Today on World Mental Health Day, we pause to remind ourselves (and each other!) that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health. 🌼



A simple conversation, a short walk in nature, a shared laugh over a cuppa… sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. For many, staying connected, feeling supported and knowing they’re not alone is everything.



Our Daisies understand how vital those connections are. That’s why we do more than just provide transport. We offer companionship, care and moments of meaningful interaction that can brighten someone’s day.



Let’s continue to look out for each other – not just today, but every day.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, show support and remind ourselves of the importance of looking after our health. 💗



This month, we’re showing our support for everyone affected by breast cancer — those living with it, those who have recovered, and the families, friends and loved ones beside them. 💗



Let’s wear pink, start conversations and support breast cancer awareness this October. 💗

Today we celebrate the strength, wisdom and spirit of our older community on the International Day of Older Persons.



Every day, we’re inspired by the incredible stories, warm smiles and kind hearts of the people we support. From quiet chats during a drive to witnessing the joy of reconnecting with old friends, it’s a privilege to be part of their journey.



Older people bring richness to our communities through their life experience, resilience and humour. This day is a reminder to honour their contributions and ensure they remain valued, supported and connected.



Let’s continue to build a world that celebrates ageing with dignity and joy. 💛

This October (or Dogtober) let’s show assistance dogs around Australia some appreciation for being our guiders, protectors and, of course, man’s best friend! 🐶



Dogtober is an Assistance Dogs Australia initiative, put in place to help drive fundraising for the specialised training required for assistance dogs.



Did you know it costs over $60,000 to train and place assistance dogs? Dogtober helps to drive awareness and boost fundraising efforts so more assistance dogs can be trained and given to those in need, free of charge.



If you want to get involved in a Dogtober, there are several fun ways you can help raise money for Assistance Dogs, such as:

🌼 Bring your dog to work day (small donation to take part)

🌼 Dog treat bake-off (bake dog treats and have a bake sale)

🌼 Sausage sizzle.



If you would like assistance getting out to a Dogtober event, visit www.drivingmissdaisy.com.au to find your local Daisy or call 1800 324 791.

As the weather warms up, it's a great time to clear a little space, not just in the cupboards, but in our lives too.



What that space looks like is different for everyone. It might mean making more time for afternoons in the garden, visits with friends, family lunches or even just getting outside to enjoy the fresh air.



Whatever that looks like for you, we hope this season gives you the chance to enjoy more of the moments that matter and more of what you love.



What would you like to make more room for this spring? We'd love to hear. 💛



If you or someone you care about would like a helping hand, call your local Daisy on 1800 324 791 (1800 DAISY 1). We'll get you where you need to go, so you can keep experiencing what brings you joy. 🌼

🎶 A SPECIAL DAY OUT WITH DRIVING MISS DAISY KINGLAKE 🌼

This week we were delighted to accompany one of our lovely clients to the Defence Force School of Music for a morning of exceptional musicianship and entertainment.

With beautiful weather, wonderful company and an incredibly talented group of musicians, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. 🎺🎶

We love being able to do more than simply get our clients from A to B — it’s about helping them get out, enjoy experiences, make memories and be part of the community. 💛

A huge thank you to the talented musicians for putting on such a wonderful concert. What a privilege to be there! 🇦🇺🎵

🌼 Driving Miss Daisy Kinglake — helping you get where you want to go, and making the journey part of the experience.

World Alzheimer’s Day 💛



Today we pause to recognise the strength, resilience and love of those living with Alzheimer’s, along with the families, carers and support networks walking alongside them.


At Driving Miss Daisy, we understand that familiar faces, patience and kindness can make all the difference. Our Daisies will pick you up from your front door, accompany you throughout your trip and bring you back to your door when you’re ready to go home.


All our Daisies are certified as Friends of Dementia, giving them the knowledge and confidence to offer meaningful support to those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.



Whether it’s a trip to a memory café, a medical appointment or a visit with loved ones, we’re here to help make each journey more comfortable, more thoughtful and more connected.



🌼 Small acts of care can have a big impact.



If you or someone you love could benefit from a reliable and understanding driving companion, call 1800 324 791 or visit www.drivingmissdaisy.com.au to find your nearest Daisy.
