Resources

We came across this brilliant set of resources the other day and thought they’d benefit you and your clients too! The Right Track toolkit and webinar series was created by South Australia’s City of Playford, in partnership with the City of Salisbury, and funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.

Are you a university student with disability in your final or second-to-last year of study? Yes? Then you could complete a paid internship as part of the Australian Government’s Stepping Into program.

Disability can create barriers to the everyday things we need to survive, like accommodation, food, health care, education, income and transport. Thankfully, there are programs and services in the community to help people with disability to access supports in all areas of life.

Psychosocial disability can see people trapped in patterns and cycles that are difficult to break and which prevent them from moving forward in life. This is where a recovery coach – a relatively new mental health-focused support in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) – may be able to help.

If you have a physical therapy program and struggle to stick to it – you’re not alone. It can be difficult to carve out time each day, and tasks without instant results (like exercise and rehab – where repetition is key!) can often be pushed down the to-do list.

If you’re a taxi user with disability in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Western Australia then you’re going to want to know about this! A dedicated disability taxi service has launched with a host of tech features that allow you to keep track of your travel spending, see your average trip costs and even nominate your preferred driver – plus much more.

Looking to grow your capacity and achieve better outcomes from your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan? The SKILL project just might help. SKILL – which stands for Strengthening Knowledge, Ideas, Links and Leadership – is an individual capacity building project for people with disability and their supporters.

When Australian comedian, Em Rusciano, took to the stage at a recent National Press Club gathering, she shone a spotlight on one of the most talked about topics in disability circles – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known as ADHD.

If you’re a participant in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you’ll be well aware of just how challenging it is to find and keep the right supports for you. The right supports can help grow capacity and achieve plan goals faster, but they can also have a huge impact on mindset – and that affects everything we do, think and experience, and the outcomes we create.
