16.01.2022 While Chill is on its summer break, the Code Blue studios are being used by the Autism Cooperative Research Centre to film educational videos for the InclusionED website. Inclusion ED is the outcome of a national research project led by Associate Professor Michael Whelan and it aims to provide professional learning resources for mainstream teachers working in diverse classrooms

15.01.2022 Data, data everywhere ... The NDIA have released their latest Quarterly Report today. So what does it say?... There are now more than 410,00 people getting support from the scheme. Almost 22,000 joined this quarter - and almost 40 per cent of these were children. The scheme continues to try and reach out to people from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background or from a Culturally or Linguistically Diverse background. The numbers of participants who identified as either increased this quarter. There were also higher numbers of people with a psychosocial disability coming into the scheme in the last few months compared to previous quarters. in contrast the number of young people with disability living in aged care fell by a small amount over the quarter. The NDIA are now meeting their target of making a decision about eligibility for the scheme within 21 days. This is also the first Quarterly Report where the NDIA is reporting against the timeframes contained in the Participant Service Guarantee. The Guarantee outlines how long key NDIS processes should take - for example how long until you should wait before you receive your first plan or how long you should wait before your review is resolved. There is quite a bit of detail about how they are tracking in the report. There is also a lot about scheme sustainability - and why the NDIA think the new compulsory assessments will make things fairer and more consistent. We are still wading through all the detail. And will pop something up on our website soon. But in the meantime drop is a line and let us know what jumped out at you. You can find a copy of the report on the NDIS website - https://www.ndis.gov.au//5614-latest-quarterly-report-now- (Photo of the front of the Quarterly Report. There is a photo of two people walking together with a dog. They are walking on a path. There is grass on either side of the path. Trees can be seen in the distance. The text reads "Q1 2020-2021" in the top right hand corner. At the bottom the text reads "NDIS Quarterly Report to disability ministers September 2020". The NDIS logo is in the bottom right hand corner)

14.01.2022 Say hello to our new Chillie Grillie tuning in all the way from Sydney yesterday for our Chill On The Grill workshop. Jack was so switched on following the recipe steps and most importantly using great social skills conversing with mentors and Chillies during the lunch! Unlike pizza, you can't be topped!
