📢 Opportunity to contribute to an important student project

We're pleased to share a project being undertaken by final-year Nutrition and Dietetics students from the University of Newcastle in partnership with Armidale Secondary College.

The students are working with the school's Inclusive Education Unit to develop and pilot nutrition education sessions for secondary school students living with disability. To help ensure the program is meaningful, accessible and engaging, they are seeking input from health professionals who support young people living with disability.

If you'd like to contribute your insights, you can complete a short questionnaire here:

Supporting future healthcare professionals and inclusive education initiatives is something we're proud to get behind. Please feel free to share this opportunity with others who may be interested.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

Today, Jess and Sarah from our Gunnedah office celebrated the sweetest day of the year with a coffee and a delicious pack of donuts from local favourite, Jak's Takeaway & Cafe. ☕💙

We're always grateful to have amazing local businesses in our community, and today seemed like the perfect excuse to show our support (and enjoy a tasty treat while we were at it!).

How are you celebrating National Donut Day? 🍩

One thing we really value at Focus on Function is making time to come together as a team.

Working across different towns, disciplines, and busy schedules can make it easy to stay focused only on the day-to-day workload. Our team culture days are a chance to slow down, reconnect, reflect, and reset together.

This week included:
✨ Great conversations
✨ Honest reflections
✨ Plenty of laughs
✨ Revisiting our vision and values
✨ Gratitude and growth
✨ Lots of food (as always!)

A strong theme from the day was focusing on improving by just 1% at a time — both personally and professionally.

Very grateful for a team that genuinely cares about each other, our participants, and the communities we support.

We are excited to be co-hosting this fantastic education event with Care rehab

This workshop will explore sexuality, disability, and sexual assistive technology — an area that is incredibly important, but often not spoken about enough.

The session is aimed at allied health professionals, nurses, case managers, support coordinators, and providers wanting to increase their knowledge and confidence in supporting clients holistically.

At Focus on Function, we believe great healthcare is about supporting people to live meaningful and fulfilling lives after injury.

Looking forward to a great session and some important conversations.

This week our team came together for our Focus on Function team culture day ❤️

A day filled with connection, laughs, reflection, gratitude, good food, and great conversations.

One of the biggest themes from the day was focusing on improving personally and professionally by just 1% at a time. Small changes really do add up.

We also revisited our vision and values together as a team. It is always so valuable making sure we stay aligned in who we are, what we stand for, and how we want to support our participants, communities, and each other.

Feeling very grateful for this wonderful team.

Last week, Sharon and Alina attended ATSA in Sydney, spending time exploring the latest developments in assistive technology and rehabilitation equipment 💡♿

For the people and families we support, these innovations can play an important role in improving daily life - supporting independence, safety, mobility, and participation within the community 💙

As a regional allied health and nursing service, we know how important it is to stay informed about emerging solutions and practical equipment options that can make real-world differences for people living with complex and catastrophic injuries.

ATSA also provided a valuable opportunity to connect with clinicians, suppliers, and others working across the healthcare and rehabilitation sectors who share a focus on person-centred care and meaningful outcomes 🤝

Have you discovered any equipment or technology recently that’s made a positive impact in your work or everyday life? We’d love to hear about it in the comments 👇

A little shout out to our incredible team 👏

Behind every service, report, home visit, phone call, funding request and participant outcome is a team of people who genuinely care.

We are incredibly proud of the culture we are continuing to build across Focus on Function. A team that is:
• Supportive
• Collaborative
• Passionate about quality care
• Always willing to help each other
• Committed to our communities

Complex community rehabilitation takes teamwork, communication and a lot of behind-the-scenes effort — and we truly appreciate the people who make it happen every day.

Very grateful for this team 💛

Sometimes the best way to understand assistive technology is to try it yourself 💡♿

Last week at ATSA in Sydney, Alina had the opportunity to test drive some of the latest equipment designed to support independence, mobility, and everyday participation for people living with complex injuries and disabilities 🚗💨

For the people and families we support, access to the right equipment can have a significant impact - improving safety, confidence, comfort, and connection with the community 💙

As a regional allied health and nursing service, experiences like this help us stay informed about practical solutions that can support real-life outcomes for people living in rural and regional communities.

And let’s be honest… testing the equipment is always a highlight 😄

What’s the most impressive piece of assistive technology you’ve seen recently? We’d love to hear about it in the comments 👇
