Alongside the animal rescue kits Gabriel has helped to put together, he is also running workshops for Vision Australia and is a nominee for Ballarat Young Citizen of the Year! A great example of how a disability does not have to get in the way of your dreams!

06.01.2022 Goal Achieved One of Emily’s main Physio goals this year has been to increase her walking endurance, with the focus on doubling the distance she walked in last years Stroke Associations Will2Walk. Emily is incredibly dedicated to her daily Physio & OT home based rehab program & with regular home based ATS Physio sessions not only has she improved her endurance but she has progressed from a Grillo walker (pictured below) to a Trionic outdoor 4 wheeled walker. Today Emily’s ...goal was to walk 100m. Today with the support of family, friends & her ATS Physio Anne, Emily smashed her goal & walked 140m. Emily has been raising money through the Will2Walk for the Barwon Stroke Support Centre (she has also smashed her fundraising goal ). The Barwon Stroke Support Centre is such a amazing resource in the Geelong community. It’s programs deliver a range of support & recovery-based activities for stroke survivors.

02.01.2022 Being able to choose whether or not you live with your family, share a bedroom with your partner or live with a person with or without a disability may sound like a basic human right.

The NDIS made some vital changes to their SDA rules last week, enabling greater flexibility around who participant's can live with and how.
