At Ancora, we recognise that not all challenges can be seen, and we're committed to providing respectful, inclusive support for every individual.

Let’s continue to break down barriers and build a more understanding community.

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

💚 Mental Health Awareness Month 💚
Mental health matters — for everyone.

At Ancora, we know how important it is to look after our mental wellbeing, not just for the people we support, but for our team too. As a disability support provider, we see every day how mental health impacts quality of life, connection, and confidence.

This month is a great reminder to check in with ourselves and each other, to have honest conversations, and to keep breaking the stigma around mental health.

Because when we take care of our minds, we all thrive.

From a coffee catch-up to a walk in a local park, small moments of connection can make a big difference.

This , Mental Health Australia have shared daily tips encouraging everyone to check in, show up, and remind each other: you’re not alone 💛
