💔 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 🥲

Chris Rocks Out at AC⚡DC Live!

In November, Chris and his support worker Ash made the exciting trip down to Melbourne to see ACDC live in concert at the iconic MCG. It was Chris’s first time seeing the legendary band perform in person and he absolutely loved it!

From the moment the music started, Chris was singing along with joy, especially when his all-time favourite song, Dirty Deeds, came on. The concert brought back a flood of memories from his high school days, when he first discovered ACDC on the radio and became a lifelong fan.

For Chris, the night was more than just a concert-it was a nostalgic journey back to his younger years, when he’d head out to pubs and clubs with mates, dancing and belting out ACDC tunes together.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our clients enjoying life’s pleasures and getting to experience unforgettable events like this one.

🩵What a day at the Ballarat Disability Expo! 🩵

We were thrilled to connect with so many incredible people-from passionate providers to community champions across Ballarat and greater Victoria.

Josh and Emma-Lea proudly represented Calacare, and let’s just say… our hearts (and cups) are full. 💫

It was inspiring to see conversations flowing, stories shared, and a collective commitment to inclusion and empowerment in the disability space. Events like this remind us why we do what we do.

A huge thank you to AssistU Care and Support Servicesfor hosting such a warm, inclusive, and impactful event. We’re already counting down to next year!
