16.01.2022 New consent forms on NDIS Website! "The NDIA has made it easier to access participant consent forms. You can now download them from the Consent forms page. The ...improved forms cover different types of consent. This makes clear what consent the participant wants to provide. Participants and prospective participants can submit one or both forms, depending on what want type of consent they want to give to the NDIA. Consent for the NDIA to Share Your Information form Complete this form if you want to share information about your plan or access request with another person or organisation. For example, consent for your NDIS representative to discuss your plan with a family member and explain how you can use your funding. Consent for a Third Party to Act on Behalf of a Participant form Also complete this form if you want someone to act for you for complete specific tasks related to your NDIS plan. You can specify who can do this, for what specific purpose, and for a set period of time. For example, consent for a family member to make a service agreement and bookings with a support provider, for the duration of your current plan. Participants and prospective participants can change their consent at any time by calling 1800 800 110. https://www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/policies/access-information For more information about how to use and submit these forms, see the Access to Information page linked above You can also request copies of the forms to be sent to you, by calling 1800 800 110 or contacting your local NDIA office."

03.01.2022 Some welcomed developments as QLD prepares to enter into Stage 1 of the easing of restrictions

01.01.2022 Dear SDA Providers, Builders and Investors, STOP BUILDING 5 bedroom houses with one living area for people with High Physical Support Houses. WE DON'T WANT THEM..., and we won't refer people to these houses which offer no quality of life to residents, and which you have built based on a financial model of high SDA return, without any consideration of what the "market" actually wants or needs. What we DO need, however, is a stack of one or two bedroom homes, and some three bedroom homes, and we DESPERATELY need them for people at the improved liveability and robust level as well. This is where the HUGE demand lies, and while it might appear the returns are lower, you'll be doing the right thing, still make a good profit, and the house won't sit there vacant for years, losing you money. Even better - why don't you work towards helping disabled people OWN THEIR OWN homes, and look at shared equity models etc. Would YOU want to live in this home with four other strangers? No? Then damn well don't expect disabled people to either! These are the views of Sam Paior, of The Growing Space, and reflect years of experience with hundreds of NDIS participants and families and their search for somewhere to be their home, not just a place to sleep. Feel free to share, with credit and no edits. Thanks. pic desc: a 3D style floorplan of a five bedroom, five bathroom house with a corridor down the middle and a support worker bedroom and bathroom at the front. There is one shared kitchen/living/dining area (which would not fit five people using wheelchairs around the table). There is a one car, tiny, garage. There are little images of empty manual hospital style wheelchairs scattered throughout the doorways.

01.01.2022 Oh What a Feeling!! The new AVENUES wheelchair accessible van has arrived! So wonderful to now have two vans on the road for our clients to enjoy!! Many thanks to Scott at John Madill Toyota Gympie and Daniel at AVA Vehicle Access Solutions
