At Forbes Care, we talk a lot about the importance of self-care — not just for our clients, but for our therapists too. 💛
So how do OTs fill their own cup?
✨ By connecting deeply — with clients, colleagues, and community.
🌞 By finding moments of sensory calm — a beach walk, gardening, painting, or just sitting in the sun.
🧡 By reflecting — celebrating small wins and learning from every experience.
📚 By growing — attending PD sessions, sharing knowledge, and mentoring others.
🕯️ By protecting balance — switching off, setting boundaries, and enjoying meaningful occupations outside of work.
Because when our cups are full, we show up as the best version of ourselves — creative, compassionate, and ready to make a difference. 💫

This year, Hanna has not only provided outstanding occupational therapy services for her clients — she’s also made an incredible contribution to our culture of excellence at Forbes Care.

Hanna has leaned into every challenge with curiosity and professionalism — from co-presenting alongside our Director, Kelly, at the Older Women’s Network, to leading internal training sessions to upskill our OT team in sensory assessment and neuroaffirmative OT care.

She’s worked across both adult and paediatric caseloads, continually expanding her clinical scope, and has recently taken on learning opportunities in complex home modifications alongside our CHM team.

👏 Well done, Hanna — your commitment to growth, collaboration, and quality care embodies everything we value at Forbes Care. We’re so lucky to have you on the team!

The Most Hands-On Home Mods Training Yet

Last week, our Senior OT team took part in a game-changing Complex Home Modifications training with our CHM Supervisor — and it was unlike anything we’ve done before.

No classroom. No slides. No theory-only learning.
This was real, tactile, hands-on training inside a fully set-up home designed for clinical reasoning in action.

Every space was built for learning:
🏷️ Correct building & construction terms labelled throughout
📏 Measurements marked on floors to show turning circles, clearances & access
♿ A wide range of equipment to test, measure & problem-solve with

We explored and applied:
🔹 Reinforced walls – not just what to request, but why for long-term safety
🔹 Tiles & flooring – what truly works in accessible design
🔹 A purposely non-compliant bathroom – 7 intentional design errors for us to find, assess & redesign

Our team used legislation, clinical reasoning, AS1428.1 and real-world problem solving to redesign spaces with safety, function and future-proofing in mind.

And the feedback says it all 👇
“This was the most hands-on and beneficial training of my career. As a visual learner, applying theory in a real home was invaluable.”

This day didn’t just build skill — it built confidence, language, advocacy and shared standards of excellence in Complex Home Mods.

And the best part? We learned, debated, trialled, redesigned and grew together.

We Are One Team — and when we learn together, we elevate the outcomes for the people we support.

Shining a light on Chamonix 👏

One of our thoughtful Occupational Therapists supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults across the Sunshine Coast and North Brisbane. Chamonix brings a calm, client-led approach that focuses on building confidence, supporting daily routines, and co-developing regulation strategies that truly work for each individual.

She’s all about creating meaningful progress—whether it’s exploring sensory tools to support comfort and regulation, or building emotional awareness through a young person’s love of Maze Runner.

What makes Chamonix stand out? Her creativity, collaboration, and deep respect for neurodivergent ways of being.
We’re proud to have her on the Forbes Care team — and she’s currently welcoming new clients.

If you think Chamonix might be a good fit for your family or someone you support, we’d love to hear from you.

In a recent OT session, a young client explored their neurotype using The Brain Forest book to learn about the many ways brains can be unique and diverse. To finish the activity, the client created a “rainbow brain” 🌈🧠—colouring in a brain diagram and listing strengths and talents. This supported confidence and self-esteem in a neuro-affirming and creative way. The activity was both fun and regulating, as drawing was used as a special interest. The client left feeling calm, proud, and empowered by the colourful creation. 💡 OTs can adapt this by encouraging children to imagine which parts of their brain might be “bigger” for art, sport, writing, maths or music—showing just how diverse and amazing every brain truly is!
