Our winner for our summer Pet Social is Brianna and her dog Molly. Brianna shared some lovely words about her special relationship with Molly, “At 13 years old, she’s my therapy dog and my absolute world.” “She adores walks, car drives, beach days, treats, and she brings joy wherever she goes. She’s been my constant companion through life’s ups and downs, and I truly don’t know where I’d be without her”.” “She’s not just a pet — she’s family.” At Housing Choices Australia, we know that pets have a positive impact on mental health and make incredible companions. If you have a pet that you would like to feature on our Pet Social, send us an email at communitydevelopmenttas@ hcau.org.au for a chance to win a prize!

Simple autumn jobs • Add compost to garden beds.
• Mulch to protect plants from frost. • Clear leaves and start a compost pile.
No garden? Try pots or containers — herbs, lettuce and even strawberries grow well in small spaces.
A little planting now means a bright, blooming spring ahead!
