That’s a wrap on our cooking classes for 2025!

Our wonderful group finished the year on a delicious high, coming together to make homemade baklava to celebrate a year filled with cooking, learning, and connection.

The sweet treat was enjoyed by everyone, with plenty of leftovers to take home and share with family and friends!

A huge thank you to our incredible Dietitian, Munise, who leads the program each week with creativity, enthusiasm, and recipes that are always a crowd favourite.

If you’re interested in joining our cooking program in 2026, we’d love to hear from you.

Macedon Ranges Health was thrilled to again be part of the annual Gisborne Festival last Friday!

It was wonderful to see our team join the festive spirit alongside residents from The Gisborne Oaks care home as they proudly took part in the street parade.

We also loved connecting with the community at our MRH stall, where we ran a fun quiz (with prizes!) and a free raffle that certainly drew a crowd.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, take part, and share in the celebrations. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

We’re excited to share that a temporary pop-up Op Shop has opened right here at MRH - located in the old café space!

This little shop is a community-friendly, honesty-based space, meaning it won’t be staffed. There will be a payment box - so make sure you bring along some spare change!

You’ll find a range of Macedon Ranges school uniforms for only $1 per item! Feel free to browse anytime you’re visiting the centre.

Pop in, have a look, and spread the word!

Yesterday, we joined communities across Australia and around the world to mark International Day of People with Disability, a day grounded in respect, understanding, and the right of every person to belong.

At Macedon Ranges Health, we believe health and care should be accessible, respectful and inclusive for everyone. We’re proud to support people of all abilities, visible or invisible, to live their healthiest, most empowered lives.

This year’s global theme is: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.” Together, we can break down barriers to build a community where everyone has equal opportunity.

To everyone in our community: let’s listen, learn, and act with empathy and inclusion. Every small action helps make our region a place where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.

Year 6 to 7 Wellbeing Transition Expo a Huge Success!

On Monday we welcomed around 90 local Grade 6 students to our very first Year 6 to 7 Wellbeing Transition Expo - and what an amazing day it was!
Students rotated through three interactive stations focused on managing big feelings, setting healthy boundaries, building positive friendships, and developing healthy habits as they prepare for secondary school.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners who made the day so engaging and supportive:

Gisborne Secondary College
Youth Live4Life
Stride
Macedon Ranges Youth

We’re so proud of our local young people and the courage, curiosity, and kindness they brought to the day. This pilot event is just the beginning, and we’re excited to continue supporting students as they take this next big step in their school journey.

A big thank you to all schools, teachers, and partners who made this possible!
Here’s to building confidence, resilience, and strong connections as our young people move into Year 7.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

Today we stand together to call for an end to violence against women and girls — a human-rights violation that affects every community. This day also launches the annual 16 Days of Activism, a global movement towards prevention, support and accountability.

What we can all do to support:
• Talk openly – help break the silence and shame.
• Support survivors – believe them, refer them, stand with them.
• Challenge attitudes and behaviours – respect, equality and safety start with each of us.
• Promote safe workplaces, safe homes and safe communities for women and girls.
At Macedon Ranges Health we are committed to:
• Creating safe, inclusive spaces for women and girls in our community.
• Partnering with local services and supports that intervene and prevent gender-based violence.
• Raising awareness through programs, events and resources – because everyone has the right to feel safe, respected and valued.

Today, we wear orange — a to symbolise hope and a future without violence.

Let’s pledge: “No excuse. No violence. No more.”

International Men’s Day

Today we recognise the positive contributions men and boys make to our families, workplaces and communities and the importance of supporting their health and wellbeing.

The 2025 theme is “Supporting Men and Boys” - a reminder that we all play a role in creating safe, supportive spaces where men can talk openly and seek help when needed.

Let’s celebrate the men who make a difference every day and keep encouraging connection, kindness and conversation.

World Diabetes Day

Today we come together to raise awareness for diabetes and support everyone those living with or at risk of this condition. According to Diabetes Victoria, over 7 in 10 people with diabetes are of working age and 3 in 4 experience mental-health challenges.

This year’s theme is: “Know more and do more for diabetes at work.” Let’s break the stigma, empower our communities and workplaces, and ensure everyone has access to the support they need.

✅ Get involved:
• Share this post and start conversations.
• Encourage colleagues, friends or family to learn more.
• Head to Diabetes Victoria’s website for toolkits and resources. Diabetes Victoria

At Macedon Ranges Health, we’re here to support you with:

Today, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who have served in wars, conflicts and peace operations.

Lest we forget.

At Macedon Ranges Health, we proudly display poppies to commemorate Remembrance Day. We would like to thank community members from Gisborne and Riddells Riddells Creek Neighbourhood House for sharing their skills including crochet and knitting to contribute to our display.

KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN! 📣

Strong communities start in shared spaces and shared moments. Neighbourhood Houses are essential for fostering those moments and connections. Every week, 185,000 people access Neighbourhood Houses in Victoria for resilience, friendship, wellbeing, learning, inclusion, and connection.

Neighbourhood Houses have faced rising costs, increasing community need and an erosion of core funding. Our funding no longer covers staff wages, let alone operational costs. Around half of all Neighbourhood Houses in Victoria are running at a loss. This cannot continue.

We are asking and the Victorian Government to urgently restore funding to historical levels through a 25% increase, allowing Neighbourhood Houses to continue providing communities with essential support and connection.

To show your support, visit us here at MRFEC, your local Neighbourhood House and sign a postcard supporting this ask and share what your Neighbourhood House means to you. For more information and to show your support, you can also visit https://www.nhvic.org.au/2026-campaign 🥳
