Ash, Michael, and Nick had a wonderful time exploring Mangrove Creek Dam today. If you're seeking a fresh and accessible location to discover, this is the place to go. Pack your BBQ supplies and take in the breathtaking scenery!

Last Thursday some of our AMPEY friends had a day filled with fun as they participated in 'Talk like a pirate' Day. 🦜🏴‍☠️

With the weather getting warmer, Zoe decided to learn some fire safety tips to share with her AMPEY team 👩‍🚒🧯
It is a good time to practice your evacuation's at home in the event of an emergency.

Got a feeling that someone you know or care about isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it.
By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not OK, you can follow our conversation steps to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.

💛💛💛

Spring is here, and we gave our little garden some much-needed TLC today, thanks to Ash, Nick, and Michael. Can't wait to see our pretty flowers bloom and taste those fresh tomatoes and capsicums we are growing!

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully passed our NDIS Audit.

We would like to express our gratitude to all of our dedicated staff, participants, families, and carers for their support and commitment throughout our journey.

Thank you for your continued dedication and collaboration as we strive to provide exceptional support to our community.

Happy Father's Day to all the father figures in our community. We hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating the positive impact you have on your children's lives. 🧡
