Little legend!

I've had the privilege of silently seeing this lad go about his fishing and what can I say other than he is such a lovely dude.

If you can contribute anything PV Family please do, every spare buck adds up.

Have a great week.

COMMUNITY APPEAL FOR A FAMILY..

We urgently need your support to raise funds for a vital cause - purchasing a specially equipped van that will change the life of one of our young super anglers, Tom. Tom was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at the age of two but has continued to get out there and live the best life he possibly can.
DMD is a progressive disease, relentlessly affecting all the muscles in the body, from the ones that enable breathing to those that support the spine. Now he is getting bigger, it’s not safe for his parents to move Tom in and out of his power wheelchair so they are trying to get together enough money to buy a much-needed specialised van. Your generosity will enable Tom to continue living his life with the same spirit, joy, and passion he has always displayed, despite the challenges presented by DMD. Together, we can make a huge difference in the life of this legend and ensure he still gets out there to do what he loves most – wetting a line!
Attached is a flyer with more details or you can contribute directly to Tom’s cause by making a donation by following the go fund me link below.

Feeling pretty humble right now..
Awesome Anglers lost approximately 80% of our gear in the floods as did so many others..
It was tough going but we are FNQ STRONG! McConnell and David Shell from Project Voyager Support Coordination and Recovery Coaching reached out to SHIMANO Australia Fishing to see if they could help and boy did they deliver.. 4 beautiful new combos that we can put to good use as well as caps and coolers!

Thankyou so much for supporting us..
We will be upgrading all gear to Shimano this year as and when we can!!

Good morning world

When it rains it pours!

We can't seem to take a trick at the second, we are currently going under water and have lost internet with power expected to follow as the waters continue to rise.

It will be business as normal as much as possible, however if you need something urgently you can message me here and messages will sporadically arrive or you can email Travis@projectvoyager.com.au or Beth@projectvoyager.com.au for a more direct response.

I apologise for this folks as much as possible and hopefully we are back at 100% again shortly.

Kind regards

Nick

Good evening folks

And like some bloke said, Let there be light!

It appears we have had emergency power installed in the street which whilst somewhat spotty is allowing us to charge our devices.

Mobile reception remains spotty however is increased ten fold on yesterday.

All of the team should be contactable via their direct numbers from tomorrow.

Thank you all for your epic patience.

Good morning world.

Our Cairns based guys, Nick and David may at times be difficult to reach over the next few days due to weather associated with Cyclone Jasper.

We expect to be unavailable at the very least between midday today and midnight tomorrow.

There is no certainty as to what damage may occur in the next 24 hours and we will do our utmost to keep you updated.

If you have urgent contact needs please reach out to beth@projectvoyager.com.au and/or travis@projectvoyager for guidance in the short term.

To all our FNQ families and friends stay safe today

In the context of the NDIS framework, the roles of a Psychosocial Recovery Coach and a Support Coordinator are distinctly differentiated, each serving specific requirements.

**Psychosocial Recovery Coaching**:

1. **Focus**: Primarily assists individuals with psychosocial disabilities stemming from mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

2. **Approach**: Recovery Coaches collaborate with participants to attain an optimal state of social, emotional, and personal well-being, empowering them to establish and achieve goals pertinent to mental health, social integration, community involvement, and personal development.

3. **Responsibilities**: This encompasses the development of coping strategies and skills for goal attainment, alongside providing emotional support, guidance, and motivation. Recovery Coaches also play a pivotal role in reviewing and implementing Recovery Plans, coordinating with the NDIS, family members, carers, and service providers.

4. **Availability**: They are accessible beyond conventional office hours, providing support during evenings or weekends as required.

5. **Qualifications**: Recovery Coaches are required to possess qualifications in Mental Health and/or Peer Work or lived experience with work experience under the NDIS., with experience in supporting participants who have primary psychosocial disabilities.

**Support Coordination**:

1. **Focus**: This service is designed for all eligible NDIS participants, aimed at facilitating their effective navigation and utilisation of their NDIS plans.

2. **Goals**: It empowers participants to make informed decisions regarding support services, manage their plans effectively, and achieve personal objectives.

3. **Role**: Support Coordinators assist participants in comprehending their NDIS plan, identifying their needs and goals, and coordinating with service providers to ensure receipt of appropriate support.

4. **Responsibilities**: Tasks include identifying permissible charges by providers, managing service agreements and bookings, addressing obstacles to accessing support, making requisite alterations to NDIS plans, and providing reports to the NDIA. Furthermore, they collaborate closely with the participants' families and support workers to enhance their independence in making decisions about support services.

In summary, while both roles contribute to assisting individuals with disabilities, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is more specialised, concentrating on the recovery journey and well-being of those with psychosocial disabilities. Conversely, Support Coordination provides broader assistance, aiding participants in comprehending and managing their NDIS plans and facilitating connections with suitable services.
