Today, 1 October, we recognise International Day of Older Persons.

This year’s theme, The Age of Longevity, reminds us that living longer is something to value. It also asks us to think about how people can enjoy longer lives with dignity, wellbeing, security and choice.

Older people bring knowledge, experience and perspective to our families, workplaces and communities. Their stories help shape who we are. Their relationships strengthen our sense of belonging. Their contributions continue in many ways, every day.

At MiCare, we believe every person deserves to be seen, heard and valued. Growing older should never lessen a person’s right to make decisions, stay connected or live life on their own terms. Care and support should reflect the whole person — including their culture, spirituality, language, identity and life experience.

Today is also a chance to recognise the human connections that make longer lives meaningful. A familiar conversation, a shared meal, a choice respected or a story heard can help someone feel understood and included.

On International Day of Older Persons, we celebrate the older people among our employees, clients, residents, families and communities. We honour every individual and the rich diversity of their lives. We hope the day brings moments of connection, respect and appreciation for the people and stories that continue to enrich our world. #

Honouring a Legacy of Service and Warmth: A Tribute to Henk Mollee:
Henk Mollee devoted over 30 years of exceptional service to Prins Willem Alexander Village (PWA) and MiCare, leaving an indelible mark on the Dutch community in Australia. As Chairperson of the Netherlands Retirement Village Association of Queensland for two decades and later a Community Advisory Council member, Henk guided PWA’s growth from a modest complex into a thriving sanctuary with 75 units and 184 aged care places. Beyond his visionary leadership, Henk was revered as a big-hearted, kind, and patient listener who gave everyone his full time and attention. He faced life’s challenges with a cheerful spirit and was remembered by staff, residents, and board members alike as a genuinely welcoming and deeply compassionate leader.

Together with his late wife, Ina, Henk created a legacy of generous hospitality, opening their home with warmth, good conversation, and care. Thousands of individuals enjoy a better quality of life in their later years because of Henk's steadfast dedication and heart for service. As we stand on the shoulders of his enduring leadership, Henk’s contributions, friendship, and profound impact will be remembered with the utmost gratitude, respect, and affection by all whose lives he touched.

Today we recognise World Alzheimer Day and the people, families and carers affected by dementia. It is a reminder that every person has a story worth hearing, and that memory loss never changes a person’s value, dignity or right to be understood. Across MiCare, we see the importance of patience, respect and human connection in the small moments of each day. To our employees, clients, residents, families and volunteers, we wish you a gentle and meaningful day. May it be filled with care, understanding and moments of connection.

Today is R U OK? Day 2026, but the message is bigger than one day: Ask R U OK? Any Day.

If a colleague is on your mind, check in.
Ask with care. Listen without judgement.
Encourage support if it is needed.
Check in again later.

At MiCare, every person deserves to feel seen, heard and valued. Your story matters. So does the person beside you. 💛

MiCare's very own frozen meal service, MiMeals, held free tasting sessions of the new menu at their offices in Kilsyth and Carrum Downs. Joining us for the experience were residents, families and staff. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and attendees were eager to learn more from Chef Binu about the dishes on offer and how to register for MiMeals.

Today we are celebrating our MiCare Employee Appreciation Day.

At MiCare, our Mission is to enable people from diverse communities to have dignified and meaningful lives. We can only do this with the help of our wonderful team.

To every member of the MiCare team, thank you for what you do. You listen, support, encourage, comfort and show up with kindness every day: what you do really matters. You make a real difference in the lives of the people you support, and your care deserves to be seen, valued and celebrated.

More than 60 community members, leaders, partner organisations and stakeholders recently came together to celebrate the graduation of participants from MiCare's Knowledge, Voice, Action: Multicultural Women Against Racism Program and the launch of a new multilingual anti-racism awareness resource. Representatives from the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), which funded the initiative through the Local Anti-Racism Initiatives Program, and Victoria University, a key partner, joined the celebration alongside the women whose ideas, experiences and leadership shaped the project.

The event celebrated the completion of the Multicultural Women Against Racism Program, co-designed with participants and the Multicultural Women's Leadership Network to reflect their priorities and experiences.

Across six interactive workshops, participants explored various forms of racism, legal rights, response strategies, and Victorian support services. Building on these sessions, participants collaborated with MiCare and Cúpla Studio to create an anti-racism poster translated into 13 languages with accompanying audio, making crucial support information accessible across Victoria.

The graduation highlighted personal growth, emerging leadership, and strong community connections. By partnering directly with community members to design both the curriculum and resources, MiCare Migrant Services demonstrated the lasting impact of culturally relevant, community-led capacity building.

MiCare and National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week 2026, held this year from 27 May to 3 June, is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

National Reconciliation Week is to learn about shared histories, cultures, and achievements to foster reconciliation. This year the theme is “All in: Taking action for reconciliation”, with a strong focus on meaningful and committed action toward reconciliation.

MiCare encourages everyone to get involved in this year’s National Reconciliation Week. A list of events can be found at Reconciliation Australia website. You can also get involved by learning more about the history and significance of National Reconciliation Week or watching a film or series relating to this year’s “all in” theme on SBS.

MiCare is in the process of developing its first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to formally commence its reconciliation journey. The RAP will provide a structured framework to strengthen relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, increase cultural awareness across the organisation and embed reconciliation principles into MiCare operations and culture.

The Reflect RAP focuses on learning, reflecting, and building internal capacity, laying the foundation for future RAPs. Through this plan, MiCare will demonstrate leadership and social responsibility, foster culturally safe practices, and established measurable, sustainable actions to contribute meaningfully to reconciliation.

MiCare recognises our shared histories, cultures, and achievements. We thrive, grow, and understand ourselves more deeply when we connect with others. We aim to re-place isolation and surface-level interactions with empathy, courage, and real community. Because when we show up for each other, we strengthen wellbeing, create belonging, and bring our shared humanity to life. Find out more at MiCare.com.au.
