You’re invited to the Person Centred Evacuation Expo!

What would it be like to go to an evacuation centre in an emergency? Come and find out, calmly and with support, before a real emergency happens.

📅 Friday 13 November, 3pm to 7pm
📍 Frederick Street Reserve rooms, Wynyard
✅ Free, all welcome, no bookings required

On the day you can:
• Walk through a realistic evacuation centre set-up
• Meet SES, Tasmania Police and Tasmania Fire Service personnel
• Explore emergency vehicles and equipment
• See live demonstrations and try interactive activities
• Create your own guides or social stories at instant photo stations
• Enjoy a free community BBQ

Bring the family, meet your emergency services and get ready to feel prepared. Be ready. Be confident. Together.

Communication looks different for everyone 💚

Next week is National Week of Deaf People, with International Day of Sign Languages recognised on 23 September.

At Kaloma, we know how important it is for everyone to feel heard, understood and included, whether they communicate through speech, sign, gestures, pictures, technology or in their own way.

It’s also a great reminder for all of us to keep learning new ways to communicate and connect.

R U OK? Day is tomorrow 💛

It’s a good reminder to check in with the people around us, not just tomorrow, but any day.

A simple “How are you really going?” can mean more than we realise.

R U OK?Day is tomorrow, Thursday 10 September. But check‑ins shouldn't only happen once a year.

If you've noticed a change in someone and you’re thinking about checking in, ask R U OK? - whether that's today, tomorrow, or Any Day.

🐾We’ve got a little FOMO…

Somehow we managed to miss both International Cat Day and International Dog Day this month! 😅

So we’re making up for it now, please enjoy some of the very important furry members of the Kaloma family. 🐶🐱💚

Because really, do we need a special day to show off our pets?

We’ve been making the most of the sunshine and getting out and about with our participants. From little outings to exploring the local community, it’s been great to enjoy more time outdoors.

Looking for a little extra support to get out and about or get involved in your community? Get in touch with our team, we’d love to hear from you!
