In many aged-care and community settings, the simple act of showering can reveal how challenging daily routines become when a resident’s body can no longer provide the stability it once did. For Irene, 86, living with advanced frailty and Parkinson’s disease, this was her daily reality. During showering, she struggled to stay upright as her posture folded forward and her truncal endurance faded. She would often slide forward in her chair, requiring two carers to keep her safe. Early non-blanching erythema began to appear, signalling growing concern for her skin integrity. What should have been a moment of comfort gradually became physically taxing for staff and increasingly distressing for Irene.

Art has the power to connect, communicate and inspire — it’s where ideas become tangible and individuality takes centre stage. For many artists with disability, that connection begins with access: the ability to move freely, use tools comfortably, and take part fully in creative spaces.

Every October, communities across Australia come together to celebrate Occupational Therapy (OT) Week, and in 2025 the theme is Occupational Therapy in Action. Running from 27 October – 2 November, this year’s campaign highlights the vital role Occupational Therapists play in helping people of all ages live meaningful, independent, and fulfilling lives.

Occupational Therapy Australia (OT Australia) is the peak professional organisation representing Occupational Therapists across the country. They play a vital role in supporting the profession through advocacy, education, professional development, and resources that empower Occupational Therapists to deliver the highest standards of care. By championing the profession, OT Australia ensures that OTs remain at the forefront of healthcare innovation and client support nationwide.

In the quiet hours of aged care homes across Australia, there’s a hidden burden many residents carry—one that causes pain, limits mobility, and can linger far too long. Pressure injuries, also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores, are among the most avoidable yet persistent complications in healthcare. For older people, particularly those with limited mobility, these injuries don’t just break down skin integrity—they break down dignity, comfort and confidence.

At Crescent Healthcare, we believe that compassionate care begins with prevention. Every year, thousands of Australians suffer from pressure injuries—wounds that are painful, costly, and, in many cases, avoidable. Affecting around 13% of overnight hospital patients in Australia(1), these injuries extend hospital stays, burden caregivers, and reduce quality of life at a time when individuals deserve safety, healing and dignity.
