Silverchain

National Reconciliation Week is a time for learning, reflection, and meaningful action. This year’s theme, ‘All In’, calls on every one of us to actively contribute to reconciliation in our daily work and lives.

At Silverchain, being 'All In' means committing to truth-telling, listening deeply to First Nations peoples’ stories and perspectives, standing against racism, supporting First Nations businesses and culture, and using our voice to advocate for positive change in the communities we serve.

As we reflect on our reconciliation journey, we acknowledge the progress we have made and the work that still lies ahead. Some change takes generations, while other steps can be taken today. What matters most is that we move forward together, with everyone involved.

Storm and Cooper visited our Everglades Social Centre this week, and they brought enough cuddles to brighten everyone’s day. Massive shout‑out to Jenny and the team for making this tail‑wagging therapy session happen. Our clients loved every minute.

After a fall left Sunshine Coast resident Michael paralysed from the neck down, months of rehab and support from his Silverchain Care Team and Michelle, his dedicated carer, helped him regain mobility and independence.

Determined and positive, he faces each day with resilience and a smile.

Ahead of ANZAC Day, we honour a legacy of leadership and community care.

Dr Henry Arthur Powell served on the frontlines of World War I before continuing his service as President of the District Trained Nursing Society - now part of Silverchain.

Through times of hardship, he remained a strong advocate for nurses and a committed leader in community-based care.

His legacy continues to shape how we deliver care today.

Lest we forget.
