Vive la France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ₯

Meet Donna, one of our HappiHive entertainers, going full Marie Antoinette for Bastille Day celebrations. Complete with a pink powdered wig, a gown fit for the palace of Versailles, and enough theatrical flair to make any resident's day.

This is what we mean when we say engagement isn't one-size-fits-all - it's costumes, characters, culture and a whole lot of fun, bringing history and imagination to life in the room.

Bon Bastille Day to all our residents who joined the celebrations.

There's a reason a familiar song can light someone up even when so much else feels unfamiliar 🎢

Music has a way of staying with us long after the last note - reaching memories, emotions and moments of connection that words alone can't always find. For the people we sing, dance and connect with in aged care, that feeling of joy, comfort or recognition can linger long after we've packed up and gone.

That's the whole reason we do what we do 🐝

HappiHive sessions aren't just about music and movement - they're about whatever joy shows up in the moment, and today it showed up as push-ups.

Age is just a number. Attitude? Now that's ageless. 🐝

COMPLIANCE MATTERS TO US πŸ’›πŸ

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes when you book a HappiHive Hero.

You see the music, movement, laughter and connection.

Behind that, we’re making sure we’re doing things properly too.

HappiHive is set up to pay Superannuation for our entertainers and instructors in accordance with applicable ATO requirements.

And for aged care providers, this is important.

DID YOU KNOW?

If your organisation engages an entertainer or instructor directly as a contractor, you may still have an obligation to pay their Superannuation, depending on the nature of the arrangement and the ATO's contractor super rules.

Having an ABN, submitting an invoice or being described as an "independent contractor" doesn't automatically remove an organisation's potential Superannuation obligations.

It’s one of those behind-the-scenes compliance responsibilities that can easily be overlooked.

When you book your entertainment, movement and engagement services through HappiHive, we manage our HappiHive Heroes, including our applicable Superannuation obligations.

That means:

πŸ’› Less administration for your team
πŸ’› One less compliance responsibility to navigate
πŸ’› Professional entertainers and instructors who are properly supported
πŸ’› One agency managing your engagement services
πŸ’› More time for your team to focus on your residents

We believe being a professional aged care engagement agency means more than simply finding someone to turn up and run an activity.

It means having the systems, processes and responsibilities behind that person taken care of too.

We look after our Heroes, so they can focus on creating incredible experiences for your residents.

Because compliance matters.

Our people matter.

And the older people we are privileged to work with matter.

Real connection. Genuine care. The HappiHive way. πŸ’›πŸ

Many of the people we work with will not remember us.

Not by the afternoon, and for some of them not by the following week.

They can’t give us a review or referral or rave about us to their friends and family.

Working in aged care, providing entertainment and activities, gives you a different perspective on how we treat each other, especially those with dementia.

There’s so much the sector measures wrong, instead of measuring how we enter the world of those who are losing theirs.
90,000 interactions in and I still can't get over how much of this work happens where nobody is looking.

So, it is nice to be seen for the work HappiHive does with three Silver Stevies and a Bronze in the 2026 International Business Awards.

Last month we paused the music (just for a minute) to celebrate the woman who started it all - happy birthday Emma πŸŽ‚πŸ

Emma built HappiHive from a simple idea: that connection, joy and a good singalong should never stop just because life gets harder. Every session, every smile, every "just one more song" moment - that's Emma's heart in action.

We hope you had the best day Emma πŸ’
