💙 June is Aphasia Awareness Month 💙

Aphasia is a communication disorder that can affect a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, and write, often following a stroke or brain injury.

At OT Group, we are privileged to support individuals living with aphasia as they build confidence, develop communication strategies, and work towards their goals. Their determination and resilience inspire us every day.

This year’s theme, , reminds us of the importance of raising awareness, fostering understanding, and creating more inclusive communities for people living with aphasia.

Together, we can help ensure every voice is heard. 💙

🎉 Celebrating 3 years with OT Group! 🎉

This month we’re celebrating Andrinna’s 3-year anniversary with OT Group 🙌💛

Over the past three years, Andrinna has become a true subject matter expert in Home Modifications and Assistive Technology, supporting clients to live more safely, independently and confidently in their homes.

One of Andrinna’s favourite things about working at OT Group is the incredible team culture, the opportunities for growth, and being able to celebrate meaningful wins with her clients. She also has a particular passion for working with people living with neurological conditions, helping them achieve their goals and maximise their independence.

When she’s not at work, you’ll find Andrinna catching up with friends, playing badminton 🏸, getting lost in a good book 📚, or exploring Melbourne’s restaurant scene 🍽️.

Thank you for your dedication, expertise and positivity, Andrinna. Congratulations on an amazing 3 years with OT Group — we’re lucky to have you as part of the team! 🎊✨

As a valued member of our leadership team, Judy has played a huge role in supporting the growth and development of the Melbourne team through mentoring, onboarding, shadowing opportunities, and ongoing clinical support. With more than 25 years of OT experience, her expertise across complex home mods, assistive technology, wheelchair & seating, housing assessments, and FCAs is truly invaluable.

Judy’s knowledge, leadership, and generosity in supporting others continue to shape our team every day, and we are so grateful to have her as part of the OT Group family.

Today we’re proud to be part of the Be Well Be Connected Expo 2026 in Bendigo 💚

Events like this are such an important opportunity to connect with our community, meet local families and carers, and collaborate with other passionate providers who are committed to supporting positive ageing, disability inclusion and accessible allied health services.

At OT Group, we believe meaningful support starts with genuine connection — listening to people’s stories, understanding individual needs and delivering care that is person-centred, culturally responsive and empowering.

If you’re attending the expo today, come say hello to Mikaela, Jess and Chloe at the Fosterville Gold Bendigo Exhibition Centre between 10am–2pm 👋
