22.01.2022 At the end of last year, Kaileb enjoyed a three day holiday at the sunny Gold Coast. After working hard to achieve his goals, his mother organised the trip with Magenta support worker, Matt and Will from Carbal as a reward. As you can see, the holiday was packed with sightseeing!

Please find an update below regarding the delivery of Magenta services. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch with your Team Leader or Area Manager. We are continuing to provide all services at this time. All staff will be using masks when working and increased sanitation measures in place....

Medical-related STAs will continue. Community access activities outside of Greater Brisbane will continue, in a COVID-safe manner, avoiding locations where social distancing cannot be maintained. All visitors to our supported independent living homes must wear a mask and complete the visitor register. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
