11.05.2022 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!! We have seen the demand for our Social Program to make a return and we are listening! We have decided to reinvent our Day Program to make it accessible for you all to join and socialise while having loads of fun!... Anytime Friends Social Club is starting from the 13th June 2022. This will include a rotating fortnightly roster with fun, social activities for you to join and a chance to make lifelong friends. Each day will be a different activity from walking around Sydney CBD and admiring iconic sights such as Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Luna Park, bowling, and lunches to learning and improving independent life skills. There is a different cost involved each day so please see calendar attached with the details for each activity. You have the total flexibility to pick and choose which activity you would like to join. We would love to have you there, let us know if you would like to join by emailing [email protected] or call 02 9683 0999.

We continue to build a strong, viable organisation that reflects Participant needs, Carer’s perspective and increases the scope and reach of our activities and enhances the independence of Participants. Riverlink is constantly building on our knowledge base, listening to the feedback from Participants and Carers and identifying gaps in the community to improve and extend the support we offer. Our innovations give real options and experiences for Participants that go beyond basic care. These include social groups to develop social skills, community access to increase awareness and confidence as well as life skills to promote appropriate behaviours and independence.

17.01.2022 This is my brother Callum. His NDIS funding has been cut by the Morrison Government. My mum informed those responsible that part of Callum’s package was unspent... due simply to services temporarily not being available (due to no fault of our family). Let’s be clear, the $4.6 billion underspend on the NDIS is because the Federal Government have tightened the taps for vulnerable people with a disability who are desperately waiting for the support they need! My brother, like others, isn’t asking for a lot. He wants a job, to move out of home and to live independently. Unlike many families, Callum has a sister who is a State Member of Parliament and a Mum who has worked In the Public Service. We understand how to navigate the complicated system. I’m speaking out because most families don’t have that same privilege. If you know someone waiting for the NDIS or who’s funding has been cut, please let me know.

17.01.2022 Amazing smiles during some amazing weather!
