Thankyou to all those wonderful NDIS providers who attended monthly networking event today. Education and connection within the disability sector is a must. Given the lack of clarity with the ever changing landscape of the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme we have to genuinely support each other as Providers. This will ensure that those participants we collectively support, achieve meaningful outcomes and achieve their goals and aspirations. Thanks to our sponsors Dempsey and for their ongoing support of our monthly get together.

🚗 South Australia has introduced important changes to the Disability Parking Permit (DPP) scheme, expanding eligibility from 1 July 2025.
People with cognitive, behavioural, and neurological disabilities - including those with autism, brain injuries, or dementia — can now apply for a permit. Legally blind passengers are also eligible for the first time.
These updates reflect a growing recognition that not all disabilities are visible. The changes follow earlier reforms in the ACT and show a national shift toward more inclusive and accessible parking policy.
If you manage buildings, facilities, or car parks, this is the time to review how your accessible bays are managed and protected.

What is support?

How is support, delivered to you?
Is it helping with or doing for, the things you can’t do?
Am I able to do things for me?
Or am I labelled as someone, with a disability?

How would I feel about myself
If what I could do, was done, by someone else?
Give me a chance to give it a go
And watch my self-worth, and confidence grow!

Each of us, are unique beings.
Each of us, have our own feelings.
None of us should be labelled
We are all able, not disabled.

We need to see people for who they are,
What they bring, and shine their star.
We are so fixated on the symptom, not the cause
We over-react, instead of pause!

What can we learn, from this going forward?
Conversations around this, can often be awkward.
Active listening can be the key
To enable these emotions, to be set free!

The United Abilities team offers Peer supports.
By actively listening and tailoring services based on the clients’ personal goals,
This then empowers the clients’ abilities to achieve for themselves,
Not doing it for them, but with them!
If because of this, we make ourselves redundant, then we know that our client has flourished in their own right!

🌟 Shout out to our incredible Support Worker! 🌟

This morning, one of our team members called to share something special. A participant—who used to coach soccer before experiencing a stroke—expressed his interest in getting back to the game he loves. Without hesitation, our Support Worker reached out to his contacts at the local club where the participant still attends Monday sessions to stay connected with the team.

The response? “Bring him in for some training.” 💪⚽

This is what person-centred support looks like. It’s moments like these—when someone goes that extra step—that change lives.

We love hearing how we can support the entire family. We understand the challenges of having multiple children who rely on NDIS supports. As just one of the many providers they trust, it’s rewarding to know that our team is here to assist in any way we can.
