Our customer Alex absolutely nailed Halloween, dressing up as the Ghost Bride from her favourite Disneyland attraction, The Haunted Mansion!

She joined in on a spooky trick-or-treating trail filled with laughter, costumes, and a touch of Halloween magic. We love seeing our customers bring their creativity and a few friendly scares to life. We hope your weekend was filled with eating candy and being scary!

💜 It’s National Carers Week! 💜
This week we celebrate and thank the 3 million+ Australians who care for a family member or friend, often quietly, always selflessly.

This year’s theme, “You are, know, or will be one,” reminds us that caring touches everyone at some point in life. Let’s take a moment to recognise the carers around us, and if you’re a carer yourself, don’t forget to care for you too.

🧠 Dementia Awareness Month
This month, our BCD team was honoured to join seniors at Café Connect, where we shared conversations about brain health, dementia awareness, and explored practical ways to age well at home.

💜Café Connect is such a valuable space for seniors, a place to engage in a variety of workshops and activities that promote a safe, healthy, and connected lifestyle. By talking openly about dementia, we help reduce stigma, empower individuals and families, and encourage people to access the right support early.

✨ A big thank you to Wollondilly Council and Western Sydney University for creating opportunities like this, and to the wonderful community members who came along, asked questions, and shared their stories.

🧩 What Do “Impairment Notices” Mean for You ❓

We know NDIS changes can feel overwhelming, so we’ve put together a simple guide to help you understand what the new impairment notices mean if you’re already an NDIS participant or thinking of applying.

Under the new rules, there are six categories of impairments the NDIS considers:
✨ Intellectual
✨ Cognitive
✨ Neurological
✨ Sensory
✨ Physical
✨ Psychosocial (mental health)
This guide explains what’s changed, what it means for your plan, and where to find support.

💛 Sometimes, the simplest check-in can make the biggest difference.
Creating a safe space for honest conversations, listening, and simply being there can powerfully support someone’s mental well-being.

You don’t need to be an expert, just a caring listener. If you notice someone who might be doing it tough, take the first step and start the conversation.

Nursing care at home is more than medical support. It’s about preventing health concerns before they become emergencies, reducing hospital visits, and managing conditions safely and comfortably in the place that feels best, at home. Our nurses work closely with your GP and Allied Health professionals to provide assessments, reviews, and ongoing support, bringing peace of mind and proactive care.
