Dovida Tweed & Northern Rivers

It was a wonderful morning on Wednesday, the 11th of March, as the annual Seniors Music Muster got underway at Ballina RSL Club Ltd.

This inclusive event, organised by Dementia Inclusive Ballina servicing Northern Rivers, invites our community — particularly people living with dementia or Parkinson’s disease, along with their carers — to come together for a morning of music, connection and good vibes. And it certainly delivered on all three.

With more than 50 people plus entertainers in attendance, it was a fantastic gathering, with everyone enjoying each other’s company and a delicious morning tea.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful team at Dementia Inclusive Ballina for arranging this vital event for those in our community who may not go to as many social events as they once did. Events like this create connection, joy and a sense of belonging that truly makes a difference.

With more than 35 stallholders from across the health and wellbeing sector, it was a terrific day filled with connection, conversation and a shared commitment to supporting our community. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year. 😊

It is imperative that together we make Parkinson’s Disease priority for research and development funding. Did you know that a staggering 98% of Parkinson's NSW funding comes from donations?
It is empowering to see them once again partnering with other wonderful organisations in this space to keep the conversation moving forward.

The INSIGHT into Parkinson's Online Conference is back for its 9th year. Since its inception, the INSIGHT into Parkinson's Online Conference has raised more than $243,500 for Parkinson’s charities worldwide, helping accelerate research, strengthen support services, and elevate advocacy efforts that drive meaningful change.

In 2026, we are proud to continue that tradition by partnering with three extraordinary organisations whose missions directly impact the lives of people living with Parkinson’s every day.

Hospital teams & Families — when a loved one isn’t ready for residential care, but can’t safely go home alone… we can help.

Dovida provides 24-Hour Continuous Care at home for people who require round-the-clock support following discharge or during periods of higher clinical needs.

We work alongside hospitals, GPs and allied health teams to safely transition clients home with:

✔ Awake overnight care
✔ Dementia & cognitive support
✔ Palliative & end-of-life care
✔ Post-surgical / post-hospital recovery
✔ Falls risk & complex mobility assistance
✔ Assist with daily living support
✔ Rapid commencement

Our goal is simple: Reduce risk, prevent readmission, and keep people where they want to be — at home.

Families gain peace of mind. Clinicians gain a reliable partner. Clients receive consistent, relationship-based care.

With local teams, we can respond quickly and tailor supports around discharge plans.

If you’re coordinating a complex discharge or supporting a family member who needs 24-hour cover, let’s talk.

Just as more research has been released today on the benefits of intergenerational friendships; Beating Hearts of Lismore enjoyed their first intergenerational meeting of 2026 with students from Corndale Public School. The school has been an integral participant in the social group for over 65s, for more than two years bringing huge benefits to both age groups.
Dovida Tweed & Northern Rivers are so proud to support such an important initiative in our area.
