Finding the right home for a loved one isnโt easy.
In this video, Mrs Peterson shares her experience supporting her son John to move into supported accommodation, and what that journey has meant for both of them.
Over time, whatโs stood out most to her is the sense of care, connection and trust that has remained, even as McCall has grown.
If youโre exploring supported accommodation options, our team is here to help guide you through the process.

Mealtimes can feel overwhelming for some children and families, but the right support can make a real difference.
Our Eat and Play Weekly NDIS Feeding Group helps children explore food in a relaxed, playful setting while families learn practical strategies to support mealtimes at home. Run by Occupational Therapists at Shine Shed South West, this small group is designed to build confidence over time.
A small number of places have become available for Term 2, and they do not usually stay open for long.
For over 65 years, McCall has been part of the community, providing consistent, quality support to people with disability and their families.
Over that time, one thing has always mattered most. Safe, reliable support that people can trust.
With recent discussions around changes to the NDIS, including stronger regulation and increased provider registration, we welcome the focus on quality, accountability, and transparency across the sector.
Clearer standards help protect participants, strengthen trust, and support providers who are committed to doing the right thing.
At McCall, these principles have guided our work for decades. We remain focused on delivering supports that are respectful, evidence-based, and centred around each personโs needs.
Week 2 of our Northwest Childrenโs NDIS School Holiday Recreation Program wrapped up with so many fantastic moments, big smiles, and great days out.
Week 2 the children enjoyed swimming at Springwood Pools, exploring the Museum of Illusion, adventuring through Sydney Olympic Park, having fun at House of WOW, bouncing and doing cool trampoline tricks and flips at BOUNCE, and spending time at Shine Shed North West.
Throughout both weeks, the children enjoyed the chance to try new things, build confidence, and enjoy the holidays in a supportive group environment.
Programs like this give children the chance to get out and about, make friendships, and enjoy school holidays that are active, social, and full of variety.
Thank you to the team members who supported the group throughout the holiday period.
Looking ahead to the next school holidays, this is exactly what our recreation programs are all about.

Mark and Tim from Elizabeth St headed to the Sydney Royal Easter Show last Saturday, travelling in by train for the day.
They had a great time exploring the animals, exhibits and everything the Show had to offer. A big highlight was checking out the showbags and food, with both making sure they didnโt leave empty-handed.
Tim, an avid Panthers supporter, picked up a Panthers showbag along with an Oreo showbag, while Mark, who loves cars, chose the Fast & Furious showbag as well as a Cherry Ripe showbag. They also grabbed a T-shirt each to remember the day.
A great day out with plenty to enjoy.

McCall had a great time attending the Hawkesbury able.plus Able Meet yesterday.
As an Elite Sponsor, it was a valuable opportunity to connect with providers and professionals from across the region, share insights and strengthen local networks.
Brad, General Manager of Allied Health, Belinda, Chief Operating Officer of McCall alongside Kim from our Engagement team were on the ground representing McCall, having some great conversations and building new connections.
Events like this play an important role in supporting stronger collaboration across the sector and better outcomes for the people we support.
Thank you to the organisers and everyone who took the time to connect with us.

Week 1 of our Northwest Childrenโs NDIS School Holiday Recreation Program โ๏ธ
What an amazing first week it was - filled with fun, new experiences, and new friendships!
The group had a fantastic time exploring Area 51 in Castle Hill, visiting the zoo, enjoying a ferry ride around Sydney Harbour, making a splash at the splash park in Camden, and spending time at our very own Shine Shed North West. There truly was something for everyone to enjoy.
Weโre excited to welcome everybody back to keep the fun going this week!
