HOUSING OFFERS NEW LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE
10 brand new fully accessible apartments have had their first residents move in to the state-of-the-art facilities in Penrith.
The Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) apartments are designed for people with high support needs disabilities and are developed by local company Astina and managed by AccessAccom as part of the newly developed East Side Quarter.
The one and two-bedroom apartments have been designed right from inception to cater to the unique needs of residents with disabilities and feature widened doorways, adjustable kitchen benches and main bedrooms with provisions for ceiling hoists and accessible ensuites.
Lighting, air conditioning,
blinds and doors can be controlled via voice commands with additional control options including tablets, keypads, remotes, pendants and wall buttons to ensure safety and give the ultimate independence for residents with varying mobility and communication needs.
Co-founder of AccessAccom
Matthew Valenti said the new apartments are designed to make life easier for people with functional impairments.
“SDA is defined as a range of housing specially designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, that makes it easier for them to live as independently as possible, and not be tied to a single support provider,” Valenti said.
The apartments will have an overnight onsite shared support service allowing residents to maximise their independence, lifestyle and privacy while having peace of mind knowing that a support person is close by 24 hours a day.
The complex also offers communal spaces and a first of a kind accessible resort-style pool. With the current estimate at 28,000 people with disability who require SDAs, Valenti said the new apartments have come at the right time.
“For far too long, many young Australians with disabilities have been left with limited housing options, often resulting in premature placement in aged care facilities or group homes. This is a situation we find unacceptable.
Our mission at AccessAccom is to provide tailored living spaces that truly meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities, rather than expecting them to adapt to unsuitable environments,” Valenti said.
“What’s particularly concerning is the lack of awareness about SDA apartments among those who could benefit most from them.
“Despite being funded by the NDIS and offering an affordable solution, many in the disability community aren’t aware that this life-changing option exists.
“It might sound too good to be true, but the transformations we witness in our residents’ lives are real and profoundly moving. We’re not just building apartments; we’re opening doors to independence, dignity and a fuller life for people with disabilities.”
A current AccessAccom tenant, 35-year-old Melisaa Munns said moving into her apartment was a transformative experience.
“I have Cerebral Palsy, which affects my mobility and ability to manage daily tasks,” Munns said.
“It was time for me to move because I needed my own space for privacy and independence. Living in my family’s two-storey home, I was isolated to the lower level since I couldn’t get upstairs, and even then, I couldn’t access all parts of the lower floor and still needed a lot of assistance with everyday things.
“Moving into this apartment has changed everything for me. In my old place, I had no accessible features, but now I have an accessible kitchen where I can cook and prepare meals independently.”

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START SWIMMING LESSONS
Your baby can’t yet walk, so why should they learn to swim? For safety first and foremost. This year’s Royal Life Saving Australia National Drowning Report showed a 25 per cent decrease in drownings of children aged 0-4 on the 10-year average, which is encouraging, however we still have work to do.
One of the best things a parent can do to keep their child safer around water is to ensure they start Learn to Swim classes as soon as possible, especially with summer fast approaching, but were you aware of all of the other benefits of swimming lessons for babies?
We often have less time than we would like with our kids (it is an unfortunate effect of being so busy) but swimming provides quality bonding time. Time in the pool is one of the few times when your child has your undivided attention for the duration, so make the most of it!
Swimming can also improve a baby’s sleeping pattern. While
I’m not making any promises that swimming will make baby sleep through the night every night... I can say that the extra exercise did make my notorious night owl babies sleepier! Additionally,
swimming can improve a baby’s appetite, and in turn a full belly can further promote sleep... win win!
Swim time helps promote important muscle development
Iand control in babies at a young age. Little ones will need to develop the muscles needed to hold their heads up, move their arms and legs, and work their core in coordination with the rest of their body. As a result, swimming helps to improve coordination and balance. It’s not easy learning to move those little arms and legs together, and even small, coordinated movements represent big leaps in your baby’s development.
Being in the water engages your baby’s body in a completely unique way, creating billions of new neurons as your baby kicks, glides, and smacks at the water.
Bilateral cross-patterning movements, which use both sides of the body to carry out an action, help your baby’s brain grow. This facilitates communication, feedback, and modulation from one side of the brain to another. Down the road, this may improve reading skills, language development, academic learning and spatial awareness, as demonstrated by
t has never been harder to enter the housing market with the average household now spending 40 per cent of net income on their mortgage. This is well above what we call mortgage stress. Almost unbelievably, this isn’t even the reason first home buyers are unable to enter the market. Many young people are prepared to make repayments at this level but are unable to enter the market with the lack of a deposit being the main barrier to entry. It is becoming increasingly necessary for parents to help their children purchase their first home. There are a number of strategies that can be utilised to help get your kids on the property ladder.
a recent four-year study of more than 7,000 children by Griffith University which suggested that children who swim have advances in physical and mental development when compared to their peers who don’t swim. Swimming is also a unique social experience, which furthers its brain-boosting power.
Water baby’s classes also include elements including songs and skin-to-skin contact with parents or caregivers. Children interact with one another and the instructor and begin to learn to function in groups. These elements, plus the fun of learning a new skill, can boost your baby’s sociability and wellbeing! Don’t forget, you can get your baby prepared for swimming before you go to the pool, by using bath time at home to get your baby used to the feeling of being immersed in water and the splashing of the water on and over their faces and heads. Swim Australia recommends starting lessons from six months of age.
your home as a security on the loan in addition to the house being purchased by your child. This security acts as the deposit. We normally recommend that you establish two loans.
One for 80 per cent of the bank valuation of the property being purchased, on this loan only the new house will be listed as security. The second loan is for the remainder of the loan and will have both houses as security. If the loans are structured this way, it limits the exposure for the parents and prevents the need for mortgage insurance.

In some cases a bank will allow you to act as guarantor on a loan to help your child qualify for a loan.

This essentially means buying a property together, this is a bigger commitment. In this case, you will be responsible for making repayments and benefit from any capital growth or income from the property. I feel this works best with an investment property rather than a home your child is going to move into. In this case, I’d recommend outlining upfront the longterm plans, I would formalise exit strategies and would strongly urge you to get a formal agreement in place. All three of these options will enable you to help get your children.
JULIE SHELDRAKE
THE MYTH OF SKIPPING MEALS
In the quest for a fitter and healthier lifestyle, many individuals turn to drastic measures, with skipping meals often promoted as a quick fix for shedding unwanted weight. However, the reality behind this popular weight loss strategy may surprise you.
Contrary to popular belief, skipping meals does not guarantee sustained weight loss. While it might lead to a temporary reduction in calorie intake in some individuals, more times than not it doesn’t result in weight loss but instead builds unhealthy eating habits. Although intermittent fasting involves skipping meals and can be beneficial for weight loss, studies have demonstrated that intermittent fasting is not superior to following an overall calorie deficit across the whole day for weight loss.
One of the immediate effects of skipping meals is a drop in blood sugar levels, leading to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. This can
result in poor decision-making, particularly when it comes to food choices, as the body craves quick energy fixes from sugary or high-fat foods. This often leads to increased calorie intake from larger portion sizes at the following meal or choosing convenient, high calorie snack foods.
Skipping meals can also lead to
nutrient deficiencies, as certain essential vitamins and minerals may be lacking in the diet. This not only affects overall health but can also hinder the body’s ability to function optimally. For example, breakfast is a common meal that is skipped, which is often a meal that consists of milk, yoghurt or cheese, leading to a
missed opportunity to consume calcium, potentially compromising bone density.
Instead of resorting to extreme measures like skipping meals, a more sustainable approach to weight loss involves adopting a balanced and nutritious diet that is lower in calories, along with regular physical activity. Eating smaller, well-balanced meals throughout the day helps stabilise blood sugar levels and reduces the likelihood of overeating in one meal or grazing on snacks throughout the day. In conclusion, the idea that skipping meals is a shortcut to weight loss is a misconception that can have negative consequences. Embracing a more holistic approach that focuses on mindful eating, regular exercise, and a balanced diet is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight in the long run. Remember, a healthy lifestyle is about making informed choices that nourish your body and support your overall wellbeing.
AIRWAY CLEARANCE
IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce
The Australian solution to those hair washing blues we all face
Let’s be real – wash day is no one’s favourite day of the week. If I had endless amounts of money, I would never wash my own hair again! But, unfortunately, that isn’t the case, so in the meantime, I’ll be using St. Louis Says.
St. Louis Says is a new haircare brand created by Adrian Mezzina and Tim Persley, who own an established barber shop in Brisbane.
In creating St. Louis Says, the owners said they wanted to produce a line that’s salon quality, and provides transformative solutions at home, and I think they’ve done just that with their Volumising and Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner Duos.
The packaging of the products alone is very luxurious. It’s high quality, soft to the touch, and looks great in your
bathroom. My only note is that the bottles in each set are quite matchy, being the same shape and size, which raises some accessibility concerns. Just make sure you check which one you’re grabbing!
The first of the two sets, the Volumising Duo, aims to add strength and fullness to thin, fine hair. It uses ingredients like amaranth extract and hydrolysed rice protein to
create this bounce and body, without any nasties like parabens and SLS.
Right off the bat, I would say that the shampoo had a great lather to it. After two washes, my hair felt almost squeaky clean. And, incredibly smooth after backing it up with the conditioner.
As someone who does have quite fine hair, I do feel as though it added some volume,
and I’m excited to continue using it! However, the Moisture Repair Duo was definitely my favourite.
Like the Volumising Duo, these products are free of parabens and SLS, and are also vegan and cruelty free.
Whilst the shampoo didn’t lather as much as the Volumising version, my hair felt more hydrated. After conditioning and drying, my ends stayed feeling moistur- ised for days!
I have very dry, curly, and damaged hair, so I had high expectations, and this Duo definitely met them.
In terms of price, each bottle retails for $23, with Duos $42. They’re 350mL each, bringing it down to about $6.50 per 100mL. Comparing this to my normal shampoo and conditioner, Redken All Soft, it is about half the price.
For the higher end side of haircare, I would definitely recommend giving these a go!
HEARTWORM DISEASE
IN DOGS: A CONCERN
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition for dogs, particularly in areas with high mosquito populations. Recent cases detected in Penrith and Quakers Hill highlight the growing threat posed by this parasitic infection. For pet owners in the region, understanding the risks and prevention of heartworm disease is crucial, especially with the increase in mosquito activity following periods of rainfall.
What is heartworm disease?
Heartworm disease is caused by a parasitic worm transmitted through mosquito bites. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, it picks up tiny larvae (microfilariae), which are then passed on to another animal when the mosquito feeds again. Once inside the new host, the larvae migrate through the bloodstream and organs, taking about five to six months to mature into adult worms. These adult worms then settle in the heart, lungs, and associated blood
vessels, causing serious damage.
The mature heartworms can grow up to 30cm long and live in the body for up to seven years, producing more larvae and continuing the infection cycle.
This is especially concerning in regions like Penrith, where the proximity to the Nepean River creates an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, increasing the local heartworm prevalence.
Recognising the signs of heartworm disease
In dogs, the onset of heartworm disease is gradual, which can make early detection challeng-
ing. Early signs often include:
• Persistent, dry cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Lethargy or decreased stamina
• Loss of appetite and weight loss.
As the disease progresses, dogs may develop more severe symptoms, such as abdominal swelling due to fluid build-up and signs of heart failure. Unfortunately, without treatment, heartworm disease is almost always fatal in dogs.
Diagnosing
heartworm
A simple blood test performed by your veterinarian is the most effective way to detect heartworm infection in dogs. Regular testing is essential, especially if there has been a lapse in preventive measures. This is because some heartworm preventives can cause life-threatening reactions if adult heartworms are already present in the dog’s system.
Prevention and treatment While heartworm can be
treated, prevention is far easier and more cost-effective. Preventive treatments, available as tablets, oral chews, spot-on applications, or long-acting injections, work by killing heartworm larvae before they mature. It’s important to note that heartworm preventives must be administered year-round, even for indoor pets, as mosquitoes can easily enter homes.
If your dog has not been on consistent heartworm prevention, a vet check-up and heartworm test are crucial before starting or resuming any preventive treatment. This ensures that your pet is not already infected, which could complicate treatment. With the increase in heartworm cases in western Sydney, it’s more important than ever for pet owners to stay vigilant.
If you have concerns or need advice on heartworm prevention, contact Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital 4736 2027 for professional guidance tailored to your pet’s needs.

The fiery Full Moon ignites your spontaneous and adventurous Aquarius dare-devil side. But slow down (and calm down) otherwise you’ll put your foot in your mouth and come a cropper! With the Sun shining in Libra, try to find more balance in your relationships and more equilibrium within yourself. So your mantra for the week is from Libran actress Naomi Watts, “You have to make peace with yourself. The key is to find the harmony in what you have.”
TAURUS
Expect a topsy-turvy start to the week as Uranus opposes Venus (your power planet). Strive to manage disruptions, handle surprises and patch up problems in a patient and cooperative fashion. You’re very focused on work projects but don’t put all your eggs in the one basket. Make sure you diversify your interests, experiment with creative ideas and keep your options open. Thursday’s fiery Full Moon stirs dreams, inner compulsions and submerged secrets.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
The sparks are set to fly as the Sun/Mars square and the fiery Full Moon amp up your feisty, temperamental side. Expect some annoying frustrations and unexpected disruptions, especially involving a family matter or a work project. You’ll have to dig deep to find a quality that you usually have in short supply … patience. Monday and Thursday are the best days to push an ambitious project ahead with renewed enthusiasm and plenty of Leo passion.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
You’re keen to power ahead with a romantic relationship, a business partnership or a joint venture. But expect some disruptions as unpredictable Uranus upsets the apple cart. Don’t stress Scorpio! Review your approach and reassess your plans. Thursday’s Full Moon fires up your wellbeing zone, so it’s a good week to exercise, hit the gym, play sport, participate in a Fun Run or enjoy bushwalking. Thursday also favours communication and education.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
The Venus/Neptune trine on Tuesday and Wednesday boosts compassion, sensitivity, creativity and spirituality. Then Thursday’s fiery Full Moon activates your money zones, as you start to see your current financial situation in a revealing new light. Your motto for the moment comes from playwright (and birthday great) Arthur Miller, who was born on October 17, 1915, “Don’t be seduced into thinking that which does not make a profit is without value.”
GEMINI
This week the Full Moon focus is on friendships. How to nurture them, keep them … and let them go if you have outgrown each other. You’ll find mutual interests are essential to long-term platonic relationships. With Jupiter jumping through your sign (which only happens every 12 years) it’s also time to boldly, confidently, unashamedly be the glorious Gemini you were born to be. As birthday great Oscar Wilde reminds us, “Be yourself; everyone else is taken.”
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
You’ll feel more confident this week as the Sun/Jupiter trine boosts a sense of wellbeing and security, especially at work. But resist the urge to judge or criticise others. Remember – you don’t have all the facts at hand and appearances can be deceptive. As birthday great Oscar Wilde reminds us, “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” Thursday’s fiery Full Moon shines a bright spotlight on trust issues and long-forgotten secrets.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Jupiter (your power planet) trines the Sun on Monday, which is particularly good for romance, friendships, joint ventures, writing, teaching, travel, publishing and public relations. Throw in a fiery Full Moon on Thursday and you’re set for a stimulating, actionpacked week! If you want to last the distance, pace yourself. And with Venus sliding into your sign on Friday, you’re set for a social weekend where you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters.
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
There’s a combustible Sun/Mars connection on Monday so resist the urge for hot-headed arguing and feisty foot stamping. It’s a terrific time to travel, teach, publish, study, nurture a close relationship, learn something new or share an adventure with someone special. Then there’s a fiery Full Moon in Aries on Thursday, so do your best to get the ratio right between personal needs and relationship responsibilities. The buzz word for the week is Balance.
On Monday a domestic matter gets a welcome boost from the Sun/Jupiter trine. But your personal preferences could clash with a family member who wants to take a different approach. Courtesy of the Full Moon, it’s a good week to increase your public profile, complete a professional project, give a speech, launch a website or start a social media campaign. But don’t underestimate the hard work and patience it will take to keep the wheels of progress turning.
Unpredictable Uranus is disrupting relationships and/or finances. So tread gingerly with a sulky partner, an unreliable lover, a grumpy house mate, a frustrated family member or a cranky client. You’ll find the more diplomatic you are, the less stressful the week will be. Don’t let other people deter your ambitions or derail your dreams! Be inspired by Libran actor and disability rights activist Christopher Reeve, “Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Don’t sell out.”
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
The Sun and Jupiter activate your career zone which boosts ambition, confidence, good luck and your ability to lead others. But don’t focus on work at the expense of your home and family life. The Full Moon highlights the importance of getting the balance right between professional success and domestic harmony. On the weekend, Venus encourages you to slow down as you indulge in some relaxing yoga, calming meditation or quiet contemplation.
Relax & Unwind CROWNE PLAZA OFFERS
With its picturesque beach, beautiful boutique stores, and endless dining options, it’s no surprise that Terrigal is just as popular with Central Coast locals as it is with tourists.
But, thanks to a recent development at Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific, your next trip is set to get a luxurious upgrade.
In July this year, Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific launched its signature Pacific Club experience, enabling guests to select from a range of premium ocean-view suites with deluxe benefits including valet parking, a personal concierge, exclusive daily cocktail hours, and private local transfers to see everything the area has to offer.
As the weather warmed up, it felt like the perfect time to put this to the test.
After starting off our stay by taking advantage of the included valet parking, we walked into Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific and immediately felt a wave of indulgence. The building is quite grand, though classy, and has well and truly made its mark on the foreshore.
And, this only continued into our room.
As part of our stay, we made ourselves at home in the new Pacific Suite, recently refurbished by Coco Republic.
The room itself is stunning. It boasts ample space, with a separate entryway, living and dining area, and king bedroom. It also has a beautiful bathroom with a freestanding bath, and a private wraparound balcony providing views of both the pool and the ocean.
As part of the Pacific Club experience, guests are offered priority dining reservations, including at the fabulous restaurants inside and connected to the hotel itself.
If you’re looking to replicate this feeling of extravagance, make a booking at the new Meribella restaurant and bar, led by Michelin-star Head Chef Joshua Mason.
The restaurant itself is gorgeous and bathed in sunlight, when the weather allows. Here, we were treated to their five-course tasting menu with matching wines. Each meal and pairing were just as delicious as the last – especially the heirloom beetroot, kohlrabi and goat’s curd salad, which was to die for.
Meribella is also home to your daily cocktail hour, if you’re keen for a drink or two before dinner.
Or, if you’re after something more casual, head downstairs to Terrigal Beach House for a hearty seafood platter, served alongside unmatched ocean views.
But, if you don’t want to leave the room at all, that’s also an option, with a full menu available to be delivered straight to your door,
Terrigal Beach House.

LUXURY TO SAVOUR AT TERRIGAL
at almost all hours of the day.
Of course, location is also key to your stay at Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific, with a host of things to do and see just a short walk or drive away.
If you’re looking to stay close, I highly recommend going for a walk along the shoreline, discovering a host of boutique stores and cafés, or perhaps even paying a visit to the iconic Skillion for incredible views of the coastline.
“CROWNE PLAZA TERRIGAL PACIFIC MAKES FOR A PERFECT HOME BASE”
But, for a more unique experience, take a short drive or organise a transfer to Firescreek Botanical Winery in Holgate for a chocolate and wine tasting. Unlike any wine tasting I’ve done before, this one comes with exquisite hand-made chocolates from Luka Chocolates, and features wines that are true to their notes, with flavours of berries, chilli and even coffee.
If you’re looking for a luxurious weekend getaway where you won’t have to lift a finger, Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific makes for a perfect home base.
Experience the thrill of coming face to face with the
King of beasts!
