Ending the week with growth, gratitude and a little inspiration 💜

Our wonderful Physio Deepa takes us through a day in the life of a Wellness Centre physio - what the role involves and how her journey has supported both professional and personal growth. Drawing on her well-established career with HCA, she also shares advice for budding physios…and honestly, it’s the kind of guidance worth taking notes on.

Happy holiday season to our healthcare workers, clients, partners, residents, NDIS participants, home care customers and staff across the country.

As many of us come together to celebrate with family and friends, we encourage you to spare a thought for those working extra shifts, spending time away from loved ones, or navigating the holidays after the loss of someone special.

We acknowledge healthcare workers and first responders, often work longer hours and face unexpected time away from home. For those serving our country, deployment or duty can mean being even further from loved ones. And for older Australians in aged care, this season can bring quieter moments of separation from family and familiar routines.

This holiday season, let’s show kindness and acknowledge those who continue to serve, care and show up for others. 💜

From all of us at HCA, we wish you a safe, compassionate and supportive holiday season.

📸 Photos from our EOY Celebrations with our Allied Health Therapists across the country!

Over the past few weeks, our HCA teams gathered with our incredible therapists for games, good food and plenty of laughs as we celebrated a year of hard work, growth and the meaningful moments shared with residents, colleagues and communities.

To all our Allied Health professionals — thank you for the care, expertise and compassion you bring every single day. We’re proud to have you as part of Team Purple and we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll continue to make in 2026. 💜

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bondi.

We are heartbroken by yesterday’s tragic events at Bondi Beach. Our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to everyone affected.

For this to occur during a time of celebration for the Jewish community, in a place where thousands gather to connect and find joy, makes the loss even more devastating.

We want to thank all the first responders and emergency services who acted with courage and urgency during an incredibly difficult time.

If you or someone you know needs support, Victims Services is available. Call 1800 411 822 or visit

For our HCA staff, please remember our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available should you need support. Reach out to your local team for assistance.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

Happy World OT Day to our wonderful Occupational Therapists! 💜

🎥 This year’s theme, “Occupational Therapy in Action,” shines a light on the incredible work OTs do every day.

Showing us a glimpse into the life of an OT is Tiarna, Senior OT & HCA Clinical Support Coordinator - from morning routines and treating residents in an aged care facility, to testing equipment for her home care clients, and refuelling with caffeine for more referrals - there’s never a dull day!

We want to thank all OTs for the amazing work they do across different settings, and for their ongoing commitment to helping people engage in meaningful activities and participation around the world.

Happy Allied Health Professions Day 💜

Today we celebrate the incredible work of allied health professionals across the globe - the quiet achievers who help people move better, speak clearer, eat well, and live fuller lives.

This year’s theme, ‘Stronger Together’, shines a light on the power of multidisciplinary teamwork. It recognises that when allied health professionals collaborate across disciplines, the outcomes are better for everyone - clinically, economically, and personally.

At Healthcare Australia, we’re proud to have a diverse workforce of Allied Health Professionals working across hospitals, aged care, community and home care settings nationwide. Our teams provide physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, dietetics, speech pathology and psychology services that help Australians care for their body, mind and soul through preventive health.

Let’s take a moment today to celebrate and recognise their essential role in keeping our communities healthy and thriving.

📸 Featured here are Pooja and Abdul, two of our amazing allied health professionals in action with their residents.

Today we join the global recognition of the International Day of Older Persons 💜

At Healthcare Australia, we are proud to support and care for our aged care residents, home care clients and elderly patients across the country. This day reminds us of the invaluable contributions older Australians have made - and continue to make - to our families, communities, and nation.

As this year’s theme highlights, ageing with dignity, inclusion, and respect is not just a goal - it’s a responsibility we share. HCA remains committed to delivering compassionate, professional care that helps every individual live well, wherever they call home.

We encourage everyone to reach out to the elderly in your life and share a moment of respect and friendship 💜

On R U OK Day, we’re reminded that checking in with a simple “Are you OK?” can change a life. At Healthcare Australia, we know it’s not about having all the answers — it’s about showing up, listening and reminding others they’re not alone.

Take a moment today (and any day) to reach out to a colleague, your family, a friend, your patients or clients or even yourself. 💬✨

World Physiotherapy Day 💪

Wishing all our physiotherapists a Happy World Physiotherapy Day! Today we’d like to celebrate the expertise and dedication of physiotherapists everywhere who empower individuals to age well, prevent frailty and maintain independence.

This year’s theme highlights the essential role of physios in healthy ageing - helping people move with confidence, live with dignity, and remain connected to their communities.

🎥 Sharing their thoughts, our wonderful physios Mehreen and Aman reflect on how rewarding it is to support residents to stay strong, independent and engaged in life - a reminder of the difference physiotherapists make every day. Watch now!

Healthy ageing is a gift we can all aspire to and it’s thanks to the compassion and skill of physios that so many are able to enjoy it. We thank and honour you today ✨
