It’s heartbreaking to see what Mark and Chloe, two inspiring NDIS participants, are going through.

Their much-loved car wash had to close because of ongoing black mould issues that their NDIS provider Community Access Care has battled for months, with a landlord unwilling to fix the problem or release them from a long-term lease.

This story highlights the real-life struggles faced by people with disabilities and the dedicated organisations who support them.

Talkin Toowoomba is sharing their story to shine a light on what’s happening and the need for fair treatment for all. 💙

In this episode of Talkin’ Toowoomba, Shane chats with Rachel Garvin, one of the dedicated service providers at Hope Horizons. Rachel is an experienced remedial and oncology massage therapist who also specialises in scar therapy — a powerful, gentle approach that helps people heal physically and emotionally after cancer treatment and surgery.

Rachel explains how oncology massage works with the nervous system to calm the body during recovery, and how scar therapy goes beyond the surface to restore movement, reduce pain, and rebuild confidence. She also shares powerful client story that show the real impact of this work — including one that might surprise you.

If you or someone you know is living with the effects of surgery or cancer treatment, this conversation is well worth a listen. Learn how Hope Horizons continues to support Toowoomba locals on their recovery journeys, with compassion, care, and community at its heart.

Great work

Congratulations to Team Loxley. 5th on the national The Long Run Community Leaderboard. A whopping $15, 190 raised for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Outstanding job from a group of 'everyday' blokes from a regional town, making a tangible difference on a national stage. Well done to everyone involved.
