🩷Celebrating Aunty Lisa McGrady

After more than 20 years with IWC and our communities, we say a heartfelt thank you to Aunty Lisa for everything she has given.

Lisa began her IWC journey as an Employment Officer through CDEP in 2004, right at the beginning of what would become IWC. In 2009, she became an Advanced Nutrition Health Worker before moving into IHW and IHP - and the rest is history.

Over the years, Lisa has helped develop, lead and deliver many programs and services, including Mums and Bubs, the Lisa Penrose Optometry Clinic, ICOP, Cultural Mentoring for GPs, Connected Beginnings, HHART and Living Strong.

But Aunty Lisa’s greatest impact has always been on the people.

The families she supported. The relationships she built. The knowledge she shared and the staff she has mentored and inspired every day.

Aunty Lisa leaves behind a legacy that reaches far beyond IWC - carried forward through the generations of many families and communities she has supported along the way.

Thank you, Aunty Lisa, for more than 20 years of care, leadership, connection and commitment to our mob.

Keep shining your beautiful light on your next exciting adventure. You will be so dearly missed!

💙 Celebrating Barry's 22 Years of Service.

Last week, our IWC Homecare team had a cook up to celebrate Barry's retirement and his incredible 22 years of service to IWC and our communities.

For more than two decades, Barry has been part of the IWC journey - supporting community, building strong relationships and sharing his knowledge, experience and plenty of laughs along the way.

His contribution goes far beyond a job. It’s the contribution, relationships and connections he’s built over the years that will be remembered.

From all of us at IWC, thank you, Uncle Barry, for everything you’ve given to our organisation and our communities.

We wish you all the very best for your next chapter and hope it's filled with lots of fun and fishing!

💛 R U OK? Day at IWC 💛

Today was a chance to come together, share some tukka, enjoy a few sweet treats and, most importantly, check in with each other.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make our staff BBQ, cupcakes (by Rise the bakehouse Bundaberg) and cookies (by Sherrie Black) such a success, and to all our deadly IWC staff who got involved and helped create a safe space to yarn, have a laugh and connect across our teams.

R U OK? isn’t just one day of the year. It’s about the way we look out for and support one another and our community - every day.

We’re proud to see our mob at IWC leading with this spirit in the work we do.

💛 R U OK? Mob?

Sometimes a simple “Are you OK?” can open the door to a yarn that someone really needs.

R U OK? Day is a reminder to check in with your family, friends, workmates and community - not just today, but any day. You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes just knowing someone cares can mean a lot.

You’re important. We care about you. 💛

*IWC Gayndah is open and here for our community*

Call us (07) 4161 4800 if you have any queries or concerns about your health and wellbeing needs.

Please stay safe during the floods:
Check your food, clean water supply, medicine and prescriptions, and reach out if you need support.

We’re all in this together.

R U OK? 💛

Are you carrying the heaviness of someone you love?

Supporting others can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to acknowledge that.

You are not alone.
Taking care of your own wellbeing matters too. Reach out, have a yarn, and remember that support goes both ways.

Here’s some helpful advice and reminders for today

You can care deeply about someone and still not have the capacity to hold everything for them.

A gentle “I care about you and want to help you get the support you need”, then guiding them to the right support can make all the difference.
