25.01.2022 Carers NT - Working closely with Gumatj and the Gunyangara Community.

25.01.2022 An interesting night at the NT Young Achievers awards, that were held online this year - hosted by Channel7, with a few of the nominated Young Carers in attendance. The Event was still engaging and we all enjoyed the evening. Young Carers Ebony Cubillo, Stephengen Magadia, Alissa Collins and Eloy Mason were there on the night with Emma Symonds unable to attend. Well done to Ebony Cubillo who won the Young Carer of the Year award and gave an emotional and rousing speech. Well done to all our Young Carers.

23.01.2022 Concession and Seniors Recognition Schemes go Online It has never been easier for members of the Northern Territory Concessions Scheme (NTCS) and Northern Territory Seniors Recognition Scheme (NTSRS) to undertake their annual renewals thanks to a new online portal launched on 04 January 2021. The launch of the easy-to-use portal coincides with the opening of the annual membership renewal process for 2021. The new digital process is fast and secure, and will replace the forme...r paper-based form and declaration. Members can use the online portal to renew their membership by visiting www.ntconcessions.nt.gov.au/renew or by clicking on the link below. Members must renew between 1 January and 30 June each year to continue receiving concessions and payments. Existing members are made aware of the annual renewal process via notifications and reminders by email or letter, with SMS reminders sent between January and June. Members who are unable to complete the process online can renew their membership by visiting a Territory Families, Housing and Communities service centre, or by calling 1800 777 704 (free call).

You Are Not Alone: Crisis Advice for Family, Friends & Carers Monday 29th June - Friday 3rd July // Forums Discussion Thread... When someone has suicidal thoughts or attempts suicide, it can be hard for their loved ones to respond to their needs whilst also looking after themselves. Today, SANE Australia is launching the incredible Your Are Not Alone resource. This online information hub was created with the help of people who have been carers and know how tough it can be. There's information covering the many stages of supporting someone who has attempted suicide, or who is at risk of doing so. Beginning next Monday, a five day discussion in the Family, Friends & Carers Forum will unpack the ins and outs of supporting loved ones with complex mental health, discussing access to community support, navigating the hospital system, as well as ongoing self-care strategies, specifically for carers.

15.01.2022 The Territory Labor Government is again providing every Territory child from preschool to year 12 with $150 to assist with the cost of returning to school in 2021. The subsidy can be used to go towards educational items or services at the school a child is enrolled at. All children enrolled in a Northern Territory Government, or non-government school or preschool are eligible for the $150 entitlement, which is redeemed through your school. The $150 may be used to contribute t...owards purchasing uniforms, stationery, school photos, educational resources or to cover the costs of excursions. Children in transition to Year 12 can access the subsidy in Term 1, and the entitlement must be used by the end of Term 1, 2021. For pre-schoolers, the $150 payment is available throughout the year but is only valid until the end of the first term in which they first enrol. For more information about the Back to School Payment Scheme policy, contact your child’s school or visit education.nt.gov.au. See more
