To the Southern Highlands community 💙

Just to gently clarify something we are hearing a lot locally.

You don’t need to wait until an NDIS plan ends or is reviewed to change providers.

Participants can transition supports at any point during their plan, provided the support is funded and notice periods are respected.

Sometimes people stay put simply because they weren’t told they had options.

If a conversation helps clarify things, that’s always okay.

Tamworth community update 💙

To ensure we continue providing safe, high-quality Support Coordination, Little Blue Wren Services has temporarily paused new Level 2 Support Coordination referrals due to current capacity limits.

We are currently in the process of recruiting an additional Support Coordinator, and referrals will reopen once onboarding is complete and capacity has safely increased.

🔹 Existing participants are not impacted
🔹 A waitlist is being maintained
🔹 Urgent or risk-based referrals will still be reviewed

📧 Enquiries and waitlist requests: admin@lbws.com.au

Hi Southern Highlands 👋

Some of you may have seen our name popping up recently, so I wanted to properly introduce myself.

My name’s Heather, and I grew up right here in the Southern Highlands — a Hill Top kid who went to school at Bowral High — before heading off to travel Australia and a bit of the world. Life eventually brought me back to regional NSW, where I now live on a farm with my two children and run Little Blue Wren Services, a registered NDIS provider.

This is very much a family-led, local service. My sister Kylie will also be working alongside me, supporting people locally and working closely with families, schools, and allied health teams to deliver supports that are genuinely client-centred, client-led, transparent, and well coordinated.

After years working across disability services, compliance, and complex supports, I kept hearing the same things from families and participants in the Highlands:

“We just want supports that feel normal, local, and actually reliable.”
“Why are we losing so much funding out of our plan?”

That’s why I decided to bring Little Blue Wren Services into the Southern Highlands — homegrown, relationship-based supports, delivered properly and in line with the NDIS (no shortcuts, no grey areas).

We support:
NDIS participants
Families and carers
Young people and adults who want capacity-building, community access, and real-life support
Private supports (not everyone fits neatly into NDIS boxes)

If you’re just watching from the sidelines — that’s okay.
If you’re curious and want to have a chat — also okay.

No pressure. No sales pitch. No feeding ducks 🦆😉

I’m here, I’m local, and I care deeply about doing this work well.

Heather
Little Blue Wren Services 💙

This is one of the best teams to unpack this kind of information.
Good Job Team DSC

It’s the question we’ve been asking for months: what supports will be funded by Thriving Kids?

We’re getting closer and closer to the answers.

Minister Mark Butler recently published the final report from the Thriving Kids Advisory Group. While this report is technically advice to the government, the Minister is one of the co-chairs. So it’s pretty safe to assume that the Federal government endorses this vision of the program!

The final design, though, will be outlined in agreements with states and territories.

In this article, we dive deep into the Advisory Group’s model and what this might mean for NDIS eligibility.

🌈 NSW Disability Inclusion Plan 2026–2029

Easy Read | What it means for you

The NSW Government has a new Disability Inclusion Plan.

This plan explains how NSW Government services should:
• Treat people with disability fairly
• Make services easier to access
• Provide information in Easy Read
• Help people feel safe, included, and heard

The plan says that people with disability have the right to take part in their community.

Sometimes, even with a plan like this, people:
• Feel confused by government systems
• Do not feel listened to
• Cannot get the support they need
• Are unsure what their rights are

🐦 How Little Blue Wren Services can help

✔ Know what NSW Government services should be doing

Informed choice protects your plan.

Not all NDIS providers are the same.

Some providers are registered.
Some providers are independent.

Both can offer support — but they work differently.

Registered providers:
• Must meet strict quality and safety standards
• Are regularly audited
• Provide formal reporting and evidence
• Have clear complaints and safeguards

Independent providers:
• Are not audited by the NDIS Commission
• May have fewer formal safeguards
• Are not required to provide the same level of reporting

There is no “one size fits all” choice.

Understanding the difference helps protect your supports and your funding — especially at plan review.

💬 Have you ever had this explained to you?
