It’s always fun when we get to meet new additions to the family. Lisa went out to visit Alyssa-Jane and to her surprise also met Scarlet the new puppy. So very cute!

For many people living with disability, having a puppy isn’t just about companionship. It can be life-changing. Dogs provide emotional support, help reduce anxiety, encourage routine, and bring a powerful sense of comfort and connection.

They can motivate us to get outside, build social confidence, and offer unconditional love on the hard days. Whether they’re assistance dogs or just loyal sidekicks, their impact is truly special.

And let’s be honest… those puppy cuddles don’t hurt either. 🐾

NDIS is constantly evolving and so are the needs of our participants. That’s why great support coordination isn’t just about knowing the system, it’s about being committed to staying informed, curious, and proactive.

💬 Whether it’s keeping up with legislative changes, attending training, learning from our participants, or simply asking better questions, growth is part of the job.

At M&A Support Services, we lead with experience and a willingness to always learn more because better knowledge = better outcomes.

Remember Michael? He loves singing and today he is with his support worker loving life. Michael’s new support worker has taken it to the next level. Together they explore Melbourne and enjoy each other’s company.

Michael dresses up to go out and is all smiles. Michael pulled us aside and said he has had the best week!

Thanks Karim from for all that you do.

What do we love doing when the weather is amazing? Get out in the garden of course!

Such a lovely way to enjoy beautiful days.

It’s 30 June but don’t stress…EOFY doesn’t mean your plan resets.
Unlike tax time, your NDIS plan isn’t tied to the financial year. But this is a great time to check in on a few things:

📝 How’s your funding tracking?
📆 When is your next plan review due?
💬 Are you using your supports in a way that reflects your goals?
📂 Have you kept your invoices, service agreements and reports organised?
A mid-year check-in can keep everything running smoothly so you're not scrambling later.

Need help? That’s what we’re here for.

So…..we jumped on the ChatGPT wagon and got it to create a unique poem about ADHD.
What do you think?

Today we introduce you to our awesome participant Helal!

For Helal, the NDIS has been part of his life for 4 years. Helal says the NDIS is very helpful and makes his life easier. He is able to get certain items that are essential for daily life without the worry of how much it will cost. It’s also helped him become independent with his goal to eventually live on his own.

With the help of his support coordinator Trish, Helal is able to access exactly what he needs and maximise the use of his NDIS funds.

Getting ready for your NDIS plan reassessment? Let’s make it count. ✅

Here are some powerful questions to ask yourself (and bring to your meeting) to make sure your next plan truly reflects your needs and goals:

🔹 What worked well in your current plan?
🔹 What goals did you achieve and what helped you get there?
🔹 What didn’t work as well or needs improving?
🔹 Do you want to change how your plan is managed?
🔹 Do you have any new goals for the year ahead?
🔹 Have there been any changes in your situation or are there any coming soon? (e.g. leaving school, starting work, moving out)
🔹 Do you have questions about your funding or how to better use it?

Your reassessment is your chance to reset, realign, and get the support you need for what’s next. Let us help you prepare because your voice matters.

We are so proud of you Rachael. 🙌
