Check out these eco warriors! 🌳💪

Our Ballina Life Skills customers spent today working alongside members of the local community and the Ballina Shire Council planting native trees and learning about conservation.

You couldn't have picked a more beautiful day to be outside. And no one minded getting their hands a little dirty to help improve the local environment and make a greener future!

When Ella was born, her family were facing uncertainty about what the future might hold. Those early days were filled with questions no parent is ever prepared for.

Since then, Ella has made remarkable progress. With dedicated support from her family and care team, she is building the strength and skills needed to be a part of her community. At Northcott, her personalised, play-based physiotherapy focuses on strength, balance, coordination and mobility, helping her develop independence.

Unfortunately, children with disability like Ella are still missing out on the supports they need. They are going without therapy, essential equipment and early support because the urgent funding isn’t available when they need it most.

Your donation today will provide vital funds for essential equipment and ensure children with disability receive support when it matters most: https://bit.ly/3RjZkc0

27 May to 3 June is National Reconciliation Week (NRW), a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, while exploring how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is 'All In', a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

Reconciliation and advancing First Nations peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the burden of advocating, educating and leading reconciliation efforts for far too long.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, which is why Northcott is committed to continue building on more than 10 years of reconciliation work. We acknowledge that reconciliation requires ongoing listening, learning, reflection and action.

Northcott’s vision for Reconciliation is to be an inclusive organisation, growing support and connection where everyone thrives. We are committed to collaborating with First Nations peoples in supporting wellbeing, opportunity, self-determination and strong community outcomes.

Northcott strives to work in a manner that enables First Nations peoples to achieve their goals and aspirations. We recognise that people with disability want to remain connected to their communities and the broader society and we are committed to supporting them.

We will continue to strive to create culturally safe workplaces where First Nations colleagues feel respected, supported and empowered.

Today is National Sorry Day.

Every year on 26 May, we remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of First Nations peoples who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, The Stolen Generations.

National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge ongoing impacts and our collective responsibility through healing, truth-telling and reconciliation.

We recognise the importance of listening, learning and walking together toward a more inclusive future. This year we officially launched Northcott’s third Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which is an important milestone in our reconciliation journey.

Through listening, accountability, and ongoing learning from First Nations voices and lived experience, we have built on more than 10 years of reconciliation work in our current Stretch RAP.

National Sorry Day is not only a day of remembrance, but also a time for reflection, truth-telling and commitment to meaningful action.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come and will continue the work ahead as we walk this path together.
