Dr Brian Venzke never forgot the care his mother received from BlueCare years ago. That gratitude stayed with him throughout his life.

His gift in Will has created two beautiful Rose Gardens at BlueCare Lauriston in Ipswich – spaces where residents, families, and staff now find peace and connection. Safe pathways, renovated respite rooms, and revitalized communal spaces. From his garden to ours, Brian's legacy blooms on.

This is the power of a gift in Will – creating room for dignity, comfort, and joy for generations of older Queenslanders.

Charity Wills Weeks (16-30 March): Safewill is offering free Wills (normally $160) to help you protect your loved ones and, if you choose, leave a lasting legacy of care.

After caring for your loved ones, you might consider leaving a gift to BlueCare - ensuring compassionate aged care continues for generations to come.

Positioned at the northern end of Redcliffe, bordering Scarborough, New Haven feels like a hidden gem by the bay.

From above, these views capture just how naturally the village blends into the surrounding neighbourhood — peaceful, established and connected to the local community, yet just a short stroll to the waterfront. It is part of what makes New Haven so special. You are close to the water, close to local shops and cafes, and close to everything that makes this part of Redcliffe such a lovely place to live.

There is an ease to life here that is hard to miss. Looking out over the village to the water, or across the leafy streets that surround it, New Haven feels calm, welcoming and beautifully at home in its setting. It offers that rare balance of privacy and connection — a place where you can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle while still feeling part of a real neighbourhood.

It is easy to see why people choose to start their next chapter here.

Meet Brendan 👋 A personal carer at BlueCare Springwood Community Centre, who believes care is about more than daily tasks, it’s about connection.

After joining BlueCare a year ago, Brendan started a simple coffee catch‑up that’s grown into a much‑loved fortnightly companionship group. Clients now come together to share stories, enjoy meals and spend time out in the community.

“At first people can be a little shy,” Brendan says, “but once the conversations start, confidence grows and friendships form.”

Connection is always at the heart of BlueCare - bringing people together, reducing loneliness and creating a true sense of belonging. 💙

This Sunday, 8 March, we celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) - a chance to recognise the incredible women who shape and strengthen our BlueCare community every, single day. IWD also offers a moment to reflect on the many women we serve, who have overcome their own challenges in life to pave the way for future generations of women.

Across Queensland, women throughout our BlueCare services lead with compassion, skill and resilience. Whether providing care on the frontline, supporting families, innovating behind the scenes or guiding our teams, the impact of BlueCare women is felt every moment of every day. This is why empowering women in the workplace is a commitment we are proud of. For IWD this year, UN Women Australia are sharing a promise that resonates deeply with our BlueCare community: Balance the Scales.

is a promise that every woman and girl, regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives. Yet in 2026, too many across Australia and the world are still denied that fair go. Equality is not about advantage for some; it’s about dignity, safety and fairness for all.

There is still a long way to go before we can truly Balance the Scales, yet we must also take this moment to reflect on how far we have come, and the many inspiring women who walked before us so that we may run.

To the women who use our BlueCare services across Queensland, we are privileged to serve you. Thank you for the lives you have led, the families and communities you have helped shape, and the wisdom you share with us every day. Your resilience, stories and strength continue to inspire the care we provide and the values we uphold.

When women and girls stand equal, families are stronger, workplaces are fairer, communities thrive and society becomes safer for everyone.

This international Women’s Day let’s Balance the Scales together.

To all the women of BlueCare: Thank you!

Last week, our team at BlueCare Capricorn Aged Care celebrated an incredible milestone as our much loved resident Thelma turned 108. Family, friends, staff and special guests Michelle Landry MP and Nigel Hutton MP joined the festivities to help make it a day to remember.

Born on March 4, 1918, Thelma is the very picture of style and grace - never seen without her hair perfectly set, makeup just right, and a carefully chosen outfit and jewellery.

Having been a talented seamstress who created countless beautiful wedding dresses over the years, it might take you by surprise to learn that Thelma’s secret to her incredible longevity is simple: “Never get married!”

With music always close to her heart (especially the timeless songs of Nat King Cole), she delighted guests by singing some of her favourite tunes before enjoying a BBQ and birthday cake!

From all of us at BlueCare, congratulations to Thelma on 108 inspiring years 🎉

Our Redcliffe and Woody Point communities came together this week to celebrate Lunar New Year in the most wonderful way! 🧧✨

It was a joy to see so many smiling faces as our clients enjoyed a vibrant day filled with creativity, connection and plenty of laughter.

From lantern making and cherry blossom painting to rolling up their very own delicious rice paper rolls, everyone embraced the festivities with enthusiasm.

We also shared fascinating insights into Lunar New Year traditions and culture, before finishing the celebration with a delicious spread of traditional Chinese cuisine for lunch. 🥢🥟

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. Happy Lunar New Year 🎉
