25.01.2022 Living your best life! Choice and Control and everything in between

23.01.2022 With COVID making a vicious comeback in Victoria, it might be time for all of us to do a refresher on how to prepare ourselves, our homes, our workers and loved... ones with disability. This webinar has a heap of ideas, and as weird as it is to recommend your own stuff, I highly recommend you watch. It's only an hour and has heaps of tips and tricks. Stay safe out there everyone! I'm a bit nervous about what's to come, so the more we can do to prep now, the better. https://www.thegrowingspace.com.au/covid19/ The webinar is the first link, but there's a fair bit of other useful stuff we've put on this page, too.

22.01.2022 Some breaking news this morning The Minister for the NDIS Stuart Robert has released the government’s response to the Tune review. Just in case you have forgo...tten (because it already feels like a hundred years ago thanks to COVID) Last year Mr David Tune conducted a review into the NDIS Act. Not the whole kit and caboodle of the NDIS, but just what needed to change in the Act. And even though it was just supposed to be about the NDIS Act, Mr Tune made a bunch of sensible, practical recommendations about a whole lot of things like the need for simple and clear language to explain key NDIS terms like reasonable and necessary. Things like greater flexibility in how you can use your NDIS funds. And outreach and support for people who are really missing out like First Nations people with disability or people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background. And the good news is that the government appears to have accepted all the recommendations except for two and those they have accepted in principle. That’s government speak for we’re kinda on board but we need to hedge our bets for a few reasons. Great to see acceptance - now for making them happen! And the Minister also announced the release of the Participant Service Charter and the Participant Service Improvement Plan (mouthfuls we know). Those two documents do two things. The Charter outlines the way participants can expect the NDIA to behave when it works with them. And the Plan outlines all the work the NDIA will do over the next two years to improve people’s experience of the scheme. Really critical things like introducing longer plans and greater flexibility in how you can use your NDIS funds. But amongst all the other things there was one part of the announcement that did catch our eye. The Minister also announced that from next year the NDIA will fund independent assessment for people applying to enter the scheme. And then later in the year for people having plan reviews at critical life points like leaving school or leaving home. There is not a lot of detail about that one. We know that lots of you are worried about what those assessments will mean for you. We do want the NDIS to be fair and consistent. And people shouldn’t have to pay for expensive reports that may or may not hit the mark. But the most important thing of ALL - we need to make sure that people get the support they desperately need. As with all of these things the devil is always in the detail. There was a lot of information released today so we are working our way through it - so stay tuned (no pun intended).
