A Behind-the-Scenes Look at NSW Ambulance! 🚑

Our mixed group of clients and staff recently had the exciting opportunity to visit Blacktown Ambulance Station as part of NSW Ambulance's Ambulance Appreciation Day celebrations.

From exploring the station to learning about emergency response and ambulance operations, participants enjoyed a hands-on experience filled with learning, discovery and fun. It was a fantastic chance to connect with local paramedics, ask questions, and gain a greater appreciation for the vital work they do in our community.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and connected with us at the Blacktown City Ageing Symposium last week!

It was wonderful to meet so many community members, share information about SydWest's aged care services, and answer questions about the supports available to help people live well as they age.

The symposium also provided a valuable opportunity to network with local organisations and service providers, helping us strengthen partnerships that benefit our community.

Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success. We look forward to continuing these conversations and connections.
