🌟 From Junior Footy to AFLW Dreams 🌟 We’ve been watching from the sidelines since Chelsea was in Junior Footy as she’s grown from a determined footballer into a powerful AFLW draft prospect with Gippsland Power. As proud sponsors and supporters of her journey, we’ve seen from a distance how hard she has worked!!

Her story, featured today in the Pakenham Gazette is a moving tribute to her late uncle and a testament to the strength of family. And behind every step of her journey has been her incredible mum a true legend whose love and support for Chelsea and her siblings has been nothing short of inspirational. She is a special woman!!!!

💛 Gippsland really is a village. It raises strong, compassionate, and driven individuals and today, we’re proud of this little family and everything they represent. Let's go Chelsea!!!

An Interesting Perspective on Social Media & Youth Mental Health
As Australia considers national restrictions on social media use for under-16s, Prof. Patrick McGorry and Orygen offer a compelling take: social media may be a contributing factor to youth mental ill-health, but it’s far from the only one and its impact is complex.
Young people live in layered realities, online and offline, and their wellbeing is shaped by far more than screen time. Trauma, identity, relationships, and access to support all matter.
We welcome perspectives that challenge oversimplified narratives and invite deeper conversations.

Young people around the world are in the middle of a mental health crisis. We want to blame Facebook and TikTok. What if we’re wrong?
