Today, 3 March, is World Hearing Day. This year’s theme, “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children,” serves as a crucial reminder to take care of our hearing health, no matter your age.

Hearing loss is often gradual, making it easy to ignore and can start early. However, taking proactive steps—such as scheduling a hearing check and using protective gear in loud environments - can make a significant difference.

We encourage you to:

Get a regular hearing check-up for you and your family

Protect your ears from loud noises (ear plugs at that next concert!)

Support colleagues who are hard of hearing

Let’s change the mindset that hearing care is only for when problems arise. Take care of your hearing today.

Sunday 1 March was International Wheelchair Day. It’s a day to celebrate the incredible, positive impact that wheelchairs have on millions of lives worldwide. A wheelchair is a tool for freedom, independence, dignity and opportunity. We honour all wheelchair users and applaud the work of those who help make our world more accessible and inclusive.

THS reaffirms our commitment to fostering a truly accessible workplace. Accessibility is not just about compliance—it’s a fundamental right and we commit to removing barriers to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

There is so much love to go around! ❤️ 🎨
Our residents have been busy crafting these beautiful hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Each one is as unique and special as the person who made it. We’ve spent Valentine's Day sharing stories, treats, and plenty of smiles.

Blooming with Creativity 🌻

There’s something so therapeutic about working with charcoal. Our residents focused on light and shadow to bring these sunflowers to life. It was an afternoon filled with focused concentration, great conversation, and a lot of blackened fingertips!

Extremely poor air quality is currently being experienced in the North East forecast district.

Smoke can affect people's health. Take steps to reduce your exposure and protect the health of yourself and others.

What you can do:
✔️Listen to your local emergency radio station.
✔️Stay indoors away from smoke. If you must go outside when it is very smoky, consider wearing a mask (P2 or N95 but seek advice from your doctor if you have a pre-existing heart or lung condition).
✔️Keep the air inside your home as clean as possible. You can do this by:
Closing windows and doors and opening them when air quality improves, using your split system air conditioner or switching other types of air conditioners to recirculate if they have this function, not using evaporative coolers because they bring outdoor air inside.
✔️Check in with elderly or vulnerable family/friends during this period.
✔️Use an indoor air cleaner, if you have one.
✔️If you think the air in your home is still uncomfortable, consider relocating if it is safe to do so. For example, go to an air-conditioned building like a library or shopping centre.
✔️People who are sensitive (people with a heart or lung condition, including asthma; people over the age of 65; infants and young children; pregnant women; and people with diabetes) to smoke should actively monitor symptoms and follow their health management plan recommended by their doctor.
📲If you are worried about your symptoms, see your doctor or call Nurse on Call on 1300 606 024.
‼If you or anyone in your care has trouble breathing, chest pain or discomfort, call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance.

🚸Impacts in the area:
Road travel may be hazardous due to low visibility associated with smoke.
Signs may be in place to slow traffic. Obey all traffic signs and instructions from fire agency crews near the fires.
