At Harbison, we are committed to continually improving the way we support people living with dementia. 💙

As part of our response to the strengthen Standards, we’ve implemented 📱 Tell TiNA, Dementia Australia ’s Training Needs Analysis Tool, available through the Ask Annie app (a learning and support app developed by Dementia Australia to help health, aged care, disability and community care workers improve their skills).

Tell TiNA helps identify learning opportunities for care teams, ensuring skills and knowledge continue to evolve alongside best practice.

We completed our first Tell TiNA campaign late last year and we’re excited to turn these insights into meaningful, targeted professional development, strengthening our care today and into the future.

Because being a leader in care means never standing still, it means listening, learning and setting the standard. 💪

✨How Gabby describes Harbison: Inclusive, innovative, empowering 🙌
✨What it’s like to work here? Rewarding, dynamic and supportive 🤝

A wonderful day was had at the St Michael’s Walk-a-Thon last week! 🎉�

Our residents are quickly becoming very popular among the students 😄

Some of our residents joined in for a lap around Lake Alexandra 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, while others helped run the water station, filling drink bottles and handing out refreshing watermelon and orange slices 🍉🍊

We brought water, we brought shade and most importantly… we brought the cheer squad! 🙌

Well done to all the students for completing the Walk-a-Thon in the heat and thank you for inviting us to be part of such a fun and meaningful day! 💚
