We’re proud to be part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower network! 🌻

Not all disabilities are visible. Some, like autism, anxiety, chronic pain or hearing loss, are hidden and may not be instantly recognised.

By joining this global initiative, we are helping make the invisible visible. Staff across our customer contact centres, libraries, and community venues are now trained to support Sunflower wearers.

🌻 If you or someone you know lives with a hidden disability, you can pick up a Sunflower lanyard from any Council customer contact centre.

Together, we’re building a more inclusive Sunshine Coast – where everyone feels welcomed, respected and understood. 💛

Not all disabilities are visible.

The Sunflower is a simple way for people with non-visible disabilities to discreetly share that they may need a little extra time, understanding or support in public spaces.

You might see someone wearing a Sunflower lanyard, badge or wristband, now you know what it means.

The Annual Pricing Review 2024-25 has been released.

We have introduced pricing changes to ensure participants are not charged more than any other Australian for their supports.

Data has confirmed that people with disability have been paying ‘NDIS premiums’ for certain therapies, while those same services are being delivered broadly to other Australians at lower rates.
