🙏🏽🦄 Hiring Speechies, Therapy Assistants & Admin Support! Immediate Start 🤞🏼.
Just about to put out an ad and then remembered, I know people! Looking 👀 to hire a speechie for anything they want to do - as little, as much, easy as - immediate start or can wait. Really good rates - happy to figure it out - contract, P/T, F/T, hourly - I'm really open about rates, crap at Maths & it's not the main aim of the game, but we all have to live and I'm happy to match whatever is out there +. Newbies, sorta new/old & exp'd welcome to chat. Lot's of beautiful work with awesome families, mostly located at 1 or 2 CEWA schools, some Telehealth, some helping me do support coordination (absolutely one of the most rewarding things I've ever done).
I've been working alot, basically to be NDIS compliant so that I don't have to go back to making bad choices, and have this model of service delivery that emphasises integrated collaborative care cross discipline & organisation (and everyone says they are doing, but its informal and there is zero loop, but I got tech and its cool) and I think it can be really impactful and make a huge difference in the quality of care for the people we serve.
Keen also to talk to 3/4 yr SP students (will consider mature-age 1stYr), and I might already have an admin/manager but, babies etc so I'm seeing who else in the same boat so we can live out lives without feeling like you owe someone something cos 👼🏼.
Let me know - would be so grateful! and impressed... lol x

NDIS reform needs to get a grip on reality and look at the solution: decentralisation of power towards community has a tradition, community support, strong evidence and is within reach as tech continues the massive explosion of unleashing human capacity. We are developing a model, FUSE, of decentralised decision-making (piloting with CEWA school and Curtin University), using ICF aligned protocols, standards and zero-trust architecture, leveraging existing networks like schools and local groups, to outpace red tape, putting decision-making power back in the hands of parents, educators, and community. FUSE aligns perfectly with critical challenges: 30% of NDIS plans go underused, families face 6-12 month wait times, workforce shortages in allied health, marginalised groups impacted most. Decentralisation addresses underused budgets and work shortages by scaling support via tech-enabled, community-led teams. This aligns with recent NDIA reforms emphasising evidence-based, family-centered care, offering a scalable solution that works with government to regain relevance: facilitating self-governing networks through tech compliance, standards, KYC, and zero-trust verification. This reduces administrative burdens, eliminates unnecessary registrations, and ensures secure, transparent standards—feels not just doable, but inevitable as we shift toward sustainable, innovative systems.

🌀 The NDIS’s “Reiki Effect”: Why More Not Less Fails Our Communities 🌀
The NDIS feels like a disconnected ritual, promising healing but insisting on fragmented, depersonalised care. My latest article, Reclaiming Transparency in NDIS, discusses how externalised roles like LACs and assessors undermine equity, leaving NESB and Indigenous families with 15% higher unmet needs. Large NGOs scoop up 60–70% of Indigenous-focused funds, while local heroes—small practices and ACCOs—fight for scraps.
The solution? Community-led models, using existing tech to align therapy with real lives. Join me in reimagining a transparent NDIS where every voice shapes a shared future.
