If a serious incident happens while you or someone you care about is receiving NDIS support, registered providers must notify us quickly.

These incidents are called reportable incidents, and they include:

- Death
- Serious injuries
- Abuse or neglect
- Unlawful or inappropriate contact
- Restrictive practices that have not been approved.

Providers who don’t notify us, or fail to do so within the required timeframe, face serious compliance action including infringement notices and fines, compliance notices, banning orders or civil penalties.

Such an important tool to ensure can be continued

At Carer Gateway, we understand that emergencies are unexpected and can happen at any time.

That’s why Carer Gateway has an emergency care plan that you can fill out and use as a resource to help you in your caring role.

An emergency care plan has all the information about the person you care for in one place, making it easier for someone else to help out if needed.

For more information and to download an emergency care plan visit: https://www.carergateway.gov.au/your-life-carer/preparing-future/preparing-emergencies/emergency-care-plan

Townsville City Council has purchased a mobile changing place facility late 2024. This facility will be located at the Strand (near Strand Park) with the intention of increasing the accessibility of Strand Ephemera (and other events) and the area generally.

The facility is locked with an MLAK which I believe has a limited uptake in the community. The facility was in position at the Strand for the first half of the year but usage data indicates no/low usage in this time.

My contact details are below if you would like more information.

This would be amazing in Townsville.

Everyone deserves access to safe, dignified and appropriate public facilities.

On Changing Places Awareness Day, we recognise the importance of accessible infrastructure for people with high support needs.

Changing Places facilities go beyond standard accessible toilets – they include adult-size changing tables, ceiling hoists, and space for two carers. These facilities remove barriers to everyday activities like shopping, attending events, or simply being out in the community.

Help us spread awareness about the need for changing places – and find your nearest facility at https://changingplaces.org.au/

With more than 167 Changing Places now open across Victoria, this work supports the Inclusive Victoria: state disability plan (2022-2026), which sets out a vision for a more inclusive, accessible and fairer Victoria.
