Disabled people deserve dignity.

This Saturday, we’re standing together as part of the Protect Our NDIS Alliance - National Day of Action.

Recent proposed changes to the NDIS aim to tighten eligibility and control costs, which has raised serious concerns across the disability community about access to essential supports.

This is a peaceful protest to raise our voices and advocate for a system that SHOULD put people first.

📅 Saturday 9th May
⏰ 1:00PM
📍 AWARE Centre

We are calling for:
- Fair and accessible support
- A system that works for people, not against them
- Respect, dignity, and real consultation with the disability community

If you or someone you love relies on the NDIS, then this should matter to you!

Come along, stand together, and help make sure our voices are heard.

Today, we pause to remember.

On ANZAC Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served, and those who continue to serve our country.

At AWARE, we stand in respect and gratitude. We acknowledge not only the service of our veterans, but also the strength of their families and communities.

This day reminds us of the importance of connection, compassion, and support, values that guide everything we do.

Lest We Forget. 🌺

Supporting a young person with developmental disability can feel overwhelming - but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

- What is Administration?

- and much more!

You'll also receive digital resources to help take the stress out of planning for the future. 😌

This is the part people don’t see.

The roles you never trained for.
The things you just figured out… because your child needed you.

We see you.

WHAT SENSORY OVERLOAD CAN FEEL LIKE

Everyone experiences the world through their senses.
For some people, especially those who are neurodivergent, everyday environments can feel overwhelming.

Sensory overload can be triggered by things like:
🔊 Noise
💡 Bright lights
👥 Busy spaces
🤲 Touch
👃 Smells

It can feel like:
• Being “too much”
• Anxiety or shutdown
• Needing to step away
• Trouble focusing or coping

💙 How you can help:
• Be patient
• Offer a quiet space
• Reduce noise and distractions
• Ask what they need

Small understanding makes a big difference.

Today, on 2 April 2026, World Autism Day, we come together to recognise, celebrate and honour the incredible individuals within our autism community.

This year’s theme, “Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value,” reminds us that every person deserves to be seen, heard, respected and supported, just as they are.

At AWARE Group, we are proud to stand alongside our families, children and individuals who show us every day the strength, uniqueness and beauty of different ways of thinking and experiencing the world.

We see you.
We value you.
We celebrate you.

Let’s continue to “creating a community of inclusion”, understanding and kindness where everyone feels they belong.

💙 Today and every day, every life truly has value.
