Shepparton, let’s get curious. 👀

What could happen if NDIS and aged care professionals started having more conversations about what’s possible together?

On Wednesday 9 September 2026, ACT Curious, Support Network and Paramount Support - Faisal Habeeb are bringing local NDIS and aged care professionals together at Noble Café in Shepparton.

Not for another morning of sitting through presentations.
For good conversations, fresh ideas and better connections.

We’ll be getting curious about psychological support, Positive Behaviour Support, assessments, EAP and workforce wellbeing, support and workforce solutions, SIL and accommodation.

But more importantly, we’re creating a space to meet the people behind the services, share challenges, exchange ideas and discover what might be possible when we work together.
☕ Morning tea is on us.
🤝 Dedicated networking time.
🎁 Plus, one attendee will have the chance to win a Private Sanctuary & Bathe for Two at Peninsula Hot Springs.

📅 Wednesday 9 September 2026

Most of our worry isn’t actually rooted in the present.
It’s either projecting into the future — imagining worst-case scenarios, rehearsing conversations that haven’t happened, or trying to control outcomes that don’t exist yet.
Or it’s dwelling on the past — replaying mistakes, wishing things had gone differently, or holding onto regret.
Both directions burn up a huge amount of mental and emotional energy.
It’s like revving an engine while the car is still in neutral — lots of noise, zero movement.
And while our minds wander to the past and future, the present moment quietly slips away.
Yet the present is the only point where we have real power — the only place where we can make decisions, take meaningful action, or change course.
When we catch ourselves spiralling into “what ifs” or “if onlys,” the most empowering thing we can do is gently bring our focus back to now.
Because now is where clarity lives.
Now is where solutions are created.
And now is where life is actually happening.

The Quiet Epidemic: Social Avoidance in Today’s Workforce
We’re living in one of the most connected times in human history — yet many people are quietly pulling away.
Social avoidance — the tendency to withdraw or steer clear of interpersonal contact — is becoming increasingly common, particularly among younger professionals who’ve grown up navigating digital interactions more comfortably than face-to-face ones.
While this might not sound alarming at first, its impact in client-centric roles is significant.
Team members who avoid engagement may appear disinterested or unapproachable to clients.
Opportunities for collaboration, relationship-building and creative problem-solving can quietly erode.
Over time, confidence, performance and job satisfaction can all take a hit.
The tricky part? Social avoidance often hides behind professionalism — “just busy,” “focused,” or “prefers to work independently.”
But left unchecked, it can strain culture, service quality and connection — the very things that drive thriving workplaces.
It’s time to start asking:
How do we create environments where social connection feels safe, not draining?
How can leaders recognise the difference between healthy autonomy and quiet withdrawal?
At ACT Curious, we’re exploring these questions to help organisations build psychological safety — not just productivity.
Because connection isn’t a soft skill.
It’s a survival skill for the modern workplace.
