Some of our amazing participants took the trip to the big smoke to visit Scienceworks Museum yesterday. It was an engaging but sensory‑calming environment for them, offering the perfect balance of excitement and comfort. Our group explored hands‑on exhibits, experimented with interactive displays and discovered the wonders of science in a way that felt safe, fun and empowering.

From learning about space and motion to trying out the sports lab and wandering through the lighting and sound installations, each participant was able to engage at their own pace and follow their curiosity. Beyond the learning, the day was a fantastic opportunity for community engagement, navigating public spaces, sharing conversations, building confidence in new environments and enjoying a meaningful day out together.

Excursions like this remind us just how capable our participants are when given the right support and the right setting to shine.

We’d love to send a huge congratulations to our amazing support worker Britt and her partner Robert on the arrival of their beautiful daughter, Ella May.

We were treated to a surprise visit at the Hub this morning and our hearts absolutely melted. There’s something so special about those newborn cuddles — they just hit differently. Celebrating new life and supporting our team through the adventures of parenthood is incredibly important to us.

Massive congratulations to Britt and Robert. Little Ella is simply adorable.👼🏻🤱🍼🥰🩷

Nothing brightens our week like seeing our participants absolutely crushing it at the gym! 💪😄

And judging by this grin, we’d say someone is having a pretty amazing time.

A weekly workout isn’t just about lifting weights — it lifts confidence, boosts mood, builds independence and turns small wins into big smiles. It’s all about feeling strong, capable and proud of what’s possible.

At Calacare, we love cheering on moments like these. Strong vibes, strong strides, strong community. 🏋❤️

In December, our wonderful participant Fiona and her Support Worker Ellie embraced the festive spirit by attending the Power FM Christmas lights display in Ballarat, a beloved annual tradition that transforms the city into a wonderland of colour and cheer.

Fiona wandered through illuminated streets, marvelling at the dazzling reindeer sculptures, glowing trees and whimsical inflatables that lit up the night. The atmosphere was electric with laughter and brought so much joy to Fiona. Ellie snapped photos while Fiona posed with Santa cutouts and oversized candy canes, both their smiles reflecting the joy of the season.

Its moments like these that warms our heart and makes us so happy to see our participants enjoying all the magical things that make Christmas special.

💔 Standing Together in Grief💔

The tragedy at Bondi Beach has left us deeply saddened. Our hearts ache for the lives lost, the families grieving and the community shaken.

At Calacare, we believe that compassion and connection are the foundations of healing. In moments of sorrow, we stand for dignity, safety and the unwavering support of one another.

We hold space for grief, but also for hope - hope that communities can come together, that kindness can prevail and that care can light the way forward.

To everyone touched by this tragedy, you are not alone 🥲
