💛 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛

This month we’re shining a light on something that affects millions of people worldwide but is still so often misunderstood endometriosis.

Endometriosis is not “just bad period pain.” It’s a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body. It can cause severe pelvic pain, fatigue, digestive issues, fertility challenges, and can impact nearly every aspect of daily life.

One of the most frustrating parts? Many people wait years for a diagnosis. Too often symptoms are dismissed or normalised, leaving people to suffer in silence.

That’s why awareness matters. 💛

Endometriosis Awareness Month is about:✨ Starting conversations✨ Sharing experiences✨ Supporting those living with the condition✨ Encouraging earlier diagnosis and better treatment options

If you live with endometriosis, you are incredibly strong. The resilience it takes to navigate work, relationships, family life and health challenges all at once is something that deserves recognition and support.

This month we encourage everyone to:
💛 Listen to people’s stories
💛 Learn more about endometriosis
💛 Support friends, family members or colleagues who may be living with it
💛 Help break the stigma around menstrual and reproductive health

Awareness leads to understanding. Understanding leads to change.

To everyone living with endometriosis we see you, we hear you, and you are not alone. 💛

At Choice Support Tasmania, we walk alongside some of the most vulnerable members of our community every single day. We see their strength, their resilience, and their determination to live meaningful, independent lives. But right now, many of the people we support and many other people we read about breaking our hearts are facing an incredibly uncertain and frightening time.

Recent changes and significant cuts to NDIS plans through the National Disability Insurance Scheme are having a real and immediate impact. For participants who rely on consistent, structured support, reductions in funding don’t just mean “doing a little less” — they can mean going without essential daily assistance, losing trusted support workers, reduced community access, increased isolation, and heightened risks to health and wellbeing while making decisions about their needs Frim behind a computer!

For families, these cuts create enormous pressure. Parents, guardians, and loved ones are being forced to fill gaps that are simply not sustainable. Many are already exhausted, emotionally and physically. The fear of losing vital supports, therapies, personal care, community participation, behavioural supports, places people in desperate need at genuine risk.

We are deeply concerned about what this means not just for today, but for the long-term stability and safety of the people we support. Disability support is not a luxury. It is not optional. It is essential and necessary for us to take a serious stand against this nonsense with these cuts and putting lives in danger.

At Choice Support Tasmania, our commitment remains unwavering. We are here to:

• Support our participants with dignity and respect
• Help families navigate complex plan reviews and appeals
• Advocate fiercely for fair and reasonable funding
• Stand beside our community during challenging times

We may not control policy decisions, but we will always control how strongly we advocate, how compassionately we support, and how loudly we speak up when the people in our care are placed at risk.

To our participants and families: you are not alone. We see you. We hear you. And we will continue to fight for the supports you need and deserve to the best we can all the way

Together, we will keep pushing for a system that protects, empowers, and uplifts the very people it was designed to support.

This is normally not a post that I would like to post or write but after seeing so many people left with worry, fear and outright anger at the fact that these budgets are being cut by people who need to support the participant and then see how they are in need makes me so mad and very disappointed.

We would love to hear your story and your thoughts 💜

☀️🌊 What a Beautiful Time We’ve Been Having! 🎣🔥

Our participants have been absolutely thriving lately, and our hearts are so full watching it all unfold. 💛

We’ve been soaking up the sunshine, enjoying the fresh air, and making the most of these gorgeous days outdoors. From relaxing in the sun with big smiles and laughter, to firing up the BBQ and sharing delicious meals together it’s been all about connection, joy and living in the moment. 🌭🌞

There’s been fishing adventures filled with patience, excitement and a few proud catches 🎣 as well as exploring new places, taking in nature, and embracing that sense of freedom and discovery. Every outing has brought opportunities to build confidence, strengthen friendships, and create memories that truly matter. 🌿✨

Seeing everyone laugh, try new things, support one another and simply enjoy life is exactly why we do what we do. These moments aren’t just activities they’re experiences filled with growth, happiness and belonging.

We can’t wait for many more sunny days, shared BBQs, exciting fishing trips and beautiful adventures ahead! 💕🌅

Let’s use February to:
🌟 Start meaningful conversations
🌟 Promote inclusion in workplaces, schools and communities
🌟 Celebrate achievements (big and small!)
