🏡 Looking for a welcoming home-away-from-home?

Designed to support people with disabilities while providing carers and families a well-deserved break, Melissa Court is a purpose-built respite home. Participants staying at Melissa Court can access community activities, life skills development, one-to-one support and personalised experiences in a fully accessible environment.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day!

Today was a great excuse to take a quick break and catch up with the team at Amicus Community Services. It's always nice to take a moment to connect with colleagues. After all, a little treat is the perfect way to end the week 😊

From left to right we have Jonathan, Dallas and Zara enjoying their top picks.

Did you treat yourself today? 🍩

Wait… Ally’s doing WHAT?! 😳⛰️

Our very own Ally Carroll is heading to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the St Jude’s Kili Trek 2026 ❤️🥾

Yep, 12 days, visiting school campuses then taking on 5,895 metres to Uhuru Peak (the highest point in Africa… no big deal 😅)

St Jude’s is helping break the cycle of poverty through education by supporting 1,800 students and hundreds of graduates to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Ally will spend time with the students before the climb, seeing exactly where the funds go.
Honestly… we’re equal parts proud and slightly mind-blown.

Kokoda wasn’t enough apparently, now she’s adding altitude to the mix! 😮‍💨

Amicus and Lifely participant Mario didn’t just attend our Stand Up for Inclusion comedy night, he volunteered by welcoming people at the door, collecting gold coin donations and setting the tone for the night.

Today, he kept that going. Mario joined our team member, Steph, at Bendigo Foodshare to hand over the donations raised, alongside Foodshare crew, Bridgette, Annie and Meg.

For the community, this donation goes a small way to support locals doing it tough by helping the charity buy more long-life food.

For Mario, volunteering and helping raise funds is about getting involved, building his skills and confidence, and being part of something bigger.

And that’s what community looks like. Simple things. Real impact
