Last week we welcomed the 2026 Future Shapers - Community Leaders cohort to our Neerim Crescent depot for a behind‑the‑scenes look at our recycling operations.

GOOD NEWS STORY from The G!

Peter, Les and Charmaine had an unforgettable night at the MCG for the Geelong vs Carlton match, thanks to the AFL Community Ticketing Program and the support of McCallum team members Kit and Jess.

The Blues got the win and Pete’s smile said it all. He is absolutely beaming. 😍
Even with a Cats defeat, Les and Charmaine still loved the energy of a big stadium crowd and the excitement of being part of a major event.

These opportunities matter.
For people with disability, social outings, community connection and shared experiences are just as important as day‑to‑day support. It takes a village of people who understand that moments like this — the ones many take for granted — help build confidence, independence and a real sense of belonging.

If you want to help create more moments like this or are seeking support for yourself or a loved one, choose McCallum. 🏉💙

NATIONAL SORRY DAY - MAY 26th.

Today we acknowledge National Sorry Day.

We remember the Stolen Generations and the ongoing impact of the past on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities.

At McCallum, our purpose is to create places where people feel safe, respected and included.
National Sorry Day reminds us why this work matters. It calls us to listen, learn and make sure our services and workplaces support belonging for everyone.

We honour the strength and resilience of survivors and their families and we continue our work toward a more just and inclusive future.
