Steve's Story

Steve’s Story!

Small steps can lead to big changes. Over time, Steve has been building his confidence and independence through everyday experiences and the things that matter to him.

From feeling more confident completing his shopping to making healthier choices and getting back into activities he enjoys, Steve has worked hard to build up important daily living skills.

It’s been great to see his confidence grow and watch him take more ownership of his day-to-day choices. Most importantly, this is Steve’s journey and he should be proud of how far he’s come.

Cooking together is one of the easiest ways to build life skills and share a laugh with your Support Worker. This month's Healthy Lifestyle pick is a simple Chicken & Veggie Fried Rice — swipe through for the full recipe. Make it with your Support Worker, or have a go on your own.

New month, new ways to get out and get involved! This September we've got Mini Golf, our FITCare Fun Walk, Bowling, SC Rugby Union GF, Ironman 70.3, the Regional Disability Expo, our Monthly BBQ Catch-up and a big day out at Aussie World. Whether you're after a workout, a laugh with mates or somewhere new to explore, there's something on the calendar for you.

Coffee, conversation and good company!

Yesterday's coffee catch-up was exactly the kind of morning we love, participants getting out into the community, having a laugh, and enjoying a proper brew.

A big thank you to for hosting us and keeping the coffees coming and to the beautiful flowers from

Margot's strength journey is one to celebrate!

Since 2024, Margot has been a regular at .hf, training alongside her FITCare Support Workers session after session.

Her cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength have come on in leaps and bounds, all down to her willingness to keep pushing past her comfort zone and she's done it all while managing ongoing challenges like hip bursitis and a fractured wrist along the way, always with a smile on her face.

Some of Margot's stand-out results:
Chest Press: 5kg → 17.5kg (3 rep max)
Lat Pulldown: 10kg → 25kg (3 rep max)
Leg Press: 20kg → 60kg (3 rep max)
Recumbent Bike: 3km with zero resistance in 10 mins → 5km at resistance level 3 in just over 13 mins

Incredible progress Margot, we're so proud of you!
