🤟 Today is International Day of Sign Languages

In Australia, our sign language is Auslan, a vital way for the Deaf community to connect, express and belong.

✔️ Did you know that over 3.6 million Australians have some level of hearing loss?
And around 16,000 people use Auslan as a primary or home language.

Deaf Connect is doing amazing work in this space. Their Community Resources include NDIS support, guides for parents of Deaf children, resources for kids and more 👉 https://deafconnect.org.au/community-resources

For families who are just beginning their journey, or for those wanting to learn and connect more deeply, these resources can make all the difference.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has released a toolkit for engaging people with disability in evaluation.

👉🏼 Evaluations are checks that governments and organisations do to see how well their policies, programs and services are working.

🔍 Involving people with disability in evaluation ensures decisions reflect their lived experiences and what truly matters to them.

✅ The Toolkit supports the 1 in 5 Australians who identify as having a disability by helping to make sure their voices are heard and respected.

🔖 The Toolkit is part of Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031, which aims to build a more inclusive and accessible Australia.

The Toolkit includes:

1️⃣ Easy-to-follow guidance for people with disability about how to get involved in evaluation
2️⃣ Advice for evaluators and decision makers on how to be inclusive
3️⃣ Practical tools like checklists and fact sheets to support good practice

Find the toolkit here: https://www.disabilitygateway.gov.au/ads/toolkit

⚠️ One of the unfortunate side effects of doing business is disputes.

👉🏼 They are stressful, time-consuming and often costly. They can also damage your business’ reputation.

😥 Whether it’s a dispute with your client, supplier, or partner, knowing how to handle these challenges efficiently can reduce your risks and the impact on your business.

↘️ If you are facing a dispute, here are the key steps to take:

🔴 Gather Evidence: Collect all relevant documents and correspondence.

⚫ Review Contracts: These typically outline the steps to take in the event of a dispute.

🔴 Understand the Rules: Try to familiarise yourself with relevant laws and regulations.

⚫ Identify the Right Parties: Is it an individual or a corporate entity? You must confirm.

🔴 Remain Calm: Stay objective and try to view the situation from all perspectives.

⚫ Keep an Open Mind: Consider various outcomes, not just your preferred one.

🔴 Consult a Lawyer: Seek professional advice to explore your options.

Acting promptly and strategically can help resolve your dispute faster.

💛 Today is R U OK? Day, a powerful reminder to pause and check in with each other.

😊At MyCareSpace, we see first-hand the incredible lengths families go to support the people they love.

💔 We also see the frustrations, the exhaustion, and the quiet moments where it can all feel like too much.

That is why today we want to gently remind you to check in on yourself, and on someone you care about. It does not have to be big:

☕ Meet a friend for coffee or a walk
💬 Send a quick text saying “Hope you are doing alright”
👂 Or simply ask, “How are you going, really?”

Sometimes the smallest gesture can mean the world. None of us are in this alone 💛💛

Online workshops dates:
• 1 October 5.00pm – 6.00pm (AEST) for people with intellectual disability (you can bring a support person or advocate)

🎨🎶 New NDIS Price Cap for Music & Art Therapy Announced

📉 Last year, the government proposed cutting the rate for these therapies from $194 to $68 an hour. This was not implemented due to backlash from the sector.

😟 NDIS families and providers were concerned that services might disappear from the scheme.

✅ After a full review, the government has confirmed that music and art therapy are effective supports and will remain in the NDIS.

💰 The new maximum rate will be $156.16 an hour – a reduction from $194, aligning with counselling rates.

📅 This change starts on 24 November 2025.
⚠️ Therapists must be qualified with a recognised professional association to charge this rate.

📊 In 2023–24, 6,788 participants accessed art therapy and 7,217 accessed music therapy through the NDIS.

⚖️ This update is part of broader NDIS reforms aimed at slowing scheme growth and standardising provider pricing.

Get more detailed information on our resource: https://shorturl.at/N6axs

We’re waiting for more details from the NDIS—watch this space for updates! 😊

Our Story

MyCareSpace is an online community that creates meaningful connections for people living with a disability so they can build “extra” ordinary lives.

We do this using our national NDIS Provider Directory which has over 13,000 NDIS registered providers listed and searchable using NDIS support category, key word and post code filters. A separate interface exists for Support Coordinators and Local Area Coordinators enabling them to search for services and providers using NDIS Support Categories.

We create meaningful connections via our evidence based Resources which have a strong focus on sharing NDIS related information that builds capacity using simple plain English. Our webinars are hugely popular and tackle big topics like “Autism and the NDIS” and many, many more.
