We strive to match people up to the supports they need, whether it's Cleaning or Support Work.

Finding accessible activities around Cairns can feel like detective work.

Accessible parking? Room for a mobility aid? Terrain that actually works?

We know the local spots - parks, markets, beach access points, cafés that genuinely deliver. When your support knows the landscape, you spend less time guessing and more time living.

Where have you been wanting to go? 💚

“Functional capacity assessment” can sound confusing.

It’s actually pretty simple.

The NDIS isn’t just looking at your diagnosis.
They’re looking at how your disability affects your daily life.

Can you cook safely?
Get to appointments?
Keep up with everyday tasks?

It shifts the question from
“what condition do you have?”
to
“what do you need help with, and why?”

The tricky part can be explaining that clearly.

That’s where support coordination helps. We make sure your real-life needs are properly understood, not just written down. 💚

Sometimes schedules shift and support plans need to change.

When that happens, good communication makes all the difference. It's the space between feeling caught off guard and being able to adjust your day calmly.

Here's what makes schedule changes easier to manage:

💚 Clear notice when possible - even a heads-up the day before helps you prepare
💚 A provider who understands your routine - so they know what rescheduling actually impacts
💚 Backup options for your regular supports - so changes don't leave you without help

We work to keep your support consistent and communicate any changes as early as we can.

Because you shouldn't have to build your whole week around uncertainty. 💚

24/04/2026

You may have heard recently that the way support is being looked at under the NDIS is changing.

The focus is clear.

Moving away from just "providing services"
→ toward support that's expected to help you get somewhere

Not just filling hours, but helping you build:
⭐ skills that stick
⭐ routines that work
⭐ independence on your terms

The gap is what's being clarified.

If you're in Far North Queensland and want support built around where you're actually heading, we're here. 💚

We're growing, and that means we get to welcome more amazing people to the team 🌿

What we're looking for:
✨ Someone who takes pride in their work
💚 Reliable, respectful, and genuinely kind
🏡 Experience with cleaning is a bonus, not essential
💙 Able to obtain a blue card and yellow card
📍 Based in Cairns and has own car

Can I use my NDIS funding for a gym membership?

Short answer: sometimes, but not in the way most people think.

The NDIS doesn’t fund gym memberships for general fitness.

But if it’s clearly linked to your disability and capacity building, it can be funded.

For example:

✅ A program designed by a physio or exercise physiologist
✅ Hydrotherapy for mobility, pain, or recovery
✅ Structured support to build strength and independence

What usually won’t be funded:

❌ A standard gym membership
❌ General group fitness classes

The key question the NDIS asks is:
Does this support help you manage your disability beyond what’s considered “everyday”?

This is where people get stuck.

It’s often not about the activity itself, it’s about how it’s recommended, documented, and justified.

That’s where support coordination comes in. We help you understand what’s reasonable and what evidence you need to actually get it across the line.

Got something in mind and not sure if it’ll be approved? Send us a message. 💚

We talk about 'Choice and Control' a lot in the NDIS world, but what does it actually feel like? 🤔

To us, it’s not about ticking boxes or choosing between Agency or Self-Managed. It’s about the power to decide that today is a 'beach day' or that you want to learn to cook your favorite laksa. Choice is the foundation of an enriched life.

What’s one choice you made this week that made your heart sing?

MYTH: Family support doesn't count.

Actually, the NDIS is built around it.

The NDIS recognises that family, friends, and community are a natural part of your life. They’re not asking you to pretend those people don’t exist or don’t help you.

What the NDIS funds:
What your informal supports can’t “reasonably and sustainably” provide.

What this means in real life:
Your mum helping with dinner sometimes doesn’t mean you lose funding for meal support.
Your brother giving you a lift occasionally doesn’t reduce your transport budget.

What matters at reviews:
Being honest is important.
But so is making sure your situation is properly understood.

Occasional help is very different to ongoing, reliable support.

Every situation is different, and getting clear on your supports can make a real difference to your plan.

If you’ve ever been unsure how to explain your situation in a review, our team at Peppermint Lane Services are here to support you through these conversations 💚

You don’t need a referral to speak with a support coordinator.

You’re in control of who supports you.

Support coordination isn’t just check-ins. It’s about helping you understand your plan, connect with the right providers, and get real value from your funding.

If you’re in Far North Queensland and want to see what that could look like for you, send us a message. 💚

Ever felt like you weren't making the most of your support hours?

Here are three things you can ask your support worker to help with this week:

✅ Planning your week so appointments and tasks don't all pile up at once
✅ Trying something new you've been putting off (yes, even if it feels small)
✅ Setting up your space so daily routines actually work for you

Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest difference in how your week flows.

Our services across Far North Queensland are here to help you use your hours in ways that matter to you. What would make your week easier? 💚

You can feel it when someone is truly present during a support shift.

Fully listening.
Picking up on what matters.
Right there with you.

It changes the whole experience.

At Peppermint Lane, presence isn't optional. It's how we show up for every shift, every time. 💚

04/04/2026

"I don't feel like I have to explain everything anymore."

That's usually when things start to click.

Not because something big changed.
But because the support relationship did.

When your support worker knows you (your routines, your preferences, how you communicate) things naturally become easier.
Less repeating.
Less explaining.
More just... living.

That familiarity matters more than people realise.

When support workers stay consistent, participants spend less time re-teaching and more time actually focusing on their goals.

And that's what we're here for.

Support that fits into your life. 💚
