The summer holidays should be relaxing but sometimes the pressures of keeping everyone happy and entertained can be exhausting for parents. It can also be expensive. One of the best ideas we have come across is a Mystery Activity Box.

Before the school holidays begin, use small pieces of paper to write down activities you would like to do as a family and place them in a box. You can choose to do this yourself or ask the kids to get involved. Then, during the holidays when you hear “I’m bored” or you don’t have any plans for the day, do a lucky dip into your Mystery Activity Box.

Some low cost but fun activities for your Mystery Activity Box include:
- Making a cubby house using old blankets or sheets and the outdoor table
- An at-home movie marathon with pre-selected movies to prevent arguments
- Make your own ice-cream, lemonade or fresh pasta day
- Plant some vegies in a pot or empty garden bed so you can watch them grow over the holidays
- Go to the beach or local swimming pool
- Take a picnic to a park you haven’t visited before

December is a big month for many faiths. There is Christmas for Christians, Rohatsu (Bodhi) Day for Buddhists and Hanukkah for people of the Jewish faith, just to name a few. With this in mind, get crafty with the whole family and spend today making gifts and cards for the people you care about. If the weather is nice, make your gifts outside where paint and glitter are easier to clean up. If the weather is bad, perhaps chocolate or biscuit making could become the ideal gifts to give.

🌟 Exploring NDIS Coverage 🌟

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is designed to cater to a diverse range of impairments, going beyond past limitations. From physical disabilities to psychosocial or mental health challenges, the NDIS aims to address disabling aspects of our environment, ensuring everyone can fully participate in society. The NDIS is encouraged to consider the disabling aspects of an impairment rather than sticking to rigid categories.

When applying for the NDIS, showcasing chronic or permanent impairments associated with your disability is often required. However, if your disability is psychosocial, the traditional approach might not align with your goal of full recovery. The NDIS understands this and has introduced a psychosocial stream for those seeking alternative pathways. Whether it's through demonstrating existing services or embracing new perspectives, let's support each other on the path to inclusivity and empowerment.

05/12/2023

Wondering about NDIS age limits? 🤔 If you're applying, remember the age range is 6 to 65. If you're over 65 with a disability, the aged care system can help you with your needs. 👶 Little ones under 7? They might qualify for Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI).

Got questions? 📞 Contact your Support Coordinator, Local Area Co-ordinator, NDIS Contact Centre or the Healthcare Request team.

International Day of Persons Living with Disability began in 1992 with the aim of raising awareness of the challenges and rights of people living with disability. This Day also promotes the many benefits gained when we provide an inclusive and welcoming society that values everyone. We encourage you to celebrate this very important day.

Confused about your NDIS funding? Let's break it down!

The NDIS supports activities that help you fully engage in life, from education to health services. But what's considered "reasonable and necessary"?

✅ Must be related to your disability
✅ Value for money
✅ Likely to work for you
✅ Account for existing support
❌ Exclude unrelated daily living costs

Consider: Does it align with your goals? Increase independence? Boost community participation? Develop your capacity?

What a way to end the week! We all have special talents, although they may not be fully appreciated by others. That’s what makes today so fun. Why not celebrate Unique Talent Day by arranging a talent contest at home or work.

Let those dad joke comedians tell all the bad jokes they want for 5 minutes. Invite those loud singing neighbours or co-workers to perform their favourite song. Ask anyone you know who is passionate about a pastime, regardless of skill level, to perform at your special Unique Talent Contest.

Let’s make it a day where everyone is a winner and participation is the prize.

In 1998 a group of ‘kindness organisations’ got together to begin World Kindness Day. Ideally, we wouldn’t need a day like today but if you or a family member is living with disability, you’ll understand how cruel and thoughtless people can be. Let’s celebrate today by committing to kindness. Smile at strangers, give up your seat in a crowded bus or train and tell people your act of kindness is your way of celebrating World Kindness Day.

📣 Why do NDIS plan goals really matter?

NDIS plan goals are important because they directly impact the funding you receive and your journey toward greater independence and a fulfilling life. 🌟

✨ Your goals are unique and tailored to your specific support needs and aspirations. They can be short-term or medium to long-term objectives. Whether it's increasing independence at home, enhancing your health and well-being, expanding social and community participation, maintaining relationships, reconnecting with loved ones, or pursuing further education and employment, your goals shape the path toward your best life.

💰 Funding within your NDIS plan is linked to achieving these goals. As you progress toward your objectives, the allocated funding helps you access the necessary support and services to overcome challenges, develop new skills, and reach important milestones.

🔄 It's important to remember that your goals aren't set in stone. If at any time you feel they are not meeting your current needs or aspirations, the Plan Reassessment meeting provides an excellent opportunity to adjust them. Your evolving needs and aspirations are considered to ensure your NDIS plan remains aligned with your journey and desired outcomes.

Let's work together to make your NDIS plan goals a reality and empower you to live a life that truly reflects your dreams and aspirations! 🌻💙

It’s known as the race that stops the nation and is one of the world’s most famous horse races. Melbourne Cup Day is a public holiday in Melbourne but the rest of the country celebrates by having a long lunch. In fact, at 3pm Australia goes quiet as everyone who can, pauses to watch this world famous horse race.
