23.01.2022 Check out the new NDIS website for Karakan - a Brisbane based provider that is supporting people in the Ipswich region. Have a look at their stories and supports and get in contact with them if you want some guidance along your NDIS journey.

22.01.2022 This story tells us that the NDIS could be turning our dreams into reality for people with a disability. With the NDIS just picking up steam in Ipswich and surrounding regions - what have been people's thoughts, experiences and opinions so far? Is it working like it should?

22.01.2022 This is what the NDIS was supposed to look like in Ipswich - what are your experiences so far? What have been the challenges? Where have you had successes?

19.01.2022 Although we already hear stories of frustration from people dealing with the NDIS - there are even more positive stories of people accessing supports for themselves or loved ones, where support simply wasn't available before. Remember that through the teething problems (I think we will all face some frustration through the NDIS transition) - the premise of this program is one that will support people with disabilities in a way that we have never seen in our country before.

18.01.2022 This is some of the feedback that we are receiving from people in Toowoomba after their NDIS Roll Out date of 1 January, 2017. As the Boy Scouts would say 'Be Prepared' - Get your Access Requests in early and follow up where possible.

17.01.2022 With news that NDIS Plans are now rolling out thick and fast in the Ipswich Region - how is everyone going with the Planning and Implementation stage so far? It would be great to hear from people regarding their experiences and what they have heard or experienced so far! Successes and Challenges.

16.01.2022 This is a great article from last year that notes the positives of the NDIS and some people's goal for employment and how we need to improve diversity within our communities to ensure that employment goals are attainable - even with NDIS support. Is Employment a goal within your NDIS plan? How do you feel you are being supported towards Employment Goals currently?

15.01.2022 After following the NDIS rollout in Toowoomba - our advice is to get in early when completing an Access Request for the NDIS in the Ipswich region. The NDIA is trying to 'get in front' of the Roll Out as they move into locations - so do what you can to get in early. It may take a long wait on the phone - but better to wait now - than later! Let us know if you are having any issues with Access Requests or how your preparation is going for the NDIS Roll Out in July.

15.01.2022 Unfortunately, we too often get caught up in the everyday life that comes with having a disability or supporting someone with a disability. It is great to see stories like this one that promote the amazing talents and ingenuity that are in every one of us - regardless of ability or disability. Our hope is that the NDIS allows people with disability to unlock their potential and reach goals that might have otherwise seemed unattainable. Let us know what you think!

13.01.2022 Some people have found the Self Managing their plan is a nightmare - while others see the benefits out-weighing the initial challenges. For anyone that is Self-Managing an NDIS Plan - what is your feedback so far? Is it working? Or are you looking to change to make the NDIS process a little simpler? Always great to hear from people with actual experience!

11.01.2022 Great to hear that some of our local Support Providers are making some headway with the NDIS in the Toowoomba roll-out. How is everyone in Ipswich moving along? Steady progress or finding yourself stalled at certain spots? We always love to hear your feedback - sharing your experiences with those that are also somewhere on the NDIS journey.

08.01.2022 What do you all think of Nadia? The NDIA are looking to trial a Virtual Assistant - voiced by Cate Blanchett to help people as they try to navigate The Portal and engage with the NDIA and hopefully learn more about their option under the NDIS. It is very positive that the NDIA is looking into technologies that will make the portal more accessible - but will it work?

06.01.2022 Some great changes being made for the future of the NDIS

05.01.2022 Although it has it's issues - it is great to the see the NDIS allowing for organisations to provide new support opportunities where possible. Respite seems to be a major concern within the scheme - are people in the Ipswich & Lockyer Valley looking for respite solutions? It would be great to hear what else is available locally....... Let us know how you are going with the NDIS preparations so far.
