Residents enjoy another great Carols at Robelle Domain Carols at Robelle Domain has certainly cemented itself as the largest annual community event in the Greater Springfield area.

Approximately 5000 people attended the Carols at Robelle Domain on Saturday, 7 December.

The crowd were very well behaved and were provided with a program worthy of being televised.

Santa and Mrs Clause arrived on the local Springfield Vet’s Fire Truck, glow products were sold with all the proceeds going back to the local Chaplains, live animals including donkeys, sheep and camels were used to reenact the Christmas story.

Cr David Morrison would like to thank all sponsors and in particular Orion Town Centre who have been the major sponsor for the Carols at Robelle Domain for the last three years. Paul Gianotti from All Fired Up Fireworks always delivers a fantastic fireworks to conclude the program and Steve Hodgson and staff from Ray White are on hand to freely give an ice block to all leaving, giving away over 3000 ice blocks on the night.

Cr David Morrison said the standard and professionalism of the artists and the production crew was excellent.

“We have already had a debrief meeting and we have some exciting ideas for this year already, including a large screen overflow area.

“All the local churches work together to deliver these community carols and ensure the Christmas message is clear and not forgotten,” said Cr Morrison.

Personally Speaking welcome to 2014!

Now a Compounding Pharmacy

By Susannah Friis with Susannah Friis

Another new year full of opportunities and possibilities. A fresh start, we like to say, don’t we?

What exactly is a fresh start? fresh |fre sh| adjective 1 not previously known or used; new or different : the court had heard fresh evidence.

2 recently created or experienced and not faded or impaired : the memory was still fresh in their minds.

And the definition of ‘start’ was rather long but the essence is ‘to begin’.

I like the definition of fresh – not previously known or used; new or different. Sometimes, it seems as though we say the words fresh start but what actually ends up happening is just a re-hash, a do-over of the same thing.

But, by it’s definition, a fresh start is something new entirely. It’s not something we’ve tried before and are just going to approach a different way. It’s actually about starting something that is completely new to us.

I’m all for fresh starts. I like to try new things, to jump onto new projects, and create new experiences.

In fact, I like it so much, I’m in very real danger of never finishing anything due to the allure of every ‘new’ project that comes into my field of vision! But that’s a whole other topic, for another month.

While we’re in the mood for fresh starts, why not extend it a bit? Are there people in your life who deserve a fresh start? Relationships you’ve let go by the wayside; hurts you’ve held on to; mistakes you’ve not forgiven?

What if we decided to let the people in our life have a fresh start too? And what if we gave them a true fresh start, not just a re-run of the same old way of relating, but a different relationship altogether?

A fresh start is not the same as a second chance.

A second chance is another turn at the same thing. A fresh start is the beginning of a new whole new way.

If we’re honest, we’ll know that we all need a fresh start at some time in our lives. We need a ‘wipe the slate clean’, complete and utter new beginning. And it’s in our best interests to recognise that need in ourselves and in those around us.

What fresh start are you going to make this year?

Is it beginning a relationship anew? Is it a business venture? All fresh starts involve risk but as the saying goes ‘if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got’.

Go out on a limb this year and have yourself a fresh start!

Coaching For Life

with Dr Kate Lemerle PhD MAPS Dr Kate Lemerle has over 25 years experience in the health industry and is a Coaching Psychologist with Chrysalis Wellness Services

With Christmas behind us and the new school year about to start, it’s a good time to consider the goals we want for our children for 2014.

Most parents say they “just want the kids to be happy”, but what do we really mean by this? Is happiness the only thing we want for our children, or are there other qualities we believe will help them achieve success in life?

For example, I believe most parents want their children to be strong enough to persevere even when the going gets tough. We also want our kids to be resilient, to be able to ‘bounce back’ when things don’t go the way they’d hoped. Most of us want our children to grow into compassionate adults who show caring and sensitivity to others. And we want them to know themselves, their own unique strengths and personality traits, as well as being aware enough of their deficits so that they are willing to keep growing into their best possible selves.

When we look at people who have become outstanding in their own field, we used to think this was just genetic luck. But now we know that success is much more than just the DNA. In fact, true success is born of hard work, passion and determination.

Research has shown that innate ability has only a small influence on why people go from being merely good at something to being truly great.

The real drivers for success are having a vision that inspires excitement and grit, setting goals that are prioritised over other (often more attractive) indulgences, connecting with people who believe in us and are willing to share their own wisdom and experience, and then committing to deliberate and persistent practice.

We know it’s this latter quality that rewires the brain such that challenges become natural habits or skills. Of course, persistent practice is not often much fun but many studies have shown that those elite performers were able to use the quality of grit to engage in solitary practice over and over until they mastered each objective on the path towards their final goal.

In reality, most of us are comfortable not being experts and don’t really expect our kids to become experts either. But as parents, to nurture these qualities of passion, perseverance and practice in our kids gives them some pretty fantastic tools to get through life well.

So, at the start of the school year, consider sitting down with your kids and talking with them about what they want to achieve this year, no matter how big or small. Map out the steps they’ll need to ensure the best chance of success, including helping them understand the importance of time management and balancing work, rest and play.

Most of all, accept that you are their most important coach, take the task seriously and do the best you can to guide them whilst also sharing their highs and lows along the way.

And finally, do the same for yourself since the best coaches are those who walk the walk, and don’t just talk the talk!

On Friday, December 6, the Year 6 Graduation provided a wonderful culmination to a very busy year. For the Year 6 students a new journey begins in 2014 with their transition to Middle Schooling on the Middle and Senior Campus. Year Six students will take with them very fond memories of their time on the Primary Campus and are excited about their move to the Middle and Senior Campus.

As illustrated with the examples above, a key element of a TSAC education is the focus given to the personal growth and development of students across all year levels. The College adopts a holistic approach to education and believes very strongly in the value of the programmes and events that support our students’ journey as young men and women.

While the College has a clear and strong focus on students achieving their best academically and participating in any number of the many extracurricular activities on offer, the time and effort devoted to the personal domain is seen as an essential underpinning of student achievement and success.

New club set to start in the new year Soroptimist International (SI), a women’s service club, is intending to start a new club in Springfield.

This dynamic association has 90 000 women in 125 countries and aims to educate, empower and enable women and girls globally.

In New Guinea, Soroptimists are training women to become midwives and birthing attendants. Soroptimist clubs have provided education and vocational tuition for computer usage, tailoring, hairdressing and food production to help girls and women become independent.

Once the club is chartered, the members will decide on the local, national and International projects they will support. For example, The SI Logan club is helping high school students in New Guinea with the purchase of sewing machines, and locally has given a bursary to a high school student, and, annually convenes a Leadership Conference for Year 10 girls. SI Beenleigh has recently led a walk against domestic violence. Other clubs are involved in land care and with indigenous issues. Globally SI has a voice at the United Nations and advocacy is very important.

Helping with the establishment of the new club will be Bev Ditton who chartered the SI Logan Club, Ralda Forzin, Regional President of SI South Queensland and Shelly Haley from SI Brisbane South.

“I love the challenge of finding motivated community minded women who, when working with a big organisation can have an impressive impact,” said Bev Ditton from Soroptimist International of South Queensland.

“It is also a way to meet many other women, form new friendships in the community and to have fun. Business meetings are once a month with coffee nights and dinner meetings with inspirational speakers,” said Bev Ditton.

The first meeting at Orion Shopping Centre was held earlier this month. Women interested in joining the club can contact Bev Ditton for more information on 0414 340 216.

It’s not too late to prepare your home for summer storms. None of us will forget the last two summers where floods were a very real danger, so let’s all make sure we do everything we can to stay safe and ensure our property is as ready as it can be.

The first place to start is by holding a family meeting and discussing various exit strategies or simply what to do in the case of a severe storm. This doesn’t need to be alarming for any younger members, rather, remember to give them specific tasks so they are a part of the solution and feel useful during an emergency. Having a job to do can ease anxiety and engender a feeling of contribution.

Ensure you have important documents all together and easily accessible. With so much technology available to us, an alternative to having to worry about grabbing hard copies is to simply take a photograph of documents, save them to your smart phone, dropbox or icloud, or an external portable hard drive. This saves having to keep them free from damage or the possibility of forgetting them on exiting your home.

Assemble both an evacuation kit and emergency kit, if possible. An evacuation kit should include items such as a blanket or two, a change of clothes for each family member, valuables/mementos, phones and essential medication.

An emergency kit needs to include water and food for three days, first aid kit, torch, spare batteries including phone chargers, cash, toiletries, and essential medication.

For a complete list, go to www.emergency.qld.gov.au/emq/ css/beprepared.asp and click on the SES checklist link.

There are also things that can be done around the home to increase safety and reduce potential damage to you and your neighbours homes.

Check the condition of your roof and keep gutters clear of leaf matter and branches. Trim branches close to the home and secure loose items in the garden.

Identify the strongest room in the house in case shelter is needed during a severe storm. Know how and where to turn off main water, electricty and gas supplies. Fill buckets and/or bath with clean water in case of lack of supply. Remember to take advantage of storm warning alerts and check for updates regularly.

Most importantly remember that houses and possessions can be replaced but people can’t. Always make decisions with the safety of you and your family as the priority and leave your property before it’s too late.

Summer is a fun time of year for families, but it can also be a dangerous season for pets. As the warm weather approaches, RSPCA Qld are urging pet owners to keep their beloved furry friends in the shade with plenty of water.

As the temperature soars the RSPCA hotline 1300 ANIMAL receives an alarming number of calls about pets left in the hot sun.

RSPCA Qld Spokesman Michael Beatty says, “If a dog is tethered, they can become tangled and be unable to reach their water or appropriate shelter.

“We recommend that there are at least two to three containers of water in case one gets knocked over.”

Every year the RSPCA call centre receive hundreds of calls about pets (primarily dogs) left alone in hot cars.

“People simply have to be aware of the dangers,” said Mr Beatty. “If it’s thirty degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can potentially rise to well over forty degrees in less than five minutes.”

RSPCA Senior Veterinarian Anne Chester also emphasises the severity of the paralysis tick and importance in prevention.

“There are several prevention methods including washes, collars, sprays, spot-ons and tablets. The paralysis tick can act very quickly and can cause severe impairment or worse. It’s a killer,” she warns.

The RSPCA are encouraging pet owners to take a few simple measures to ensure the safety of their pets.

Ice cubes in water bowls, freezing treats in Kong toys, paddle pools and not walking dogs in the middle of the day can make all the difference to their overall health and wellbeing.

According to the RSPCA, if an animal is suffering from heat stress, immediately cooling them down is crucial.

“It’s no good rushing them to the vet in a hot car because the chances are their temperature will continue to rise. Try to cool them down first,” said Mr Beatty.

Recently, the Managing Director from Queensland Kids, Mr Paul Quilliam, attended a Kiwanis Club of Brisbane meeting to share the vision of Hummingbird House to be established for Queensland families with children affected by lifelimiting conditions.

The UK’s population of 63 million boasts 49 children’s hospices. With Australia’s population of 23 million there are only two children’s hospices nationally and none of them are in Queensland. This is about to change through recent State and Federal funding announcements to support the building and operational costs of Hummingbird House.

As Co-founder of Queensland Kids, Mr Quilliam presented an update of the project as well as highlighting the strong synergies between the two organisations with their advocacy for children. Internationally, the Kiwanis Club has a long history of supporting children’s hospices and fundraising for paediatric palliative care initiatives.

Mr Quilliam expressed Queensland Kids’ gratitude to the members of the club for its recent generosity of a $1000 donation towards Hummingbird House and his optimism for continued relationship building between the both of them.

At the conclusion of the presentation, Kiwanis Club of Brisbane President, Ms Anita Lennox presented Mr Quilliam with a certificate of appreciation for his contribution to the evening’s proceedings.

Suffering with Serious Neck Pain?

We have an offer for you!

AND why is your head so far forward? You look like you’re 85 years old!

Headache and neck pain are usually connected to neck posture, even if you’re only a child, but it gets more prevalent as we get older. Forward head position is linked to higher risk of headache, neck pain, upper back pain, and shoulder and arm pain and numbness in the arms and fingers. Quite apart from that, it’s not a good look. Who can look young and vital with head drooping and bent shoulders?

Spine shape counts. There is good medical research linking neck shape distortion to pain after whiplash, to increased neck pain risk, increased headache and migraine risk and increased risk of osteoarthritis in the neck. In fact, in one large medical study of those aged over 70, rigid greater forward neck position in some is linked even, believe it or not, to earlier death.

Our clinic is one of only perhaps a dozen in Australia having the skills, training and unique equipment to correct these spine shape distortions.

Forest Lake Chiropractic is a private chiropractic practice run by chiropractors, one of whom has unique advanced postgraduate university education in Pain Medicine and using world’s best chiropractic practice research on an evidence-informed basis for the care of spinal pain syndromes. In fact, Forest Lake Chiropractic is currently active in university based neck spine research within the clinic. We have just (November) finished an 11 ½ year project on a new neck bone imaging technique developed at Forest Lake Chiropractic, which will be published worldwide in 2014.

We can’t help everyone, but we may help you.

We use no drugs, pills, injections, or operations. Just proven, safe, natural, evidence-based, world class, cost-effective Chiropractic care.

Forest Lake Chiropractic is upstairs in the Professional Suites of Forest Lake Village Shopping Centre (under the clock tower), with parking right at the front door. We are open at 7am every weekday, and Page 12 - January 2014 - The Greater Springfield Times

don’t close until 6pm (we are absent between 11am and 3pm daily), and we are also open Saturdays from 8am until we finish. We have HiCaps, and x-rays (when needed) are bulk billed. Our treatment fees per visit are lower than those of physiotherapists, acupuncturists, and even massage therapists, and ALL health funds offering chiropractic coverage in Australia cover us.

Your GP can refer you to us for WorkCover or Medicare funded Enhanced Primary Care where appropriate (you must see your GP first).

Because so many people tell us “I wish I had found you sooner ...” in the New Year, we will waive our usual consultation, examination and report fee total of $100.00, and if you bring this ad and present for care, $47.00 will be all you will pay for those services. For this you will get: • An in-depth consultation about your neck problems where we will listen ... really listen … to the details of your case; • We will actually measure neck pain severity and the impact it’s having on your daily life; • A comprehensive physical, spinal, muscle and nerve examination; • A second consultation before any treatment to discuss fully all details of your case, where we can map out for you what options apply, including info on beds, pillows, sitting, standing, exercise, risk reduction and other aspects of self-help.

NATIONAL SENIORS UPDATE

Goodna/Redbank Branch

by Vera

Somerwil, Branch President

Happy New Year to everyone. Christmas 2013 is behind us and we are on the move again for 2014. The very last activity for the Branch was Christmas lunch at the Springfield Tavern with 48 members attending.

After a little hiccough and a slow start, lunch was served and enjoyed by everyone. Our congratulations to the girls on duty that day. It was also very nice to see Ailleen up and about and also to have Joy and her Mum join us for the meal.

The Goodna/Redbank National Seniors Branch is on holidays now until February 2014 with the first activity being a get together at Gloria Jeans, Orion, Springfield for morning coffee, Wednesday 4th February at 10.00am.

For the adventurous, it is now possible to travel by train from Goodna to Darra, change platforms and to travel to Springfield Central, a very good run we hear.

The first Branch meeting will be on Tuesday 18th February. The speaker will be author Ryll Pau to talk about her book “Pebbles on the Road” a story about her life’s journey. It is hoped you may be inspired to write your own history.

The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield (prov) and the Brookwater Golf Club joined together in Christmas celebrations when they conducted the Rotary clubs Christmas breakup and at the same time donated gifts collected to the Kids in Care Christmas Appeal. The theme for last year’s appeal was: “They say it takes a village to raise a child, and this is particularly true for some children and young people who can’t live with their families. Be part of the village this Christmas – show you care by donating a gift to the Kids In Care Christmas Appeal.”

Gifts that were donated by the Rotary club and golf club members made Christmas a happy time when they were presented to the kids by Santa at the Kids in Care Christmas Party at the Springfield Child Safety Service Springfield Tower headquarters on 20th December.

The dedicated band of staff at the Springfield agency services a catchment area that includes Camira, Springfield, Redbank Plains, Bellbird Park, Goodna to Ripley servicing over 230 kids in care from infant to 18 years old.

The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield (prov) holds its meetings every Thursday evening at 6.30pm at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club, 1 Tournament Drive Brookwater.

Creative pathways to community’s heART The ICON Creative Summit, held at Robelle Domain on New Years Eve, is a celebration of creativity within the community, showcasing great performances, skills and local talent with music, dance, and entertainment, as well as a fashion parade.

The ICON Creative Summit’s fashion parade allowed local designers to stretch their wings, not only within their own areas of artistic expression, but created opportunities to expand their tools and design elements.

Three local designers stepped forward and embraced other mediums to create a collection of wearable garments. Brisbane Visual Arts Community member, Tricia Smout; Ipswich based porcelain artist, Julie Maddocks; and Bellbird Park’s textile artist, Jolanta Szymczyk, expanded their portfolio of work by applying other mediums into their garments. As a result, traditional forms of paper art (origami), porcelain and textiles were successfully mixed together at this year fashion show.

In Julie’s Maddocks words, the event was a delightful experience and one which the designers will never forget and were so proud of, a great tribute to work overseen by Daniel Gavet from the ICON Creative team.

Creativity expresses itself in many ways and forms. It is an integral part of life and a significant element of wellbeing.

It overcomes barriers and brings people together. Ultimately, it enriches lives and gives avenues to communication.

Finally, it brings a balance to our busy lives.

If you are creative yourself, run a creative business, are inspired by or drawn to creative work, interested in meeting like-minded people or want to get involved and shape up the local creative community, Jolanta would like to hear from you. Planning is already underway to run the inaugural meeting in late February. For meeting details, please contact Jolanta by sending an email to studio88@optusnet.com.au, or calling 0405 336 240.

Experience scouting at sign-on day A sign on day is being held at all three local Scout Groups – Camira, Goodna and Redbank Plains on Saturday 8th February from 10am to 2pm.

The event is a great opportunity for children and parents to find out if Scouting suits them.

There will be opportunities to experience Scouting activities and talk to Leaders and members about their Scouting experiences.

Scouts is a worldwide organisation for youth aged from six to 26 years. It teaches social and leadership skills through challenge and outdoor adventure. The program follows the school calendar year with outdoor activities held on weekends and during school holidays.

Scouts Queensland Chief Commissioner, Kirsty Brown OAM, reported that there are over 15 000 adult and youth member Scouts in Queensland.

“Scouting traditions have been in Australia for over 100 years and we have developed a strong, fun program based on the needs of today’s youth,” she said.

Those interested in finding out more can go to Camira Scout Group (at Melinda Street, Camira); Goodna Scout Group (at 52 Church Street, Goodna) or Redbank Plains Scout Group (at Jones Road, Redbank Plains), on Saturday 8th February from 10am to 2pm.

Residents can also contact the relevant Scout leader for the three groups: Camira Scout Group – Stephanie 0401 395 408 info@ camirascouts.com; Goodna Scout Group – Bernice 0417 777 970 rosella@goodnascouts.com; Redbank Plains Scout Group – Peta 0417 734 280 wally.1974.pl@gmail.com.

Veterinary News

Snake bites and pets

YOU WOULD NOTICE IF 80% OF THIS WONDER DISAPPEARED

80% OF KOALA HABITAT HAS ALREADY DISAPPEARED

Go to www.savethekoala.com to help, by adopting a koala today.

Page 18 - January 2014 - The Greater Springfield Times

Snakes are something we often forget about, but with the onset of warmer months we have unfortunately seen some fatal cases of brown snake bites. Both dogs and cats are at high risk of being bitten by a snake. Puppies are especially at risk as they may see the snake as something to play with.

Cats may see snakes as prey, or again something to play with.

If your pet has been bitten by a snake, the most common symptoms include: weakness, followed by a sudden collapse, paralysis, twitching of the muscles, vomiting and dilated (enlarged) pupils.

If a pet has been bitten by snake and it seems fine, chances are it’s not. Commonly, when a pet is bitten by a brown snake, it will collapse, only to get back up again. This is where owners make the biggest mistake by thinking their pet is fine and not seeking veterinary care. Your pet may then collapse a second time. The longer your pet goes without veterinary treatment, the likelihood of survival decreases.

Seek veterinary care as soon as possible and in the meantime, keep your pet quiet to minimize the spread of venom through the body. If the snake is still alive, don’t attempt to move it. This is not only dangerous for your pet but also puts you at risk. If possible, the snake should be identified. If you are certain the snake is dead and are able to take it to the vet with you, it can be identified there.

If a brown snake bite is suspected, the first thing a veterinarian will do is to run a few tests which may include a blood and urine test. This will be done in house so the results come back as soon as possible. Your pet will then be given snake anti serum and placed on fluids to assist with the recovery. Sometimes, a pet needs to be ventilated, meaning that breathing needs to be supported with a machine. Even after recovery, your pet will need to be kept quiet and may be required to stay in hospital for a number of days.

To minimise the risk of your dog or cat being bitten when taking your dog for a walk, keep it on a lead, especially around bushy and high grassy areas. Keep your yard clean and the grass short. Eliminate any hiding spots for snakes.

With cats, keep them indoors in the hot weather. There is unfortunately no way of preventing snake bites. The best way of minimising the risk is simply to be super vigilant during the hot summer months.

Remember, snakes have just as much right as we do to live in the areas we do and if seen should be left alone. They are probably more frightened of you than you are of them!

Snakes should not be killed but a licensed snake handler will be able to catch a snake and relocate it for you.

Councillor’s Comments

by David Morrison ( DIVISION 1)

PH:

3818 3100 OR 0408 985 615

It has been my privilege to represent Division One on Ipswich City Council for the last fourteen years. When I was elected in 2000 the Centenary Highway stopped at Richlands and Springfield Lakes was an idea on paper. Much has happened in the last fourteen years and I have always tried to keep a healthy balance between development and environment.

If you have any local or city wide concerns please email me on dmorrison@ipswich.qld. gov.au Happy New Year People often tell me that the years seem to be passing quicker. It certainly seems that way when so much is happening. I trust you all have a very fruitful 2014.

2014 Another year of building for the Greater Springfield area. Committed projects include: the expansion of Orion Town Centre; duplication of USQ; Mater Hospital; Energex SubStation; schools expanding; opening of “Westec” Trade Training Centre; Brisbane AFL Training Grounds; opening of Eden Station Drive connecting Augusta Parkway with Springfield Greenbank Arterial; G.E. State Headquarters; and a few in the pipeline that will be announced at the appropriate time.

Temporary Car Parks Approximately 300 temporary car parks have been constructed at Orion Town Centre to help provide parking solutions for Springfield Central Station while the 500 permanent car parks are constructed.

Centenary Highway Duplication I have received many complaints from residents who travel from Springfield Lakes to Brisbane in peak hours. When the two lanes become one there is a bottle-neck created that makes the traffic queue for up to a couple of kilometres.

This is a State Government road and I encourage residents who are concerned to contact State Members: Jo-Ann Miller MP e: bundamba@parliament.qld.gov.au Annastacia Palaszczuk MP e: inala@parliament.qld.gov.au Minister Scott Emerson e: transportandmainroads@ministerial.qld.gov.au I will also contact them on behalf of the community.

Two New Stations The rail has been welcomed by the community on the whole. We thank the previous and present State Governments for the delivery of the rail.

Residential Speeding Remember all residential roads are 50kph unless otherwise signed. Police are the body with the authority to issue fines for speeding. If you have habitual speeding problems contact the Police on 3814 8999.

Disciples Church Building The Greater Springfield area has its first official Church building. The old Mitre 10 building in the Spring Lake Village has been converted to a church building with the official opening planned for Saturday 1st September at 4pm.

Camira Friends and Neighbours update

The first week in December was our Christmas Lunch at the Springfield Tavern, with 93 members present and even a visit from Santa!

The food was lovely and I am sure everyone enjoyed themselves; I must say the desserts were to die for.

December 11th was our last meeting of the year and to celebrate the end of the year we had a Christmas breakup party at the club house where everyone brought a plate of goodies to share. It all looked so lovely and tasted yummy!

I would like to say what a wonderful two years it has been for me. I’ve enjoyed coming along to the club every week and enjoyed all the friendship, plus the outings, cafe nights, picnics, and the speakers each month. Such a wonderful club to belong to.

I would like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2014.

EVERY YOUNG PERSON DESERVES A YOUNG LIFE Aged care is no place for any young person. Yet right now, more than 7,500 young Australians with high care needs are living in aged care.

700,000 more are being cared for at home by family and friends, often with limited support.

Why? If you, or a loved one, were to suffer an accident or illness that left you, or them, in need of full-time care, there are currently few alternatives for care and housing available.

Youngcare works to change this by building more age appropriate housing; financially assisting through At Home Care Grants; and providing information and advice through the Youngcare Connect hotline.

Every young person deserves a young life and you can help create change by visiting www.youngcare.com.au/donate
