We are absolutely blown away by the creativity and imagination of one of our clients brought to life with these LEGO builds. His dedication to building and creating these masterpieces are admirable!

Whether it’s the precision in the structure, the playful details, or the bold color combinations - these creations are a fantastic reminder that LEGO isn’t just a toy… it’s an art form!

Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us. We love seeing ideas turn into brick-by-brick pieces of art.

We'd love to see any of your creations - doesn't have to be Lego!

Yuki took the leap off Cowes Pier in Phillip Island over the weekend. He was fearless, free, and fully living in the moment. He went onto jumping off for three times!

Nothing beats that rush of diving into the ocean with the wind in your face and the crowd cheering you on. This is what memories are made of!

Would you jump? 😅👇

💜 Feeding Tube Awareness Week 💜

This week, we’re shining a light on feeding tubes - what they are, why they’re used, and the people who rely on them every day.

Feeding tubes are not a “last resort” or a sign of giving up. They’re a tool that supports nutrition, growth, energy, and quality of life for children and adults who cannot meet their nutritional needs orally. For many families, feeding tubes mean health, stability, and hope.

Behind every tube is a person with goals, personality, and a full life - and families who show incredible strength, advocacy, and love.

Pictured here is Katelyn, who receives support from Experience Life and is a proud Tubie. Katelyn’s journey is a powerful reminder that tube feeding is just one part of a full, vibrant life - and something to be proud of.

Let’s use this week to:
✨ Raise awareness
✨ Challenge stigma and misconceptions
✨ Support and celebrate tube-fed individuals and their families

If you or someone you love uses a feeding tube, we see you. You are not alone 💜

A message from Kylie, CEO of Experience Life: as we come to the end of another year, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the support, trust, and dedication that have shaped our journey. Whether you’ve worked alongside us, partnered with us, or supported our work in any way, you’ve played an important role in making this year meaningful and successful.

I’m incredibly grateful for the relationships we’ve built and the milestones we’ve reached together. Your commitment and collaboration make all the difference.

As the Christmas season approaches, I hope it brings you a chance to unwind, recharge, and enjoy time with the people who matter most. May your holidays be filled with joy, warmth, and moments that inspire you for the year ahead.

I’ll also be taking some time to disconnect and enjoy a camping trip with my family over the break, and I look forward to returning refreshed for the year ahead.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a bright and exciting New Year!

A message from Chelsea, People & Culture Manager: can anyone truly believe it’s nearly 2026?! I still remember being a kid watching movies set in the “future” (like 2010!) and genuinely believing we’d all have hover cars and wildly futuristic technology by now. Instead, here we are staring down the barrel of 2026, I’ve blinked and somehow missed most of 2025, and the biggest mystery I’m trying to solve is what on earth is going on with this ridiculous weather!

As we start wrapping up another year, I really want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to our incredible support staff. Experience Life is built on the heart, character, compassion, and dedication of the people who show up every day for our clients — and this year has been no exception. Through challenges, change, growth, and wins (big and small), you continue to demonstrate professionalism, resilience, and genuine care, and it does not go unnoticed. We are so lucky to have such a committed, values-driven team, and I am endlessly grateful to work alongside you all.

On a more personal note — outside of work life, I seem to have developed a new love for gardening (who even am I?). This absolute stunner of a hibiscus just bloomed at our house and it brought me an unreasonable amount of joy — proof that sometimes slowing down and nurturing something beautiful is exactly what’s needed.

And of course, it wouldn’t feel like this time of year without my gingerbread cookie tradition making an appearance — a little chaos, a lot of sugar, and plenty of laughs. Because if we can’t find joy in the small (and slightly messy) moments, what’s the point?

Thank you again to every single one of you for the energy, kindness, and commitment you bring to Experience Life. Here’s to finishing the year strong and stepping into 2026 together — no hover cars required. 😉
