About SMASHING

SMASHING is a documentary series produced by Feros Care in collaboration with Ironbark Films, an all-inclusive filmmaking team.

This six-part series celebrates the achievements, growth and impact of aged care professionals in a sector often impacted by negative stereotypes and misconceptions.

Enjoy these transformative episodes which explore sexuality, innovation, culture and inclusion, and showcase the opportunities available within this dynamic sector.

“Smashing,” a collaborative six-part series produced by Feros Care and an inclusive filmmaking team, aims to challenge perceptions by showcasing an accurate and optimistic representation of aged care as a fulfilling career choice. Filmed across various locations, spanning from the Gold Coast – Queensland , to Metro West – Victoria, during a 14-day period, this initiative brought together Feros’ marketing team, Ironbark Films, and students from Bus Stop Films in a collectively crafted filmmaking project.

Partnering with students from Bus Stop Films not only provided students with valuable paid work experience opportunities, enhancing their skills, but also paved the way for individuals with disabilities to advance their careers within the film industry.
