On the journey of supporting others, remember to support yourself too.

Even 10 minutes of quiet — a walk, a breath, a cup of tea — can reset your spirit. 💚

What’s your favourite little ritual to recharge? We’d love to hear it.

NDIS Update: The NDIA has introduced stronger compliance checks for providers to ensure participant safety and quality.

This means more accountability — and more peace of mind for participants and families.

At Optcare, transparency and trust remain at the heart of what we do. 💜

Happy Labour Day!💚

Today, we celebrate every support worker, carer, and community hero whose compassion keeps our world moving.

At Optcare, we recognise that care is work — and it deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated. 💪

To every carer, support staff, and NDIS participant making a difference — thank you for your heart and dedication.

October is here — and with it, World Mental Health Month.

For many in the disability community, mental health support is just as important as physical care.

This year’s focus? “Connection is Key.”

✨ At Optcare, we believe every participant deserves not just care, but connection — to community, to opportunities, and to wellbeing.

👉 Tell us in the comments: What helps you feel most connected — friends, family, support groups, or something else?

🌙 Quality sleep = stronger resilience, better mood, sharper mind.

Here’s a starter: limit screens 30 mins before bed & keep a regular routine.

🚨 Big shift ahead: From mid-2026, NDIS needs assessments may shift to semi-structured digital interviews using the I-CAN version 6 tool, reducing reliance on medical reports.

What this could mean for participants: quicker turnaround, but concerns about losing the personal touch.

At Optcare, we’ll keep you informed.
