This month we welcome back expert pain physiotherapist Meghan Dean to discuss how we can proactively reduce fall risks for older Australians.

In this conversation, we move beyond "just being careful" and dive into the concept of reablement, the process of restoring function so you can continue living safely at home. Meghan explains how a multidisciplinary team approach ensures that nothing falls through the cracks after your initial universal clinical assessment.

See you on Wednesday, 26th of August at 1pm (AEDT), broadcasting live on our page! Click the link in bio to ensure you follow our page and don't miss the event.

To manage or not to manage? 🤔 It’s one of the biggest decisions families face.

While self-management might seem like it offers more control, Michelle explains the heavy lifting involved, from finding your own caregivers to managing incident reports and compliance.

With a fully managed service at Dovida, all the hard work is done for you. Everything is documented, followed through, and professionally supported. For the same 10% fee cap, why not give yourself the gift of time?

Want a real say in how your support is delivered? Your lived experience is our greatest guide. 💙

At Dovida, we believe that as life brings natural changes, your voice should always remain at the heart of your care. That is why our Consumer Advisory Body (CAB) is so vital—it gives our clients a direct channel to share their insights, feedback, and ideas directly with our local leadership team, Giovanni and Giselle.

Through the CAB, your real-life experiences are turned into meaningful innovation, helping us continually refine our services to better support choice, dignity, and independence across Geelong, the Bellarine, and the Surf Coast.

Looking for support that actually fits your personal routine? Care should always be as unique as you are. ☕🌷

No two people are the same, which is why standard, one-size-fits-all care simply doesn't work. One of the greatest benefits of in-home care is receiving individualised, one-on-one attention tailored entirely to your personal preferences, schedule, and goals.

At Dovida, our care plans adapt seamlessly over time as your needs change, ensuring you are always supported by familiar caregivers who truly understand your routine.

Your home is your sanctuary. It’s only natural to be protective of it 🏡

When looking for an aged care provider, you aren’t just looking for a service; you’re looking for a partner you can trust.

Michelle, Client Care Consultant at Dovida Geelong, shares the essential questions every family should ask:
✅ Do they have current police checks and qualifications?
✅ How do fees and contributions work under the Support at Home program?
✅ Is the schedule flexible if your family plans change?

Don’t navigate the unknown alone. 🎙️Catch the full conversation via the link in our bio!

Waiting for government funding approval can feel like a long road, and we know how stressful that uncertainty can be for families.

Here is something worth knowing: you do not have to wait for support to start.
Dovida's private home care services are available immediately, with no waitlist, no assessment required, and no restrictions on the level of support you can receive. Private care can also be used as a top-up once your Support at Home funding is approved, giving you complete flexibility.

If your family is navigating the funding process right now and wondering what your options are in the meantime, we would love to have that conversation with you.

Come for the advocacy, stay for the sandwiches!

🥪 Margaret lets us in on a secret: the CAB meetings at Dovida Geelong are as much about friendship and fun as they are about governance. It turns out, fixing the system is much easier when you’re well-fed and in good company.
