My Challenge to Every Politician and NDIS Planner

I challenge you to go sit in the homes of the families you make decisions about.
It’s easy to sit in Canberra and talk about budgets, targets, and “diverting kids from the NDIS.” But have you ever sat beside a parent who hasn’t slept properly in years because they are fighting for every single hour of support?

Therapy appointments can mean the difference between a child speaking or not speaking. Yet families are left battling, exhausted, and at breaking point some even considering surrendering their children to child safety because they cannot cope anymore.

Politicians and NDIS planners, if you want to create programs like Thriving Kids fine. But don’t just show up for the cameras. Go live with a family for at least a week. See the night-time meltdowns. Hear the tears of exhausted parents. Feel the weight of making impossible choices every single day.

Because until you do that, you don’t get it. Families are tired of being treated like numbers in a budget.

👉 Share this post if you believe families deserve to be heard, seen, and understood.

Most NDIS problems start with a weak service agreement.

A good service agreement should:
✅ Show the hourly rate and line item
✅ Include travel time, report writing, and non face-to-face work
✅ Clearly explain short notice cancellation rules (7 days for disability supports, 48 hours for non-disability supports)
✅ Outline how and when invoices will be sent

If it’s not written down, the door is wide open for disputes and overcharging.
When everyone is on the same page from the start, your funding lasts longer and there are no surprises.

Hey everyone,

I know how tough it can be for people living with disability to not only manage an NDIS plan, but also keep on top of the everyday skills that make life easier. And sometimes it’s not about therapy or formal programs it’s about the simple, practical things that build confidence and independence.

That’s why I’ve started offering one-on-one support. Drawing on my own lived and professional experience as a person with disability, I work alongside clients in real, down-to-earth ways.

Some of the ways I can assist include (but aren’t limited to):

✨ Building confidence with everyday budgeting and simple money management skills
✨ Supporting you to use public transport and get around the community
✨ Sitting alongside you with social media and online safety
✨ Assisting with routines and managing your time day-to-day
✨ Being there to support confidence in social settings and communication

💡 My support is billed under Core Supports

If you’re a Support Coordinator, Recovery Coach, or just know someone who could benefit from this type of support, please get in touch. I’m also more than happy to grab a coffee and chat about how this could help your clients.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the work you do in our community. 🙌

NDIS Support Coordinators – here’s what they really do (and don’t do).

✅ Help you understand your plan
✅ Connect you with providers
✅ Keep your supports aligned with your goals
✅ Manage your budgets so funding lasts the full plan

But they can’t:
❌ Be your nominee or make decisions for you
❌ Force you to use their own staff or their mates’ services
❌ Control every part of your life

Support coordination is about empowering you, not controlling you.

🌟 I just found out about this from my plan manager and wanted to share it with everyone…

JB Hi-Fi has an NDIS Online Order Form.
This means if you need tech or equipment through your NDIS plan, you can order directly and they’ll invoice your plan manager.

Super handy form that makes the process easier. https://form.jotform.com/222538513124853

Sharing in case it helps someone else too!
