21.01.2022 Today marks the start of National Reconciliation Week for 2021. Reconciliation Australia’s theme for 2021, is ‘More than a word’. Reconciliation takes action, urges the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action. Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. At the heart of this journey are relationships between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torre...s Strait Islander peoples. Our team is committed to amplifying First Nations’ voices as we add our voices to calls for reconciliation and justice. https://youtu.be/ZMhfKLiC5Rk

02.01.2022 Today a paper outlining the proposal for more flexible NDIS plans, with a proposed new personalised budgeting approach was released by the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC, Minister for the NDIS. The proposals in this paper are as a result of the Minister hearing from NDIS Participants that they "...want more flexible budgets and greater choice and control over their supports and their lives. Instead of creating a plan that has funding based on individual items and supports, the propo...sed changes will see participants receive one, overall budget that they can use flexibly. This was the original intent of the NDIS for people with disability to be in control of the services and supports they purchase." The Minister went onto say in the media release that It is also clear to me that participants want to ensure that their goals are still included in the planning process. This paper outlines how that is proposed to work and what participants can expect.
