We're thrilled to be part of OzChild's Wishing Tree for a fourth year 🎁

Our HQ team members could donate a present to a child as part of the OzChild Christmas appeal 🎄

Pictured is our team and the wonderful OzChild representatives who picked up the presents.

Some of our team gave more than one present, which always warms our hearts 🥰

This year’s International Day of People with Disability - Australia theme is “fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”.

This theme is at the core of what we do. It shows up in the way people are supported, listened to and backed when things get complicated.

Partnerships are a big part of how we do this. Working with organisations like FIDA - Football Integration Development Associationand VALID helps create spaces where people can participate fully, speak up and feel genuinely included.

A big thank you to everyone in the InLife community for the role you play in building more inclusive communities every day 🤩

We’re reflecting on the important contributions people with disability make and how we can create a more inclusive society.

🪔 Wishing everyone a happy Diwali 🪔

Often referred to as the festival of lights, it symbolises the victory of light over darkness.

In Nepal, it's also Tihar festival and yesterday was Kukur Tihar - the day of celebrating dogs.

Leticia and her adorable dog Ollie have been celebrating, and we hope your dogs are feeling the love too 🥰

Soon we’ll be taking to the greens at Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club for a special cause: the Australian NPC Disease Foundation Inc. charity golf day ⛳

It's more than a round of golf, it's a chance to bring people together in support of families living with Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease.

NPC is a rare, progressive condition that robs children and young adults of their independence and, heartbreakingly, has no cure.

Players will enjoy a 9-hole round, breakfast, and lunch, while also hearing moving stories from families impacted and we'd love to see you there 🏌️

On Friday 3 October, we’ll be taking to the greens at Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club for a special cause: the Australian Niemann-Pick Disease…

To celebrate fathers and father-figures at InLife, we sent socks that not only look great, but help communities 🧦

The socks are from Conscious Step, who support 22 non-profits giving back. They help with conservation, books for children, water aid, mental health, protecting endangered animals and more.

Here's Dad Jurgen looking fabulous with his socks - we love that he's sporting one of each pair!

What a fantastic way to finish our final tackle-free carnival for the year!

Yesterday we held our third InLife Tackle Free Carnival by FIDA, this time at Salesian College Sunbury. It was an awesome day of footy with our friends at FIDA - Football Integration Development Association.

A huge thanks to the FIDA crew and the teams who played – Monash demons fida, Parkside FIDA Football Club, Rupertswood Football Netball Club, Sunbury Football Netball Club Inc. - Juniors and of course our own Local Legends 🤩

It warms our hearts to see some of our Local Legends have played all 3 games 💛

Thank you also to our amazing InLife volunteers, you help the day run so smoothly and we can't do it without you!

We've had so much fun this year, and we're already looking forward to the 2026 season 🏉

Here's some of the highlights from the day, from our volunteers to the Local Legends and some action on the field.
