Happy World Teacher’s Day! 🌍 👩‍🏫

As an Occupational Therapist, I’ve been fortunate to have worked with so many incredible teachers in our schools who are doing their best to support all students to thrive, and love learning.

I still remember two main teachers in my primary and secondary years, Mrs Jenkins (Mount View P.S) and Ms Dickson (MacRob) who made such a positive impact to my life and inspired my interest in Sciences and Biology….

Thank you the teachers who go above and beyond to ensure the inclusion of all children of all abilities and strengths! 🌟

Great day out today with the Teens Group as we ventured into the city.
A highlight was the ACMI at Federation Square with its interactive displays and video games!
Highly recommend ACMI if you’re looking for a fun and free school holiday activity.

The NDIS Price Guide dropped this week and there have been significant changes proposed to begin on July 1st.
Allied health providers all over the country have been advocating hard for families and children that we work with in the community because we fear for what will happen if therapy supports are no longer accessible for children who need them.

As a small private practice, if this goes ahead this will impact whether I’m able to continue to provide visits at home and schools.

Please complete the survey below if you can to help the NDIA understand, and help strengthen our voices.

The NDIS have released the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, which start on the 1st July 2025.

The biggest change for families is that the NDIS has cut the travel price for allied health therapists to half the therapy rate. There is also a limit on how much travel time therapists can claim.

As a result, many therapists are now working out if they can continue to offer therapy at home, kindergartens, or schools.

The best thing to do is to contact your children’s therapists to ask if they will still travel to you.

🔹Have your say🔹

ACD is very concerned about this change. It is best practice for children to see therapists at home, kinder, school and other community settings. We know for many children and families it is not possible to get to clinic-based services.

We are raising our concerns with the NDIS. You can help.

Let us know what it will mean for your child and family if your child's therapist can’t travel to see you.

Please complete this short survey: Survey has now closed, thank you to the hundreds of families who completed the survey. Read our comment below for what we heard.

How beautiful are the Autumn leaves .. we got creative today by scooping the leaves into large sandpit shells.. instant sensory activity with babies and children playing with the leaves by squeezing, scooping with a shovel, and exploring the textures! Nunawading Toy Library Inc.
Always lovely to see parents and grandparents and their children joining us at the Stay and Play! 🍁
