🍪 MasterChef Goes Maltese! ❤️🤍

Luke, Stefan, Acacia, Emilia and Aaron put their cooking skills to the test in today’s MasterChef session, making traditional Maltese Ottijiet biscuits.

The group explored a range of new flavours, including clove, aniseed and orange, with some participants trying these ingredients for the very first time. The kitchen was filled with the wonderful aroma of spices and citrus as everyone mixed, shaped and baked their biscuits.

Participants enjoyed learning a new recipe and carefully shaping the dough into the traditional figure-eight design. Programs like MasterChef provide a great opportunity to build confidence, develop cooking and life skills, encourage creativity, and foster social connections in a fun and supportive environment. 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

✨ A delicious day of learning, teamwork and trying something new, with plenty of biscuits to take home and enjoy with a cup of tea!

🌿🚶‍♂️ Enjoying the Great Outdoors 🚂

A walk along the Avondale Heights walking track was the perfect way to stay active and enjoy the community. 🌞

Mark was delighted by the beautiful surroundings, saying, "Wow, what a nice walk!" His excitement grew even more when a freight train crossed the bridge overhead. 🚂✨

NDIS supports can help people build healthy lifestyles, increase community participation, and enjoy activities that promote fitness and wellbeing. This outing was a wonderful combination of exercise, fresh air, and exploring the local community while enjoying moments of genuine joy and discovery. 💚😊💚

🌾 A Great Day at the Elmore Field Days! 🚜🎨

David, Cherie and Paul from our Extended Hours program in Bendigo enjoyed a fantastic day out at the Elmore Field Days.

The Elmore Field Days is one of regional Victoria’s largest agricultural events, bringing together farming innovations, machinery displays, local businesses, community groups, entertainment and hands-on activities. It provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with the broader community, learn about rural industries and experience something new.

The group had a great time getting involved in activities including gold panning and face painting, while also exploring the many displays and exhibits on offer throughout the day. There was plenty to see, do and discover, making it an enjoyable and engaging experience for everyone.

Experiences like these support NDIS outcomes by encouraging social and community participation, building confidence, developing new interests and helping participants stay connected to their local community. 😊🌟

At DO, we’re driven by a simple but powerful belief:

💙 Everyone thrives, belongs and participates meaningfully in their community.

Catching up with Josh was a great opportunity to share what’s happening at DO and continue building strong community connections, networks and partnerships that create opportunities for the people we support.

Thanks for stopping by again, Josh! We always appreciate the opportunity to connect, share ideas and talk about what’s happening in our community. ☕😊

✨ MasterChef Goes Italian! 🍰

James, Sienna, Emily and Charlotte from Distinctive Options Sunbury's MasterChef program took a delicious trip to Italy today!

The group worked together to create a classic Italian tiramisu, brewing rich coffee and layering it with creamy mascarpone, delicate biscuits and a dusting of cocoa. ☕🍫 They also made a decadent chocolate mousse completely from scratch.

With plenty of chocolate, coffee and Italian-inspired flavours, everyone enjoyed getting creative in the kitchen. The best part? Tasting their delicious creations at the end! 🍰✨👏

What an incredible first day for The Do Food Truck at 24 Macedon St! ❤️
