What are your little habits, stims, or quirks? The ones that make you feel calm, focused, or just you? Flapping hands, tapping toes, lining things up, humming your favourite tune on loop… quirks can be part of what makes each person wonderfully unique. Your rhythms, routines, your ways of being matter to us. They deserve to be supported with kindness and understanding.

This week is National Carers Week and we'd like to thank the 3 million Australians who care for a someone. Whether you're a family member, a friend, or a support worker, your care changes lives. We see your dedication, your patience, and the strength you bring to every day. You may not wear a cape, but you are most definitely a superhero.

Just a reminder: you don’t have to have it all together. Most of us are winging it...and that’s okay. Progress, not perfection. Life can be messy, weird, wonderful and support should meet you where you're at. Deep breath. One thing at a time. You’ve got this. And we’ve got you.

There’s no “right” way to be you...and that’s the best part. Let's celebrate individuality in all its brilliant forms. Loud or quiet, fast or steady, organised or creatively chaotic, every person brings something valuable to the table. Support isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you shine as yourself.

Radical self-love means loving yourself... not in spite of who you are... but because of who you are. Every body, every mind, every story, deserves to feel worthy, seen, and celebrated. Living with disability doesn’t make you less. It doesn’t make you broken. It's part of you, and you are powerful. Choose kindness toward yourself. Choose acceptance. Choose joy in who you are, exactly as you are. That’s radical self-love.

This World Sepsis Day we’re bringing attention to a life-threatening illness that hospitalised 84,000 Australians in 2022-23.

Sepsis is when your body has an extreme response to an infection. People with sepsis say they feel very sick (the worst they have ever felt) and get sick very quickly.

Symptoms can include:
- difficulty breathing
- confusion
- low or no urine
- fever or chills
- rapid heart rate
- a new rash or blue, grey, pale or blotchy skin.

Any kind of infection, including influenza (flu), wound and skin infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause sepsis.

Flu activity is high right now and the risk of sepsis is highest during the peak of the flu season.

If you feel unwell or are concerned, visit your doctor or call healthdirect on 1800 022 222, even if you have already seen a doctor.

If you are very sick, go to a hospital emergency department or call Triple Zero (000).

Don’t be afraid to ask ‘could it be sepsis?’

We’ve just honoured our election commitment by passing a historic and nation-leading Su***de Prevention Bill.

For the first time ever, every single arm of government in NSW is now legally accountable for preventing su***de.

Our bill will enforce a mandatory su***de prevention plan and create two new advisory bodies, the NSW Su***de Prevention Council and the NSW Aboriginal Su***de Prevention Council to bring together those with lived experience, Aboriginal leaders, experts, and government.

It also extends accountability to government departments and enshrines a NSW Su***de Monitoring System into law to ensure transparent and ongoing reporting of suspected and confirmed su***des.

We know this isn’t going to fix things overnight but something has to be done.

So we’re doing our part to save as many lives as we can.

Living with a disability can come with extra challenges-and sometimes that includes how we feel on the inside. On R U OK? Day, we’re reminded that asking someone how they’re going, and really listening, can make a world of difference. Living with barriers, stigma, or even just the day-to-day of managing support needs can impact mental wellbeing. Everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and heard. Not just today, but every day.

Learning a new skill isn’t about perfection. It’s about exploration, growth, and giving yourself the space to try. Whether it’s cooking, art, tech, or tying your shoes with one hand, progress is worth celebrating. We love supporting people to build confidence, one small win at a time. What’s something you want to learn?

Feeling overwhelmed by the news, the noise, and the never-ending scroll? That's perfectly understandable. We want to remind you that it’s okay to pause. It’s okay to take a moment. It’s okay to come back to what grounds you. Your peace is important. Do what you need to stay steady.
