International Day of People with Disability 2025 (IDPWD)

Today Westhaven held a speaking event to consider, and promote, the essential contributions and perspectives of people with disability on IDPWD.

We were privileged to hear from guest speaker, Mr. James Horsburgh, a Westhaven Board member and practicing solicitor. James delivered a powerful and highly resonant address, sharing his lived experience with disability.

As a key voice in Westhaven's strategic direction, James's insights as an advocate were crucial, providing our team with a deeper, actionable understanding of navigating life with a disability, and how vital our work is in this space.

Thank you James for giving your time, and sharing your journey with us.

📢 Mark Your Calendars! International Day of People with Disability is Next Week! 📢

Next Wednesday, December 3rd, Westhaven will join the global community in celebrating the UN's International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).

This day is all about increasing community awareness, understanding, and acceptance to remove physical, technological, and attitudinal barriers for people with disability.

The official 2025 theme is "Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress." This mission drives everything we do at Westhaven!

We are hosting a special internal event on the day, where our own Board Member, James Horsburgh, will be speaking. James brings invaluable lived experience and professional expertise to our Board, and we look forward to his insights on leadership and inclusion.

How will you take action to build a fairer, more inclusive society?

Moustache Mayhem at Westhaven! 🥸

We had a brilliant time uniting our community for a fun and engaging Movember session! Our wonderful Children and Young People and their dedicated Support Workers got creative together, adding colour and flair to the cause.

The activity was a blast: we all got involved colouring in moustaches, putting them on sticks, and then utilising them as props for a great group photo session. It was all about fun, engagement, and raising awareness for men's health!

This Movember, we celebrate the health and well-being of the men and boys across our Westhaven disability community.

10/11/2025

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to observe one minute of silence to acknowledge, honour, and remember the courage and sacrifice of all Australians who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Lest We Forget.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family, friends, and colleagues tragically affected by the recent loss of life at the Cobar mine. Our hearts are with the Cobar community and all those across the mining sector impacted by this sad event.
This tragedy is a sobering reminder of why workplace safety is paramount. At Westhaven, our commitment to providing a safe workplace is absolute.
While we proudly recognise Safe Work Month, we firmly believe safety is a focus every month. We achieve this through robust, everyday systems designed for:
Reporting: Encouraging a proactive culture where hazards and incidents are reported immediately.
Educating: Ensuring our team receives regular, appropriate training on safe work practices.
Informing: Keeping all employees updated on risks, new policies, and emergency protocols.
Monitoring Risks and Controls: Constantly assessing potential risks and reviewing the effectiveness of our control measures.
This commitment enhances the safety and well-being of our employees, our participants, and the children and young people we support. 'Everyone who goes to work has the right to come home'.
