Last week, our growth and marketing teams got together in Canberra for a few of our favourite things: big conversations about what’s next, proper time to learn from each other and a bit of friendly axe throwing to keep everyone on their toes.

There’s something about stepping away from the desk that brings a team closer, especially when you discover who the secret ninjas are! We came away with fresh plans, stronger connections and a few bragging rights that are still up for debate.

Craig, Ruth, Jessica and Andrew walked over 160km as a team around the Australian War Memorial on Friday evening, taking part in the Bravery Trust Dusk till Dawn overnight challenge!

The Aspen Medical Dusk till Dawn team raised nearly $8,000 for Bravery Trust, and are still pushing through their sore legs to complete the Bravery Trek throughout the month of October and continue raising funds!

The 12-hour Dusk till Dawn challenge brought together hundreds of volunteers at one of Australia’s most significant places of remembrance, with funds raised helping to provide immediate financial assistance, veteran-specific financial counselling and education, for veterans and families.

This October, our team is clocking up kilometres for veterans!

We're taking part in Bravery Trek to raise money for Bravery Trust, which supports current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families through financial hardship.

Veterans are part of who we are at Aspen Medical. Throughout October, our team is walking 120 km or 240 km in the virtual challenge, and on 16 October our Canberra team will also take part in the Dusk till Dawn overnight relay at the Australian War Memorial.

What does meaningful disability inclusion look like in practice?

Aspen Medical Disability Inclusion Lead Ben Clare recently joined Radio 1RPH's "Disability Reform – Towards a More Inclusive Society" podcast to discuss disability inclusion, the importance of lived experience, and his work supporting people with disability across Australia and the Pacific.

Ben also shares some fascinating stories from a career that has taken him from journalism to international development and disability advocacy.

This R U OK? Day, we’re reminded that we don’t need to have all the answers. Taking the time to ask, listen without judgement and genuinely be there for someone can make a real difference.

And it shouldn’t be something we think about just once a year.

If someone’s on your mind, trust your instinct and start the conversation.

Ask R U OK? Any Day. 💛

Opportunity can change a life. And it can help change healthcare.

The Aspen Medical Foundation believes people living with disability should have the opportunity to pursue their ambitions, develop their talents and contribute their skills to their communities.

That’s why we’re proud to open applications for the 2027 Aspen Medical Foundation Fiji Disability Scholarship – supporting a Fijian person living with disability to pursue a health-related university qualification and build a future in Fiji’s health sector. 🎓

Aspen Medical Disability Inclusion Lead Ben Clare, who launched the scholarship last week in Fiji, said the scholarship reflected the Foundation’s commitment to creating greater opportunity and inclusion.

“People living with disability have an enormous contribution to make to healthcare. This scholarship is about helping remove some of the barriers to education and giving someone the opportunity to build a career where they can make a real difference to their community,” he said.

Let’s remove barriers, create opportunities and help build a more inclusive healthcare workforce.

What started as a goal to provide one new Brailler became two, thanks to the generosity of our global Aspen Medical team.

Our Disability Inclusion Lead, Ben Clare, has presented the new Braillers to Lautoka School for Special Education in Fiji's Western District where we manage Lautoka and Ba public hospitals. This latest donation brings the total number donated by the Aspen Medical Foundation to the school to three.

The machines will support five visually impaired students, giving them greater access to braille and the opportunities that come with literacy, learning and independence.

Aspen Medical was delighted to match the team's fundraising efforts.

A huge thank you to everyone across Aspen Medical who donated! 🙏

What happens when world-class cardiac care is available closer to home?

For hundreds of people across Fiji's Western Division, it means faster access to specialist treatment, better outcomes and less need to travel overseas.

The Public-Private Partnership between the Fiji Government and Aspen Medical is continuing to strengthen cardiac care at Lautoka Hospital by delivering advanced specialist services where they're needed most.

To date, the partnership has delivered:

❤️ 1,000+ cath lab procedures

🩺 796 coronary angiograms

🏥 417 open heart surgeries

🫀 134 life-saving interventions to open blocked arteries

🌴 more patients receiving care in Fiji instead of travelling overseas

🌏 local clinical capability built to international standards.

These milestones represent far more than numbers. They reflect lives changed, stronger local healthcare capability and better access to specialist cardiac services for the people of Fiji.

Together, we're continuing to invest in people, infrastructure and innovation to help build a healthier future for Fiji and the wider Pacific
