25.01.2022 I am in awe of the fantastic achievement of Daisy staff, some shown below in these photos, who, as well as doing what we need to for COVID-19, got our virtual classrooms, including processes up and running within a week.

24.01.2022 Bread Tags for Wheelchairs! Daisy Learning have become an official collection point for this great charity. Bread Tags for Wheelchairs was started by Mary Honeybun, a retired nurse, in 2006. She came up with the idea of recycling plastic to buy wheelchairs for disadvantaged people in South Africa, having donated 800 wheelchairs to date. A national collection point was created in Australia in 2018 and thousands of kilos of plastic have since been recycled. ... We will be one of just four collections points on the Sunshine Coast so please feel free to collect up your bread tags and pop them in to our Office whenever you are passing! For more information check out their website: https://ozbreadtagsforwheelchairs.org.au/

20.01.2022 Friday 7th August is Aged Care Employee Day 2020 #ThanksforCaring is the theme for 2020 with the call going out to every community across the nation to honour aged care workers and volunteers and say thanks for caring On this day we celebrate the pinnacle of caring that we see each and every day, said Leading Age Services Australia CEO Sean Rooney.... Despite some sad losses and testing times, there is no doubt the commitment of our nations tireless aged care staff has helped save many lives this year. Some may be called superheroes, some are quiet achievers, but everyone in our industry contributes to care. We salute them because they all play vital roles from nurses, personal care workers and allied health professionals, to chefs, cleaners, gardeners, managers and volunteers. In the face of the COVID-19 challenges, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet have backed the extraordinary work of age care, especially Health Minister Greg Hunt, who said the nation owed a debt of gratitude to staff for their dedication and courage. ACED 2020 honours the more than 365,000 passionate and professional individuals, who dedicate their careers to caring for and supporting around 1.3 million older Australians. Our elders are our most vulnerable, particularly during this time, Mr Rooney said. It is our workers dedication and consideration, in what are sometimes challenging but also very rewarding roles, that makes a huge difference in their lives. Everyone from Daisy learning would like to say a big THANK YOU to each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication! Prominent Australians are also contributing, with a special congratulatory video presentation available for distribution around the country for Aged Care Employee Day events. On the 7th of August and in the lead up, were urging everyone across the nation to reach out to the people they know who work in aged care and say thanks for caring, said Mr Rooney. Thank you for a job well done, thank you for the role you play, thank you for your consideration and compassion. Aged Care Employee Day is an official day, registered with awarenessdays.com and is proudly led and co-ordinated by LASA. The ACED 2020 website is at http://www.agedcareday.com.au/ About Leading Age Services Australia (LASA) LASA is the national association for all providers of age services across residential care, home care and retirement living/seniors housing. Our purpose is to enable high performing, respected, and sustainable age services that support older Australians to age well by providing care, support and accommodation with quality, safety and compassion always.
