Newsletters
Issue 26 of the NAC Newsletter is now available!
Merry Christmas! Issue 26 of the NAC Newsletter reflects on a meaningful 2025, thanking clients and families for their ongoing trust and highlighting the community connection that shaped the year. It invites everyone to the upcoming Afternoon Tea on 3rd December 2025.
We begin with updates from clients, including Graham’s role in developing Coles’ reusable Go-Green bags and Ian’s seasonal joy in the blossoming of his ornamental pear trees.
A key focus is NAC’s upcoming involvement in the ELDAC program beginning in 2026, which will train all staff in palliative and end-of-life care to better support clients who wish to remain at home. The newsletter also outlines bushfire safety planning for summer, improvements such as the installation of an office doorbell for accessibility, and the revised holiday office hours.
The issue rounds out with festive touches, including a CWA Christmas cake recipe, a puzzle page, and warm Christmas and New Year wishes from the NAC team as they look forward to another year of care, support and community.

Issue 22 of the NAC Newsletter is now available!
Issue 22 of the NAC newsletter marks significant farewells, with beloved GP Dr. Alison Bailey retiring after more than 20 years of service in the Macedon Ranges. Though retired, she will continue on a casual basis. Nurse Kerrie also retired, just short of her 10-year anniversary, having been a valued member of the residential and home care teams.
Home Care client Rueben is featured for his unique woodwork talent, discovered by chance over 40 years ago. His beautifully restored wood pieces have been shared with friends, family, and even the NAC office.
This newsletter emphasizes the importance of client feedback. The Client Advisory Group (CAG) encourages all clients to speak up - whether to share concerns or suggestions. NAC also welcomes new members to join the group to help shape care and services.
A reminder that the NAC Afternoon Tea is scheduled for May 14, 2025, offering a chance for community members to connect. The Afternoon Tea will be held at the NAC office: 63 Urquhart Street, Woodend VIC 3442.
