🌸 Women’s Health Week | Do it anyway

This Women’s Health Week, we’re celebrating the small steps women take to look after their health - whatever that looks like for them.

Sometimes it’s making that appointment you’ve been putting off.
Sometimes it’s asking for help.
Sometimes it’s finding a new way to move, connect, participate or manage everyday life.

For women living with disability or complex health needs, the path to better health can look a little different. The right support can help build confidence, independence and participation in the things that matter most.

At Coast Rehab, we’re proud to support women to work towards their goals - at their pace, in their way. 💙

You don’t have to do everything.
You just have to take the next step.

💛 R U OK? Day 💛

Sometimes the people around us are carrying more than we realise.

A busy week. A difficult season. Something happening at home. Or maybe they’re simply not quite themselves.

R U OK? Day is a reminder to slow down, check in with the people we care about and, most importantly, take the time to listen to the answer.

It doesn’t have to be a big conversation. Sometimes it’s a coffee, a walk, a message, or simply asking twice when you sense something isn’t quite right.

At Coast Rehab, we know how important connection is, not just for the people we support, but for each other too.

So this Thursday, check in with someone.

Ask the question. Listen to the answer. Keep the conversation going. 💛

And remember, you don't need to wait for R U OK? Day to ask.

World Physiotherapy Day 🦿💪

Today we’re celebrating physiotherapy - and the three brilliant physios who are part of the Coast Rehab team.

Sally, our Physio Team Leader, and Merryn and Lauren bring a huge amount of knowledge, experience and care to the people we support.

Working in complex neurological rehabilitation, their role goes far beyond exercises and movement. They help people build confidence, maintain independence, work towards the things that matter to them and navigate what can sometimes be a very different way of living.

What we particularly love about our physio team is the combination of clinical expertise, problem-solving and genuine human connection they bring to their work every day.

So today, we’re saying a very big thank you to Sally, Merryn and Lauren - and to physiotherapists everywhere who help people move, participate and live life on their own terms. 💙

Happy World Physiotherapy Day! 🦵💪

World Spinal Cord Injury Day | 5 September

We’re a few days late, but we didn’t want to let World Spinal Cord Injury Day pass without acknowledging it.

This year’s theme, “From Awareness to Action,” marks 10 years of global efforts to improve spinal cord injury prevention and care.

At Coast Rehab, we see every day that spinal cord injury is about so much more than a diagnosis. It can affect movement, independence, participation, work, relationships and the everyday things that make up a life.

Rehabilitation is about supporting people to navigate those changes, build confidence, pursue their goals and, wherever possible, have greater choice and independence in how they live their lives.

Today, we recognise the people living with spinal cord injury, their families and support networks, and the clinicians, researchers and organisations working to improve outcomes and create a more accessible and inclusive world.

Awareness matters. Action matters more. 💙

A very overdue digital welcome to Merryn! 💙

Merryn joined the Coast Rehab team back in January, and while she’s been very much part of the team for the past few months, we’re only just getting around to giving her the proper social media introduction she deserves!

Merryn is a Physiotherapist with a strong passion for neurological rehabilitation and supporting people through complex recovery journeys.

Her clinical experience has spanned aged care and the public health system, including surgical, orthopaedic, respiratory, intensive care, stroke rehabilitation and community settings.

She later worked with one of Sydney’s largest private neurological rehabilitation providers, where she developed advanced skills in neurological rehabilitation alongside experienced clinicians and mentors.

What we particularly love about Merryn’s approach is her focus on what matters to each person - developing personalised, goal-focused therapy and working closely with clients, families and other professionals to make therapy meaningful in everyday life.

She’s also a big believer in continuing to learn, challenge her thinking and bring current evidence into her practice.

Outside of Coast Rehab, Merryn can usually be found swimming at the beach, running, practising yoga or exploring the Central Coast with her husband and their much-loved Labrador. 🐾🌊

Merryn, we’re very glad you’re part of the Coast Rehab team — even if our digital welcome is several months late! 💙

We’re excited to officially welcome Tim to the Coast Rehab team!

Tim is a qualified Occupational Therapist and brings more than four years of community OT experience supporting NDIS participants across Sydney and the Central Coast.

His experience spans capacity building and life skills, functional assessments, home and living assessments, assistive technology and home modifications.

Tim has a particular passion for finding the right practical solution for each person - from power and manual wheelchairs and pressure care equipment to personal care equipment and transfer devices. He has also completed additional professional development in complex seating prescription.

But what really stands out is how Tim works with people.

He enjoys building genuine relationships with clients and their wider support networks, creating an environment where people feel comfortable, listened to and supported to work towards what matters to them.

And when he’s not at Coast Rehab, you’ll probably find Tim running, at the beach, spending time with family and friends — or trying to keep up with his energetic border collie puppy! 🐶

Welcome to the team, Tim! 💙

A week on from the Central Coast Community Disability Expo, and we’re still reflecting on what a wonderful day it was. 💙

Thank you to the team at for bringing together such a great mix of people, organisations, families and services from across our community.

Peta and Laura had the pleasure of representing Coast Rehab at our stand, and one of the best parts of the day was simply having the opportunity to connect - to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, listen to experiences and learn more about the incredible work happening across the Central Coast.

For us, days like this are a reminder that good disability support doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when people share knowledge, work together and create strong connections around the people we support.

We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by for a chat, asked a question, shared their story or simply said hello. 👋

Thank you for making us feel part of such a connected community.

Until the next one! 🌊
