NDIS WA Community Advisory Council is Established!

The NDIS WA Community Advisory Council has been established to advocate for Western Australian NDIS participants and provide valuable advice on scheme performance, access, and participant experience. This marks a huge step toward ensuring an inclusive, effective, and sustainable NDIS for all – including those in regional and remote WA.

The 18-member council includes 12 incredible community representatives and 6 government members. Among the inaugural members is Julie Carr, Executive Chair of Early Start Australia and Everyday Independence’s Therapy Portfolio. Julie attended the first official meeting on 10 December, demonstrating her commitment to amplifying the voice of people with disabilities and making a tangible difference.

Congratulations to all 12 inaugural community members. We are so excited to see the tremendous impact this council will have over the next 3 years!

🌟 What a fantastic weekend! On behalf of Early Start Australia, a huge thank you to everyone who visited us at the Source Kids Disability Expo. It was a joy to connect with families, young people, support professionals and plan-managers, sharing how our therapy services empower children, teens and families.

The opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, answer questions, and see firsthand how children enjoyed and explored the expo atmosphere reminded us of why we do this work. With so many providers, supports and options in one place, the expo serves as a bridge between families and the community of services and resources.

At Early Start Australia we believe in delivering evidence-informed, compassionate therapy - clinic-based and mobile - to help children thrive in their everyday lives. Being part of this inclusive event not only helps us build stronger relationships but also deepens our understanding of needs, hopes and possibilities across our community.

Thank you again to everyone who visited our team this weekend, and to our incredible team for bringing heart and professionalism. We look forward to continuing the conversation and building connection and impact together.

🌟 Early Start Australia Toowong welcomed local health and education professionals!

Guests joined us for a clinic walk-through, morning tea, and great conversation, including representatives from Autism Spectrum Assessment and Perform Well. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues across the sector, share insights, and highlight the ways our services can support children’s learning and development. The afternoon buzzed with curiosity and collaboration as attendees explored our clinic, asked questions, and learned more about our approach.

We loved sharing what we do, showcasing our clinic, and exploring opportunities to work together to support children and families. 💛
