We can’t spill the beans just yet… but trust us, it’s worth the wait 😏
✨ Watch this space — all will be revealed soon! ✨

🌟 Last Week at Beyond the Spectrum — What a Ride! 🌟
From learning lifesaving skills 🦸♀️ to living our best lives, our crew had another action-packed week!
💡 Our Learning & Lifestyle legends visited Story Bank and hung out with some adorable animals 🐾 during animal therapy — because who doesn’t love a cuddle break?
🔥 We also learnt how to respond in emergencies (spoiler: staying calm is harder than it looks!), made inspiring vision boards for our futures ✨, and spiked up the fun in volleyball lessons 🏐. Oh, and the cultural cooking adventures? Let’s just say the kitchen smelt amazing (and a little confusing) 🍛🍝🥟.
🎨 The Youth Group got creative with art and gaming, proving that masterpieces come in all forms — even pixelated ones! 🎮
🌊 Weekend Warriors took on Lake Cootharaba for some water sports — we’re still drying off, but it was totally worth it!
👩🍳 Meanwhile, our Over 18s crew went full MasterChef mode in a baking and decorating competition. There were cakes, there was chaos, and there were crumbs everywhere.
💅 And in our 1:1 sessions, we practiced some serious self-care — think dress-ups, nail painting, and big smiles all around 💖
Another week, another reminder that learning, laughter, and a bit of frosting make everything better! 🎉

📝 What Clients and Families Need to Know
When booking STR: check the setting — whether it is individual accommodation or a centre/group home. The inclusions differ.
If individual accommodation: you likely pay for your own meals and transport to/from the location.
If centre/group setting: provider might include meals and some activities as part of the daily rate (if aligned with NDIS Price Limits).
Make sure your NDIS plan has the correct wording and budget for STR, and that goals / supports link to the respite need (break for informal supports OR skill building).
Ensure you separate which costs are “supported by STR funding” vs “participants’ responsibility” (meals, transport, optional activities).
Document the purpose: the stay must link to disability support needs, not just a holiday.
If using separate transport funding (in your plan) you can apply that to get to/from the STR location—but it’s not covered by STR by default.
Another year, another successful NDIS audit — and we’ve passed with flying colours once again! 💙
From day one, Beyond the Spectrum has been a registered NDIS provider, and every year we continue to meet and exceed the standards — not because we have to, but because we care deeply about the people we support and the team that makes it all happen.
A massive thank you to our incredible staff who go above and beyond every single day, and to our amazing clients and families for your cooperation, honesty, and trust throughout the audit process.
It’s your dedication, feedback, and heart that ensure we’re not just ticking boxes — we’re dotting every “i” and crossing every “t” to make BTS a safe, place and space to be your authentic selves
Here’s to continuing to raise the bar, stay true to our mission, and keep building something truly special — together. 💫

🌱♻️ Weekly Recap – Beyond the Spectrum Edition! 💦🐎
This week our crew turned into eco-friendly geniuses — Learning & Lifestyle explored renewable and recycled materials… because why buy paper when you can blend, squish, and magically create your own from the leftovers? ✨📄
Our gardens are basically their own supermarket now 🍅🥦 Supplying wholesome foods while also reminding us that yes, plants do grow faster than some of us move before our morning coffee 😅
Meanwhile…
Our 1:1 sessions have been levelling up communication skills like superheroes unlocking new powers 🦸♂️🗣️
Talking, signing, using devices, and teamwork with support aids — no message goes unheard here! 💬🤟
🐎 Our older legends saddled up and enjoyed some horse riding therapy — boosting confidence, balance and BIG smiles! Bonus points for the horses who definitely enjoyed the attention just as much 😍🐴
And over in the “Couch-to-5km Bootcamp of Doom” 🏃♀️😂
Staff and couch potatoes alike are training their little butts off getting ready for the FINAL WEEK!
If sweat was currency — we’d be billionaires by now 💰💦
PLUS…
Our Under 18s Youth Group decided to fight the heat with SPLASHES 💦⚡
Stormy weather + humidity that feels like a sweaty hug from nature? No worries — we just turned it into a water-filled adventure! 🏊♂️🌩️
🎉🎂 And of course — we couldn’t forget the BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS!
Cake was eaten, laughs were loud, and wishes were absolutely made! 🎈😄
Proud of everyone smashing goals, trying new things, and staying fabulous… even when the weather has been trying to melt us 🌞🥵
Bring on next week! 💚💙

🌧️🎃 Halloween Plot Twist = Still a Win! 🎃🌧️
Massive shoutout to our incredible BTS Team tonight! 💙 When the stormy weather tried to rain on our spooky parade (literally!), our crew pulled something amazing out of the hat to make sure no one was left disappointed.
We only made it to 3 house knocks before the heavens opened up and poured down — so the quick-thinking began! 🚗➡️🏠
Most buses headed straight back to the centre where pizzas were delivered, activities appeared out of nowhere, and the fun continued! 🍕🎲
For our clients who can’t have takeaway, the team made sure to grab fresh food — and yes, we all definitely enjoyed a little treat too! 😋 And what’s Halloween without lollies?! Buckets were filled to the brim with chocolates and sweets so no one missed out on the trick-or-treat magic 🍬✨
A huge heartfelt sorry to families for the last-minute change of plans — safety always comes first, but we are so proud that the night went from “oh no 😞” to “Hey Ally, I’ve had the BEST night ever!!” 🤩
To every single staff member who jumped in, reshuffled the night, and kept the energy high… YOU ARE ROCKSTARS! 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for always showing what Beyond The Spectrum is all about — making memories, spreading joy, and having each other’s backs 💪💙
