💛 Keeping an eye out for sepsis

Sometimes the signs of sepsis can be subtle, and that’s why awareness matters.

1. Changes in temperature
A fever, chills, shivering, or feeling unusually cold to touch can all be early signs.

2. Skin changes
Skin may appear pale, mottled or clammy. In some cases, lips or fingertips can look bluish or grey.

3. Breathing looks different
Breathing may be faster or more laboured than usual, even when resting.

4. Changes in behaviour or alertness
Confusion, extreme tiredness, difficulty waking, or someone just seeming “not themselves” can be a warning sign.

If you’re concerned, it’s important to reach out for help. Contact your GP, attend your nearest hospital or emergency department, or call 000 if symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always okay to ask for help.
Sepsis can progress quickly, but early medical care can make all the difference. Trust your instincts.

NDIS & Domestic and Family Violence (DFV): What We Need to Talk About

People living with disability are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) — and too often, it goes unseen or unspoken.

For some NDIS participants, DFV doesn’t always look like physical violence. It can include:
• Coercive control or intimidation
• Financial abuse or misuse of NDIS funds
• Restricting access to supports, transport, or communication
• Emotional abuse, threats, or constant monitoring
• Neglect or withholding care and basic needs

Disability can increase vulnerability — especially when someone relies on others for care, communication, housing, or decision-making. Fear of losing support, housing, or their NDIS plan can stop people from speaking up.

Red flags to watch for:
⚠️ Sudden withdrawal or changes in behaviour
⚠️ Someone else speaking for the participant or controlling their choices
⚠️ Increased anxiety, low mood, or fear around certain people
⚠️ Missed appointments, reduced independence, or unexplained injuries

Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.

If you’re an NDIS participant, a family member, or a support worker — and something doesn’t feel right — trust that instinct. Support is available, and help can be provided safely and confidentially.

If you have concerns about one of our clients or someone you support, please reach out. A conversation can make all the difference.

💙 Safety is not optional.
💙 Silence protects harm — speaking up saves lives.

🦘 A Day Out at Australia Zoo!

At The Laurels, we believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy of new adventures. To get out, laugh, and make memories that last. That’s why days like this are so special to us.

Our wonderful clients enjoyed a day trip to Australia Zoo, getting up close with incredible animals, soaking up the sunshine, and sharing plenty of smiles along the way. It’s all part of ensuring that our clients not only receive the care they need but also get to live life to the fullest and are filled with connection and a sense of adventure.

These moments remind us why we do what we do — because care is about so much more than support, it’s about creating opportunities for people to truly live.
