20.01.2022 Learning to social distance has bought some challenges in connecting with people, though it has also taught us that connection can come in many forms, at any moment and with anyone. Some of us have even had the opportunity to connect in ways we never would have before, and with people wed have never had the opportunity to connect with. What a blessing! Check out these neighbours having a socially distanced dance workout together! How have you connected throughout this period... that you would have thought of before, and with who? https://buff.ly/34h0TwQ Accessibility Text: White infographic with a light blue quotation mark on the top left hand corner.

17.01.2022 Are service providers failing the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme? A thought-provoking piece by our very own Richard Orr - Mentor, Catalyst for Change and the Chief Operating Officer for Australian Inclusion Group. "It is easy to blame the government for the continuity of services which will perpetuate social isolation and compromise peoples basic human rights. It is much harder to blame ourselves as service providers for choosing to provide services which won...t lead to positive outcomes for people... Service providers must realise that if we dont make radical changes to the types of services we provide and the way those services are provided, it is us who will fail the NDIS not government. The NDIS affords us an opportunity to reorganise our organisations and design our services around the people we support not around the organisation." Australian Inclusion Group is an incubator for innovative approaches that promote social inclusion.

A year we finally accept the need for change. Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of pushing each other further apart. 2020 isnt cancelled, but rather the more important year of them all.
