🇦🇺 DID YOU KNOW? 🇦🇺

ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday in 2026… which means some states get an extra public holiday!

👉 In NSW, WA & ACT:
Both Saturday 25 April AND Monday 27 April are public holidays.

👉 In VIC, QLD, SA, TAS & NT:
Only Saturday 25 April is observed, with Monday operating as a normal business day.

This is super important when planning supports, bookings, and staffing across state lines 👀

⚠️ Please make sure you check with your Plan Manager or Support Coordinator that you have enough funding available if you’re needing Public Holiday supports.

If you’re unsure how this might impact your services, feel free to reach out 💛

🤟 Auslan Day

Today is Auslan Day, recognising the language and culture of the Australian Deaf community.

Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is the primary language used by many Deaf and hard-of-hearing people in Australia. It is a rich visual language with its own grammar, history, and cultural significance.
Auslan Day highlights the importance of accessible communication, inclusion, and recognising Auslan as a vital part of Deaf identity and culture.

It is also a great reminder of how important it is that everyone can access information, services, and opportunities in ways that work for them.

Today we celebrate Auslan, Deaf culture, and the power of language to connect people. 🤟

🥕 Community Resource

We know the rising cost of groceries and living expenses is affecting many people in our community. If you or someone you know needs a little extra support, there are some wonderful local services available.

One of these is 12 Baskets Outreach, which provides frozen meals, fresh produce, bread and food support to people doing it tough across the Gold Coast region.

Their outreach program helps hundreds of people each week, delivering food to families, community centres, caravan parks, and people experiencing hardship.

If you are struggling or know someone who may benefit from this support, it may be worth reaching out or learning more about the service.

Supporting each other is what community is all about. 💛

⏰ Daylight Saving Ends Soon

Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, 5 April 2026.

At 3:00 AM, clocks will move back one hour to 2:00 AM.

That means:
🕰 Clocks go back one hour
🌅 Brighter mornings
🌙 Darker evenings
😴 And the bonus… one extra hour of sleep

If you have NDIS supports, appointments, or shifts scheduled, it may be helpful to double check the time with your providers or support workers to avoid any confusion.

Don’t forget to update your clocks before going to bed Saturday night! ⏰

🐣🌸 Easter Long Weekend Reminder

The Easter long weekend is coming up, which is a wonderful time for many people to relax, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy a little break.

Some services, businesses, and community supports may operate on reduced hours or public holiday schedules across the Easter period. If you have NDIS supports, appointments, or community activities planned, it may be helpful to confirm times with your support workers or providers.

We hope everyone has a safe, restful, and enjoyable Easter long weekend filled with connection, kindness, and maybe even a little chocolate! 🍫🐰

From all of us at Grow Your Abilities, Happy Easter! 🌷

🧩 World Autism Awareness Day

On 2 April, we recognise World Autism Awareness Day, a day dedicated to increasing understanding, acceptance, and inclusion for autistic people around the world.

This year’s theme, “True Colours,” encourages everyone to celebrate neurodiversity and recognise that every person experiences the world in their own unique way. Autism is part of the natural diversity of human minds, and embracing these differences helps build stronger, more inclusive communities.

At Grow Your Abilities, we are proud to support many autistic individuals and families. We believe in creating environments where people feel understood, respected, and empowered to live authentically as themselves.

Today is a reminder to listen, learn, and celebrate the strengths and perspectives of autistic people.

🧩 Wear it. Share it. Live it.

🏳️‍⚧️ International Transgender Day of Visibility

Today we recognise International Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate transgender and gender diverse people while raising awareness of the experiences, challenges, and contributions of the transgender community.

Visibility helps create understanding, acceptance, and safer communities where people can live authentically as themselves.

At Grow Your Abilities, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported for who they are. Diversity makes our communities stronger, and inclusion ensures that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Today we stand in support of equality, acceptance, and visibility for transgender and gender diverse people. 🏳️‍⚧️💙

💡 Tip of the Month: Plan Rollovers and Reviews
As your NDIS plan approaches its end date, you may receive a letter, email, or phone call from the NDIA advising that your plan will be automatically rolled over for another period.

If you do receive a rollover notice, please let us know so we can review your plan together and make sure the funding still aligns with your current supports and goals.

If you do not receive a rollover notice, it usually means the NDIA may be planning a plan reassessment or review instead. In this case, it is important to start preparing early.

We recommend beginning preparation 2–3 months before your plan ends. This allows time to gather supporting evidence such as:

• therapy reports or progress updates
• examples of progress toward your goals
• areas where supports may need to increase
• recommendations for equipment, therapy, or additional supports

If you receive any communication from the NDIA, please forward it to our team so we can support you through the process and ensure everything is prepared in time.
