Understanding Your Walk
Update: 24 Dec 2025

Mark & Sylvie’s is inspired to be working with Senstride and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Melbourne to investigate how technology can help older Australians avoid having a fall. Feel free to watch this video to follow the story.
Digital Mentor Program
Update: 22 Dec 2025
Sometimes an older person receives an iPad or phone as a gift. However, without the right support, it may not get used. Which is sad, given it could help them be more connected.
Fortunately, together with Atticus Health, Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care received a grant from the Good Things Foundation to help improve digital literacy. With that, we helped train our staff to better help our older clients and patients with digital technology. This eventually led to creating our first “Volunteer Coordinator” and Lead Digital Mentor, Jo (aka Queen of Fun!). From there, we reached out to patients and friends to become Digital Mentors who Jo has been meeting with and training. Our Digital Mentors are an amazing group who are there to help people use their devices and the internet.
This includes how to:
- Avoid an online scam
- Book a medical appointment online
- Stay in touch with family and friends using SMS and social media
Once again, we would like to thank and acknowledge The Good Things Foundation for supporting us to get this program off the ground. If you know anyone who would benefit from the assistance of a Digital Mentor, please let us know, we’d be glad to help.
✨ A milestone for "Health to Home" care: The Willing Enable Experience Centre is officially OPEN! ✨
Yesterday, the sun was shining on Atticus Health Hastings as we celebrated the official launch of the Willing Enable Experience Centre. It was a day filled with innovation, inspiration, and—most importantly—soul.
This centre is a vision of the future. By integrating technology with our "Health to Home" model, we’re showing Australia how older adults can age safely, independently, and meaningfully in the comfort of their own homes. 🏠🚀
A Heartfelt Thank You:
An achievement like this is never a solo effort. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who brought this vision to life:
🙏 Our Partners: To the teams at Homeable and Westernport Mobility thank you for your tireless dedication to innovation and for sharing our purpose of inspiring healthy, fulfilling lives.
🙏 Our Special Guests: To our healthcare professionals, and community members who joined us, your support is what makes us a "spirited community."
🙏 The Atticus Health & Mark & Sylvie's Team: From the organisers to the clinicians who demonstrated the tech on the day, thank you for your creativity and teamwork.
Walking through the centre and seeing the "Wow" on people's faces reminded us exactly why we do what we do. We are here to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and home-based support, and this launch is just the beginning.
Missed the launch?
The Experience Centre is now open for you to explore! Come and see firsthand how we are redefining independence for older Australians.

The afternoon connected residents with local experts. Liam from Homeable demonstrated smart home modifications, while Dr Dudi Spicer discussed his specialised aged care and home visit services. Hoda Palizian also introduced her psychology services, providing vital mental health support directly to the community.
We were heartened by the strong attendance and the chance to connect over refreshments. This initiative reflects our mission across all Atticus clinics: bringing essential care to the heart of our communities ... See MoreSee Less

We also thank all our staff for continuing care over this period. It surely takes a team to make it all happen.
