EVERYONE DESERVES A SAFE ARRIVAL

It’s shocking to know that one in five women in Australia have experienced sexual violence, and one in three have experienced physical violence. In fact, domestic and family violence (DFV) is so prevalent that it is the leading preventable contributor to death in women aged 15 to 44*.

Women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities are among the most at risk. They can face significant barriers to getting help including financial dependency, fear of police, language difficulties and a lack of family support.

Mounties and Triglav are pleased to have assisted Sydney based child protection charity, CAPS with the delivery of its community education program, Safe Arrival via a grant last year.

Developed in 2020, Safe Arrival is CAPS’ DFV prevention program for migrant and refugee women. Its aim is to raise awareness of DFV in a positive, non-judgmental manner and provide critical harm prevention skills for participants.

Mounties and Triglav granted CAPS with $28,000 as part of its 2022 ClubGRANTS scheme that is being used by CAPS to roll out the program this month to those in the Fairfield community.

“We are delighted to be using this generous funding to deliver two programs of Safe Arrival to recently arrived migrant and refugee women in the Fairfield community,” explained CAPS CEO, Reegan Barber.

“As part of this program we are hosting ten workshops as well as translating the program workbooks into Arabic, ensuring that as many women in the Fairfield community as possible are able to access the program,” added Reegan.

Each Safe Arrival workshop is designed to increase participants’ knowledge of DFV and build critical harm prevention skills, empowering women to seek help well before the continuation of abuse occurs.

The program covers a range of topics including settlement in Australia, the escalating nature of abuse, the impact of violence at home on children and how to create a safety plan. In addition, participants learn how to help friends or family who might be experiencing DFV, therefore spreading information about vital support services and resources across their communities.

“Through a culturally safe setting, using material provided in multiple languages, participants learn about the abuse cycle and gain knowledge on how to access support services if needed.

“The program provides support and intervention in an accessible and respectful format and helps to prevent or reduce the harm that domestic violence can cause for women and children,” concluded Reegan.

Program delivery by CAPS in the Fairfield community is currently underway, in partnership with a local organisation. CAPS expects that approximately 150 to 200 participants will attend the ten program workshops in total.

WE ARE EDUCATORS

Encouraging our future generation to engage with ANZAC tradition.

In 2019, Mounties Group participated in the RSL & Services Clubs Associations’, ‘Respect the Day’ campaign, designed to promote respect and appreciation of ANZAC Day and to encourage Australians to reflect on the significance of the day.

We continue to strive to encourage our future generations to engage with ANZAC tradition. This year, we continued our tradition and ran our annual ANZAC Day creative writing competition.

The competition allowed all students currently enrolled in years K – 12 attending schools within the Fairfield and Liverpool vicinity to submit creative writing presentations explaining and demonstrating the importance of ANZAC Day in the community and why ANZAC Day occupies a sacred place in Australians’ hearts.

Four finalists were selected to present their entry at Mounties ANZAC Day ceremony on Tuesday 25th April. Presentations took place on the day and a panel of judges selected one winner from a primary school and one winner from a secondary school. The four finalists received a book related to the ANZAC history and tradition. The two winners received a $100 gift card and the highly commended received a $50 gift card.

Mounties Group is particularly passionate about the need to educate our youth and members of the ANZAC Day tradition to ensure the day is recognised and celebrated with due diligence. The competition is a great way of getting the community involved to learn from each other’s experiences and stories.

Meet The Team

At Mounties Health & Fitness, our tertiaryqualified and ESSA accredited Exercise Physiologists deliver personalised exercise programs for a variety of medical conditions. Exercise Physiologist’s are allied health professionals that prevent, treat and manage chronic disease and injury through on-going lifestyle and behaviour modification ranging anywhere from physical injuries to permanent disabilities.

Nathan Tran, our resident Fitness

Exercise Physiologist graduated from the University of Sydney with vast experience in musculoskeletal injuries, chronic conditions, neurological disabilities and mental health and currently has a large portfolio of clients he treats. Our state-of-the-art health and fitness centre caters to all with a great range of equipment accessible for rehabilitation as well as, wheelchair accessibility.

This month’s client spotlight is Franjo who is currently been treated by Nathan. Franjo has been a client of our services for some time, particularly focusing on his cardiovascular fitness, upper and lower body strengthening. Over time, he has increased his independence based around his activities and daily living including, the ability to transfer to and from his wheelchair.

Initially, Franjo struggled with swelling in his lower limbs and muscle weakness and struggled with his ability to walk.

To overcome these difficulties, Franjo worked hard, was determined and committed. He regularly performed his home exercise programs provided by his Exercise Physiologist and attended the gym 3-4 times a week for treatment. Through his efforts, he has seen major improvements in his muscle activation, overall strength, transfer ability, swelling reduction and overall endurance.

One noticeable improvement and obstacle conquered through his program is his ability to get down from his wheelchair to the floor. Prior to this, it has been 8 long years since Franjo could do this as it was regularly associated with falls and would initially take 45 minutes to perform one transfer down and back up. He is now able to successfully complete this in 3 and a half minutes! This achievement has paved way for Franjo to achieve further goals and opportunities in the near future. At present, Franjo is working closely with Nathan concentrating on his lower limb endurance and walking pattern.
