This weeks spotlight ✨

Siobhan attended the Wound Management Update course run by the Australian College of Nursing, after thoroughly enjoying the past education days with Gary Bain.

Gary has been involved in delivering and teaching wound management since 1987. Currently in private practice as The Wound Guy, Gary provides education to medical, nursing, allied-health and product-industry personnel.

This workshop was a practical, evidence-based learning experience packed with up-to-date strategies for assessing and managing wounds. Something Siobhan is not only passionate about but forever learning and broadening her knowledge It was a great opportunity to dive deeper into clinical best practice, refresh hands-on techniques, and connect with other health professionals. 

Well done Siobhan, thank you for all of your hard work and for always seeking to expand your knowledge.

What a fantastic day of education!✨
Last Thursday, Siobhan had the privilege of presenting at the Care in Community Training Day hosted by Surgical House 🙌

She delivered three sessions on:
👩‍⚕️ Practical Application of Secretion Management
🧼 Safe Practice For Managing Infectious Patients
💉 Wound Bed Preparation: Debridement

These practical, hands-on topics are close to our heart at Kalkoup Community Care, as they support safer, more confident care for clients living with complex needs.

We loved connecting with other wonderful healthcare partners including Hartmann, Smith+Nephew, Avanos Medical, Mun Australia, Nutricia, and Coloplast and being part of such a collaborative day of learning and sharing 👏

We’re proud to keep building knowledge, skills, and confidence across the community care space. After all, we are stronger together.

A great activity for the upcoming school holidays!

🌟 “Something new for the school holidays…” 🌟
Every school holiday we hear the same thing:

“I’m bored…” 🎨

This time, we’re doing something different.

We’re opening the doors at Hillview Intercultural Community Centre for four mornings of making, building and laughing — paint on hands, glue on fingers, ideas flying everywhere.

It’s called Creative Sparks Camp. It’s not about being the “best artist” — it’s about trying things, teaming up, and surprising yourself with what you can make.

Here’s the plan:
🗓 Tues 30 Sept | Fri 3 Oct | Tues 7 Oct | Fri 10 Oct
⏰ 9:30 – 11:30 AM
👧 Ages 7–12
💲 $15 per child per session

We’ll end the week with a little showcase so the kids can proudly show you what they’ve created.

Spots are limited and we close bookings on 29 Sept.

Let’s make this school holiday one they actually talk about afterwards. 💛
