🌿 FREE Family Carer Training – This Thursday for Carers Week!

Caring for someone you love is deeply meaningful — but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding.

🧠 Learn simple techniques to protect your body
💪 Practice everyday care moves — bed, chair, toilet & car transfers
🦾 Try out helpful equipment with OT guidance
💬 Ask questions and connect with other carers

🧠💪 Manual Handling Training – Hands-On Confidence for Therapists
📍 Warrawong & Nowra | ⏰ 6-Hour Workshop

For OTs supporting individuals with physical disabilities and their care teams... Are you confident in applying manual handling principles when prescribing equipment, recommending ratios of care, or training support teams? We have 2 new training dates available for you...

This small-group, therapist-focused workshop is designed to build your confidence in both theory and practice. We will explore real-world case discussions, practical demos, and hands-on use of standing aids, hoists, slings, slide sheets and more.

Here’s what past participants had to say:
✨ “Hands-on and informative”
✨ “Great mix of theory and practical demos”
✨ “Loved the chance to try equipment and talk through different options”
✨ “Following the course… I’ve since had some really good conversations with families that I’ve been trying to have for a long time – thank you”

This course is provides practical skill building, open discussions, and a space to reflect on how manual handling shapes our recommendations and care strategies.
✅ Refresh your knowledge
✅ Problem-solve real scenarios
✅ Build practical confidence in a safe, supportive space

Thursday 21st August - Nowra
Thursday 4th September - Warrawong

Do experienced support workers really need manual handling refresher training?

Yes—absolutely. Here’s why:
✔️ Client needs and routines evolve
✔️ Shortcuts and habits creep in
✔️ What was “fine” 18 months ago may not be safe today

In our most recent session, every attendee—seasoned professionals—walked away with something new.

When we treat training as continuous, not one-off, we protect safety and confidence.

➡️ What’s something valuable you learned from a refresher training?

✨ What’s for dinner tonight? A side of stardom, apparently!
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the JBC crew for their refresher manual handling training yesterday — but this session came with a twist…

👩‍🍳⭐ Turns out, I had not one, but TWO celebrities in the group — featured in the brand new JBC Recipe Book! When they surprised me with a copy, I did what any excited fan would do… I asked for their autographs. 🙌

This cookbook is packed with heart, flavour, and creativity — just like the amazing support workers who contributed to it. Can't wait to test out these recipes at home! 🍝🥗🍪
