The 31st of March is Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

It's is a day to celebrate trans, gender diverse and non-binary people; their strength, achievements, and communities.

While many show incredible resilience, it’s important to recognise the real impacts of discrimination, stigma, and barriers to affirming care. These experiences can shape wellbeing, including alcohol and other drug use.

Creating safer, more inclusive services matters. That means:
- Respecting names, pronouns & identities
- Understanding lived experiences
- Building inclusive environments
- Valuing community strengths
- Let’s move beyond awareness - and into action!

🌸 Happy International Women’s Day 2026 🌸

Today we celebrate the extraordinary women who make Sisters in the City what it is — our support workers, nurses, coordinators, and the incredible women we support every single day.

In our world, women show up. They show up at 6am shifts and late-night on-calls. They show up with patience, clinical skill, and genuine heart. They advocate fiercely for people who deserve to be seen, heard, and empowered to live life on their own terms.

To every woman in our team — thank you for the care you pour into this work. It doesn’t go unnoticed. 💛

And to the women we have the privilege of supporting — your strength, resilience, and individuality inspire everything we do.

This Women’s Day, we’re not just celebrating what women can overcome. We’re celebrating what women build.

Happy IWD from all of us at Sisters in the City. 🌷

Use these four steps to have a conversation that could change a life:

1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check in
Let’s make space for real conversations. Let’s support one another.

🖤💛❤️ National Reconciliation Week 2025: Bridging Now to Next

From the 27th of May to the 3rd of June, we reflect on our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

This year's theme, "Bridging Now to Next", urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward towards a more united and respectful nation, guided by lessons from the past.

Let's commit to learning, listening, and taking meaningful action - today and every day.

And finally, we'd like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise their ongoing connection to land, waters, and culture, and honour their enduring strength and resilience.

🚨 NDIS Funding Periods Are Here 🚨

From now on, all new and reassessed NDIS plans will release funding in set blocks (e.g. every 3 months) — not all at once like before.

This changes how we plan, deliver, and invoice support services — but it doesn’t change our commitment to quality, person-centred care. 💙

Here’s how we’re staying on track 👇

✅ Plan with purpose
We’ll align assessments, reviews, and training with each funding period to make sure critical supports are delivered on time.

✅ Keep communication open
We’re here to explain what funding periods mean and support participants, families, and coordinators every step of the way.

✅ Stay on top of documentation
Up-to-date reporting helps secure future funding and avoid delays during plan reviews.

✅ Quality over quantity
We stay focused on outcomes that truly matter — because better lives are the goal. 🌱

🧭 This is a change in structure, not in values. We remain dedicated advocates, educators, and guides — walking alongside participants with care and purpose.

🖤💛❤️ 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲.

We pause to remember the Stolen Generations - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families, culture, and communities.

This day is a time for truth-telling, reflection, and honouring the strength and survival of First Nations peoples.
It’s also a reminder that reconciliation is not just a word - it’s an action.

Together, we can listen, learn, and walk the path of healing with respect and care.
