👖💙 We’re skipping for science – in our own unique ways! 💙👖

This August, the Murray Darling Supports team is taking part in the Jeans for Genes – 100 Skips a Day Challenge to raise awareness and funds for research into childhood genetic conditions.

Every dollar raised supports the incredible work of the Children’s Medical Research Institute, helping the 1 in 20 Aussie kids born with a genetic disease or birth defect.

💫 While some of us are jumping into 100 skips a day, others are getting creative — think arm swings, dance moves, or anything that keeps us moving and raising awareness! Because at MDS, it’s all about inclusion, fun, and supporting a future where every child has a fighting chance.

At Murray Darling Supports, we’re here for the fun stuff and the not-so-fun stuff too — like appointments, haircuts, grocery runs and everyday errands.

Because support isn’t always about the big moments — sometimes it’s just having someone by your side when life gets a little routine. 💙

🌟 NDIS Tip Tuesday 🌟
Thinking of changing providers? Here’s what you need to know.

The NDIS is built around choice and control — and that means you have the right to choose who delivers your supports. If a provider no longer feels like the right fit (whether it’s due to availability, communication, or just not clicking), you don’t need to wait for a plan review to make a change.

✅ You can end or update your service agreement
✅ You can find a provider who better meets your needs
✅ Your budget stays the same — it just goes to someone who works for you

Whether it’s for personal care, therapy, support coordination or community access, your supports should be tailored to you — your goals, your values, and your comfort.

💡 Tip: Always check the notice period in your current service agreement before making a change. A smooth transition is key.

Need support making a switch or unsure where to start? We can help guide you through the process.

🌟 NDIS Tip Tuesday with Murray Darling Supports! 🌟

Tip: How to Choose the Right Support Providers

Choosing the right support providers can make a huge difference in your NDIS journey. Here are some tips to help you find providers that suit your needs and preferences:

✅ Research thoroughly: Check provider credentials, reviews, and experience in the supports you need.
✅ Ask questions: Don’t be afraid to ask about their approach, flexibility, and how they tailor services to participants.
✅ Consider compatibility: It’s important that you feel comfortable and respected by your providers. Good communication is key!
✅ Check availability: Make sure the provider can deliver supports when you need them.
✅ Understand service agreements: Always read and understand your service agreements before signing.

Remember, you have the right to change providers if your current support isn’t meeting your needs.

Need help finding or connecting with trusted providers? Murray Darling Supports can guide you through the process!

🌟 In-Home Supports – There's No One-Size-Fits-All 🌟

In-home supports look different for everyone — and that’s exactly how it should be. 💛

For some, it’s simply a coffee and a chat ☕ – a moment of connection in a safe space.
For others, it’s having someone to bounce off, build confidence, and try new things – like Stevie (pictured) proudly building her new desk 🛠️👏
And for many, it’s support with everyday home tasks – like Marc (pictured) making the bed and taking on the day with independence and purpose 🛏️💪

At Murray Darling Supports, we tailor our support to suit you. Whether it’s social, practical, or confidence-building — we’re here to walk alongside you and support your goals, big or small.

🌟 How STA Can Create Meaningful Experiences – Anthony’s Trip to Ballarat 🌟

Short Term Accommodation (STA) through the NDIS offers so much more than just time away from home. It’s a chance for participants to explore new places, enjoy a change of routine, and build confidence and independence in a supportive setting.

Anthony recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in Ballarat with his support worker, Teegan. The trip was filled with simple but powerful moments that made it truly special. 🧳

From the moment they arrived, Anthony was engaged in planning how they’d spend their time. He enjoyed browsing local shops, choosing meals, and having the freedom to relax on his own terms.

The trip was a mix of fun activities and meaningful connection. Anthony chose a movie to see (The Karate Kid), and before the screening, they visited the War Memorial Arch and took in the local history. Later, at the Ballarat Wildlife Sanctuary, he lit up with excitement. He chatted about the animals, took heaps of photos to share when he got home, and showed a real curiosity and appreciation for the experience.

There was also time for exploring Sovereign Hill. Anthony enjoyed stepping back in time as he wandered through the old-style buildings and panned for gold, even finding a few tiny pieces. He also watched how gold is melted down and bought a special keepsake coin to remember the adventure.
It was clear how much Anthony valued this time away. He enjoyed the chance to explore new things, have new experiences, and feel a strong sense of independence and choice.
These are the moments that make STA so important. It’s not just a break from routine—it’s an opportunity to connect, discover, and grow.
If you think STA might be the right fit for you or someone you support, we’d love to help make it happen.
