The return of the Hunter Disability Trust Band was a welcome occasion for all involved. It highlighted the joy that music can bring and reinforced the importance of creating opportunities for people to come together, express themselves, and celebrate their abilities.
Attendees were treated to a diverse playlist of their own song requests spanning several decades and genres. From the timeless hits of the Bee Gees to songs inspired by Grease, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The dance floor quickly came alive as familiar tunes encouraged people to get up, move, and share in the fun. No music event would be complete without a few crowd favourites, and the Macarena proved just as popular as ever. Participants enthusiastically joined in, creating plenty of smiles and laughter.
The event showcased not only musical talent but also the power of inclusion and connection. Whether playing an instrument, singing along, dancing with friends, or simply enjoying the performances, everyone had the opportunity to participate in their own way.
With such a successful return, there is already excitement building for the next band meet and the chance to once again share the magic of music, friendship, and community.

Today, our Hunter Office proudly took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, coming together to raise funds and awareness for those impacted by cancer — a cause that is close to so many of our hearts. 💛

Thanks to the incredible generosity, team spirit, and baking talents of our staff, we raised a fantastic $75.60 for cancer research and support services. Every contribution, big or small, helps make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by cancer.

A special congratulations goes to this year’s Bake Off Champion, our very own Team Leader Jayden, who truly “took the cake” with his winning creation! 🍰🏆
