Brightwater Festival –a celebration of our people

The inaugural Brightwater Festival was a celebration of our people, including our wonderful staff who make a difference every day, our clients and their families, and the communities that support us.

The week-long festival started on 27 March with pop-up treat trucks and cake deliveries to Brightwater sites and a Wellness Day at Brightwater Central. On 28 March, we welcomed staff and community members to the Brightwater Research Centre Showcase. Our annual Brightwater Spirit Awards, recognising our amazing staff, was a memorable celebration on 9 March.

Then, over the weekend of 1 and 2 April we hosted two fun community and staff events including a Movie in the Park and a fantastic Family Fun Day and Swap Meet in the car park at Brightwater Central.

With thanks to festival sponsors HESTA and Unicare Health and AccessPay, who proudly sponsored our Awards Night, and to all of the staff who assisted with each event!

Hundreds of staff, clients, families, researchers and members of the community dropped into our first ever Brightwater Research Centre Showcase to hear about the work of our amazing team.

We finished the festival with a wonderful Family Fun Day and Swap Meet. Staff, community members and residents from Brightwater Inglewood enjoyed the entertainment and hunt for a bargain.
