Last weekend we had the pleasure of hosting our Parent Carer Paint & Sip, and what an amazing afternoon it was!

There was plenty of laughter and creativity, and most importantly, it was an opportunity for connection - to share stories and support.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon so special. 💛🎨

And a big thanks to our incredible hosts Vivid Paint Studio and Bar Restaurant!

Today is International Women's Day! 🌏

This year, the United Nations theme is 'Balance the Scales" - highlighting the urgent need to ensure fair, inclusive and accessible justice for every woman and girl.

Today we're giving a big shout out to the amazing women in the ARC community - women with disability, family members, carers, advocates, suporters and staff. And we're backing a future where the scales keep tipping further toward inclusion, safety and equal access for all.

Happy International Women's Day. 💐
