Ever wondered what a Practice Manager actually does? 🤔

Spoiler alert... it's a little bit of everything. ☕📞💻💬

From coordinating schedules and answering phones to supporting our clinicians, solving unexpected problems and somehow keeping everything running smoothly, Jess is the calm in the middle of the chaos.

While this reel might have a bit of fun with the daily interruptions (because let's be honest... they're very real! 😅), it also highlights just how much happens behind the scenes to support our team and the people we work with every day.

Thanks for everything you do, Jess. We couldn't do it without you! 💙

🎉 Happy Birthday, Chelsey! 🎉

Today we're celebrating our wonderful Dietitian, Chelsey!

Chelsey brings so much care, knowledge and kindness to every person she supports. Whether she's helping someone improve their nutrition, regain confidence around food, or work towards their health goals, she always goes the extra mile to make a positive difference.

We're so lucky to have you as part of the Focus on Function team.

Please join us in wishing Chelsey a very happy birthday! 🥳🎂💙

We're really excited to be bringing the Sexuality and Physical Disability Workshop to Tamworth!

Sexuality is an important part of health and wellbeing, but it's an area many clinicians tell us they don't feel confident discussing. This practical, interactive workshop is designed to change that.

Whether you work in allied health, nursing, medicine or disability services, you'll leave with practical skills and greater confidence to support the people you work with.

What you'll gain:
• Practical communication strategies using the PLISSIT model
• Real-life case discussions across inpatient, outpatient and community settings
• A clearer understanding of your role within the multidisciplinary team
• Strategies you can start using immediately in clinical practice

Date: Thursday 17 September 2026
Time: 10.00 am – 3.00 pm
Location: Tamworth Community Event Centre

We're passionate about bringing quality education to regional NSW and would love to see you there.

💙❤️ State of Origin office update... ❤️💙

It's fair to say the office is a little divided today! 😅

Some of our team are celebrating the NSW Blues taking out the 2026 State of Origin series 🏆, while others... well... let's just say they're taking it about as well as expected. 😉

No matter which side you're on, a little friendly rivalry always makes for a fun workplace.

Congratulations to the Blues! 💙

School holidays look a little different at Focus on Function. 💙

Sometimes that means little helpers join us for the morning.

We’re proud to have a workplace that understands life doesn’t stop when school holidays begin. Supporting our team means creating flexibility where we can, so they can continue making a difference for our clients while balancing family life.

It’s not always perfect, but it’s real—and it’s part of the culture we’re building.

Because when we look after our people, they can do their best work for the people who need them most.

Looking back on a fantastic Term 2 Team Day! 💙

Our team recently came together for our Term 2 Team Day, and it's always nice to look back on the moments that make these days so valuable.

As a regional allied health and nursing service, we're often out supporting clients across many different communities. While we may not work from the same office every day, staying connected as a team is incredibly important.

Team days give us the opportunity to learn together, share knowledge, strengthen our relationships and continue improving the way we support adults living with complex injuries and their families.

Because when our team grows together, our clients benefit too.

A special thank you to Kootingal Library for providing a welcoming space for us to come together, and to the Kootingal Hotel for a fantastic lunch. We always appreciate the opportunity to support local businesses while we're out in the community.

💬 How does your workplace stay connected when everyone is working in different locations? We'd love to hear your ideas.

Now it's your turn!Tell us your favourite clean joke in the comments—we're always looking for a reason to smile! 😄💙
