Hollywood arrived at RFBI Dubbo Masonic Village for our special movie icon dress up day! 🎬🌟

Staff put on a spectacular runway show dressed as fan favourite film characters, while our residents served as the expert judging panel to crown the best dressed team members.

It was an afternoon filled with wonderful costumes, great entertainment and familiar favourite characters from the big screen 🍿

You're looking at the champions of our 2026 NRL Footy Tipping Competition at RFBI Raleigh Masonic Village 🏉🏆

Over the past 26 weeks, our residents have been following every tackle, try and pass of the NRL season. Right from round one, residents picked their favourite teams to support, sparking plenty of friendly banter and rivalry across the village.

Each week, tippers submitted their predictions, eagerly checking the leader board to see who was climbing the ladder. Following the Grand Final, we hosted a special presentation ceremony where all participating residents received certificates for their fantastic efforts, and our top three tippers were awarded their medals.

Congratulations to our 2026 Tipping Champions:
🥇 1st Place: Carol
🥈 2nd Place: Gwen
🥉 3rd Place: Reli

October is Mental Health Month! 💙 At RFBI, we believe that mental health and emotional well-being matter at every single stage of life - whether you’re a resident, a home care client, a family member or a member of our care team.

Growing older, navigating life changes, or caring for those we love can bring both moments of joy and times of quiet struggle. That’s why creating a warm, connected and compassionate community is at the heart of everything we do.

Mental well-being thrives when we feel seen, valued and connected. Across our RFBI villages and home care services we’re dedicated to nurturing mental health every day through meaningful social connection, compassionate and person-centred care and a culture of support.

We encourage everyone to take proactive steps to support themselves and those around them. This may look like:
💚 Checking in on a neighbour or friend for a friendly chat.
💚 Spending time outdoors enjoying fresh air and sunshine.
💚 Engaging in activities that bring you comfort, creativity and joy.

Let us continue to look out for one another and create a warm, supportive community for all.

The Australian Government introduced updates to home care funding on 1 October.

The good news is that Personal Care (which includes assistance with essential daily tasks that help you maintain your health, hygiene, dignity and your independence) can now be fully funded by the government through your support plan.

That can mean no out-of-pocket expenses for eligible individuals.

Our dedicated Care at Home team is here to help you navigate these updates smoothly. We can look over your current My Aged Care statement with you and help adjust your care hours so you get the maximum benefit from your plan.

Read our detailed guide on what these personal care changes mean for you and your family: rfbi.com.au/news/support-at-home-personal-care-changes/

Aged care is at a pivotal moment.

As reforms continue, expectations rise and demand for services grows, it’s more important than ever that we have open and honest conversations about what it will take to build a sustainable aged care system that delivers the dignity, care and support older Australians deserve.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Frank Price, is helping to start those conversations by sharing his perspective on some of the challenges and opportunities facing aged care – from workforce and funding to future capacity, sustainability and what meaningful, person-centred care should look like.

And sometimes, getting people talking calls for a different approach. In a recent feature published by HelloCare, Frank discusses why RFBI has turned to creative storytelling and satire to draw attention to some of these challenges and encourage a broader conversation about the future of aged care.

While there’s some humour in the videos, the message behind them is serious: how do we create an aged care system that is sustainable for the future while keeping older Australians at the heart of every decision?
