Celebrating Our Participants: Special Moments at HCCS 2026

At Himalayan Community Care Services (HCCS), supporting people is about more than providing a service. It is about building genuine relationships, celebrating achievements and sharing the special moments that matter.

Throughout 2026, we have had the privilege of celebrating birthdays and important milestones alongside some of the wonderful people we support. These occasions bring participants, families and our team together and reflect the sense of connection and belonging we aim to create at HCCS.

This page will continue to be updated throughout the year as we celebrate more special moments with our participants.

Latest Celebration: July Birthdays

Our latest celebration gave us the opportunity to share the birthdays of AR and SR. It was wonderful to celebrate these special occasions together and to see family members joining the celebrations, both in person and virtually.

Special Moments Throughout 2026

Take a look back at some of the birthday celebrations and special moments we have been privileged to share with the people we support throughout 2026.

July 2026 – Celebrating AR and SR

July brought another wonderful opportunity to celebrate two of the people we support at HCCS, AR and SR, as they marked their birthdays.

It was a joy to share these special occasions with them and particularly heartwarming to see family members joining the celebrations, both in person and virtually.

At HCCS, we recognise the importance of family, friendship and community connection. Celebrating personal milestones together is one of the many ways we build meaningful relationships and create opportunities for people to feel valued, included and connected.

We wish AR and SR a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year ahead filled with happiness, new experiences, achievements and plenty of reasons to smile.

Happy Birthday from everyone at HCCS!

March 2026 – Celebrating JT’s 60th Birthday

March marked a very special milestone as JT celebrated his 60th birthday.

It was a wonderful occasion filled with smiles, celebration and plenty of birthday cheer as we came together to recognise this important milestone with JT.

Special occasions like these are about much more than cake and decorations. They provide an opportunity to celebrate the individual, strengthen relationships and create meaningful memories together.

At HCCS, we believe every person deserves to feel seen, supported and celebrated. Sharing moments like JT’s 60th birthday reflects the genuine relationships and sense of connection we strive to build with the people we support.

We wish JT continued happiness, good health and many more wonderful memories in the years ahead.

Happy 60th Birthday, JT!

More Than Support – Building Connection

At Himalayan Community Care Services, person-centred support means recognising the whole person, including their relationships, interests, achievements and the moments that are important to them.

Whether we are celebrating a birthday, recognising an achievement or simply sharing an important moment together, we are proud to support people to live with greater independence, confidence, choice and connection to their community.

These celebrations reflect something at the heart of HCCS: care that feels like family.

When we first started with HCCS, we understood that Agaru would be engaging with a whole new set of carers all over again! However, we came to realise that beyond our expectations, the HCCS administration and carer staff worked with so much diligence and professionalism, that Agaru was able to engage with more activities – personal, medical / physio and social - in just three weeks, than what he had in four months with the previous carer organisation. It was a valuable and significant decision to change to HCCS. Since starting, we discovered the recommendations to move came from our NDIS Plan co-ordinator, plus a family relative who had also completed a NDIS Plan co-ordinator course. Agaru is now undergoing planned hydrotherapy activities, with a specialist and the attending HCCS carer staff member, as well as continuing scheduled ongoing speech pathology therapy and other physical exercise activities. It is such a milestone to achieve......!!

Hello, my name is Tula Maya Magar. I was born in Bhutan. Over 30 years ago I fled my home country and went to Nepal, following the mass exodus of fellow southern Bhutanese, who are mainly Nepali speakers. While living in a refugee camp in Nepal, I lost my vision and subsequently, I came to Australia as a visually impaired person. I have had a huge shift in life, moving from a refugee camp to the beautiful country of Australia. After relocation, things became relaxed to some extent. But my visual impairment could not be reversed. I always had to rely on my husband for community access and attending important appointments. My sons and daughters must work and thus cannot be with me. My husband, who is also my carer, is unable to speak English, not being able to drive, I had a limited movement because I had to mostly rely on him. He would hold my hand and take me to places that were within walking distance. But the circumstances have changed now since I started availing support through NDIS. I have my support worker. My support worker takes me to places, takes me to attend medical appointments. With the help of my support worker, the community and shopping centres have become accessible to me. Not only that, but my support worker also translates important information for me. Every second Tuesday, when I get to meet other community members, I enjoy speaking to them and singing songs. I became a rejuvenated person. I feel as if my vision has come back. I may never see things again, but I feel my inner eye, like a divine eye, has become open through which I can see things not only just that are around but those that are subtle, too.

I was hospitalised for about three months. My Support Coordinator tried her best to find a matching Support Worker for me who can understand me, my disability, my culture and foster a positive care and support. I was lacking consistent support due to the incompetency of my SW’s. I was introduced to HCCS care in June 2022. Within a very short period of time HCCS and their SW become a crucial part of my support network. My Support Workers are friendly and understand my unique needs. I like their flexibility, they become available even with short notice regardless of any day or time. Sometimes I am not sure how my funding works and like to understand more about NDIS. The way they treat and answer me is very professional. Their empathy and effective communication skills have made a significant difference in my life.
