Why Staying Connected is the Best Medicine – Prize Sponsor

The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed hundreds of lives over eight decades and landed on a down-to-earth truth that communities outside of the city have always known: strong, caring relationships are the key factor for good health and quality of life. Good mates, good neighbours and the comfort of a friendly cuppa lower stress, sharpen the mind and even lengthen our years.

A newer sweep of happiness research—spanning almost a century of studies—echoes the same refrain: the surest path to a richer, healthier life is not walked alone. It is forged in the everyday moments of connection, from a shared joke at the shops to the gentle reassurance of a loved one beside you. The science is clear: we flourish together.

That spirit of togetherness is why Fisher Lane Mobility is now proudly part of Country Care Group. We serve our community united by the promise in the phrase, “There’s care. And then there’s Country Care.” Whether at the Care Expo or on the showroom floor, it is a promise that looks like a neighbourly smile and the right bit of kit to keep you moving towards the people and places you love.

Wheelchairs built for the local footpaths, walking aids that steady a stroll around the shops, zippy mobility scooters for the Saturday markets, or a lift recliner that lets you stay for just one more cuppa—our range is chosen with real lives and real connections in mind. You will also find adjustable-height chairs and beds, bathroom equipment, daily-living aids and more, all available to buy, hire or have serviced with our in-house technicians.

We are authorised and ready to accept DVA, NDIS, Geat2GO, TAC, SWEP, WORKSAFE, FEROS CARE and My Aged Care referrals. Our friendly team can help you navigate the path to the support you need, the same way we support our neighbours in the community. Because at Country Care Group, it is never just about equipment; it is about keeping you close to family, friends and the everyday moments that make life in our community so good for the heart.
