3 Questions to Ask Your Support Coordinator This Year 🌟

A new year is the perfect time to check in, reflect, and make sure your supports still match your goals. Here are three helpful questions to ask your Support Coordinator:

1️⃣ Are my current supports still the best fit for my goals?
2️⃣ Are there new services, programs, or opportunities I should know about?
3️⃣ How can we make my plan work even better for me this year?

Asking the right questions can make a big difference in how confident, supported, and connected you feel.

If you ever need help navigating your NDIS journey, Bunji is here to guide you every step of the way. 🧡

Learning beach safety with Wollongong Surf Life Saving! 🌊

Our Launchpad participants recently had a visit from Tim at Wollongong Surf Life Saving, who shared some really important tips on staying safe at the beach.

From understanding the flags and currents to knowing what to do in an emergency, the group walked away feeling more confident and prepared for summer.

A big thank you to Tim for taking the time to support our participants and help build essential life skills. 🧡

Community support doesn’t look the same for everyone — and that’s exactly why it matters. 🧡

For some, it’s getting out for a coffee or joining a group activity. For others, it’s one-on-one support, learning new skills, or simply having someone by their side. Every person’s needs, goals, and version of “connection” are different.

At Bunji, we’re here to make sure your support reflects you — your strengths, your routines, and the life you want to build.

No matter what community support looks like for you, we’re here to make it happen.

Teamwork in action at Launchpad! 🧩

Our Launchpad SLES participants explored different team roles and discovered why their individual strengths matter.

They took on three activities: building a paper bridge, a puzzle relay, and a desert island challenge - all designed to spark problem-solving, communication, and teamwork.

It was great seeing everyone engaged and recognising the part they play in a team.

Today is World Braille Day 📚

A day to recognise the vital role braille plays in supporting independence, communication, and equal access for people who are blind or have low vision.

Braille is part of everyday life: on signs, lifts, public transport, ATMs and so much more. It’s a reminder of how inclusive design helps everyone feel supported and confident in their community.

At Bunji, we’re committed to creating spaces where accessibility is championed and every person has the tools they need to participate fully.

Where else have you noticed braille in your day-to-day life?

Looking back on 2025 with Bunji ✨

What a year! We’ve shared so many great moments together, and we’re proud of everything our participants have achieved. Here are some of our 2025 highlights:

• Bunji Launchpad hosted two special lunches: a thank-you lunch and one for Allcare's Out & About Program.
• Launchpad participants built new skills and confidence through activities like timber projects with Bulli Woonona Community Mens Shed, The Community College (WEA Illawarra) cooking and computer classes.
• We supported important community causes, including the Golf Day with Talk2MeBro
• We got out and about with fun Bunji Experiences like the Sydney Dog Lovers Festival and Kembla Grange Races.
• And most importantly, we supported many individuals to work toward their goals and loved being part of each person’s journey.

Thank you to everyone who was part of Bunji in 2025. We can’t wait for even more connection, growth, and exciting experiences in 2026! 🧡✨
