Australia Day is about so much more than the events in one day - it is about where we have come from, who we are as a nation, and what we aspire to be. Today is an opportunity to reflect on the complete and complex history and understand that acknowledging and reconciling our past helps lay a path to a stronger future. This is language rooted in the official message from https://hubs.la/Q03_Rbq_0.

The Housing Connection (THC) pays our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples on this - their Survival Day. Let us pause, reflect and listen. 🖤❤️💛 Today we acknowledge the resilience and strength of First Nations people and their deep history, culture and continuous connection to country that endures despite a history of injustice and loss.

Across Gadigal Land, people will gather today at the Dawn Reflection at Circular Quay, the Vigil: Belong at Barangaroo Reserve, and the powerful Yabun Festival at Victoria Park, Broadway. You can search all the events on 26th Jan in Sydney here 👉 https://hubs.la/Q03_Rb4D0

"Since beginning support with Johnny about six sessions ago, the focus has been on supporting him to learn new skills.

A few sessions in, Johnny asked if he could learn how to write Chinese characters, explaining that it would make his family feel proud of him. After being shown the method, he practised writing the characters himself, staying focused for over half an hour.

Seeing his sense of achievement grow through this process was a powerful reminder of how participant-led goals can build confidence, purpose and connection." - said Connie, THC's Social Educator.

There was something truly special about celebrating Stephen’s 50th birthday at his home in Roseville. 🎂💛

With cake on the table, good food shared, and his family surrounding him, the day felt full of warmth, joy and connection — a beautiful way to honour such an important milestone.

A day at the AGNSW reminded us how powerful art can be — not just on the walls, but in the way it brings people together 🎨💛

As we welcome the New Year, we reflect with gratitude on the connections, growth, and opportunities that made the past year so meaningful. We thank our participants, families, supporters, partners, and dedicated team members for walking alongside us every step of the way. 🙌

As we step into 2026, we remain committed to creating respectful, safe, supportive, and inclusive communities, where religion and cultural diversity are celebrated and where people feel valued, heard, and connected. Our services continue into the New Year, ensuring participants receive the care and support they need during the holiday period and beyond.

Wishing everyone a 2026, filled with positivity, wellbeing, and new possibilities. 💛

Susie and her Social Educator, Piska, hopped on their usual Wednesday 10am bus to Lane Cove Leisure Centre — to get coffee first, then 14 laps in the pool! ☕🏊‍♀️

This week came with an unexpected festive surprise, with the bus beautifully decorated for Christmas. 🎄Little moments like these make everyday routines even more special.

Customised Employment program offered by THC, takes a very personalised and considered approach, to deeply explore each job seeker’s interests, strengths, and unique capabilities. From there, it identifies the specific workplace conditions required for success — creating a pathway that is both realistic and empowering.

Since early in 2025, THC has piloted this approach with a small group of participants, focusing on the initial ‘Discovery’ phase. While it’s too early to report definitive outcomes — and challenges have certainly emerged — the process has already led to a collective uplift in skills and understanding that will serve us well into the future.

Faridah McAtamney is a self-taught painter and designer who is uncommonly reflective about her artistic practice. During the difficult lockdown days of Covid she made and delivered over a hundred personalised cards to thank healthcare workers. She is now working through our Customised Employment pilot program to develop a website to showcase her artwork and to begin teaching painting online. 🎨

Faridah's art work has been featured in the pictures above.
