Our team had a great time yesterday reflecting on the importance of self-care in a workshop run by Brett Sams from 'The Self Care Zone'.

Support coordination can be an incredibly stressful role, managing conflicting demands as well as the vicarious trauma that is common in the helping professions. We are all feeling it in the lead-up to the end of the year.

His tips for micro-self care and building this into our routines were a great reminder that you can't pour from an empty cup.

We are excited to welcome Sylvia to the team :)

Sylvia has a significant amount of social work experience in both clinical and non-clinical settings. She has been a social worker at a local psychiatric hospital, as well as at Centrelink. Not only that, but she was also previously an NDIS planner!

Please sign the petition asking for a fair review of the data on NDIS support coordination.

Many support coordination businesses are going under due to the financial constraints imposed by seven years of price freezes.

The most significant aspect of it is that support coordination is the key intermediary role within this scheme.

Without a support coordinator, many participants would not have anyone to support them to navigate it to ensure that they have their needs met.

The petition closes at midnight tonight so please consider adding your name.
