MIRRABOOKA DEVELOPMENT OPENS
MYVISTA was delighted to officially open the Mirrabooka Development at a ceremony on 4 March 2021.  It was wonderful to welcome a host of local dignitaries, past and present members of the Board of MYVISTA, life members of MYVISTA, staff members, residents of the new retirement living  apartments and many others involved in delivering the development. 
​A celebration cake was cut at the event and shared with all of our Mirrabooka and Balcatta staff and  aged care residents and customers.

Life Stories and Digital Learning
Thanks to the support of the Office of Multicultural Interests, we conducted a very special project in 2019. The project involved pairing 10 young volunteers with 10 residents to work together over a period of 10 weeks to record special stories from the life of each resident.  Each pair used an iPad (funded by Lotterywest) to record the stories.  With the help of the volunteers, the residents also gained a general understanding of such things as email, Facebook, Google, Skype and YouTube.
