The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing wants your feedback on new Framework Planning and NDIS Supports.

The consultation focuses on four new NDIS rules for new framework planning:

• how the NDIS will understand a participant’s support needs
• how reasonable and necessary budgets will be developed
• how a participant can use their plan
• how a new framework plan can be changed

The consultation is open to people with disability, families, carers, advocates and disability organisations.

There are Easy Read resources and different ways to have your say: https://consultations.health.gov.au/disability-and-carers-group/nfp-ndis-supports/

Consultations closes on Wednesday 14 October.

Familiar things feel safe because your brain knows what to expect — even if what you’re expecting isn’t actually good. That’s why people stay in routines, relationships, or environments that drain them. Not because they’re fulfilling, but because they’re predictable.
Growth often feels uncomfortable precisely because it’s unfamiliar. It asks you to step into situations where you don’t have a script yet.

Jumping out of the water requires first acknowledging it's hot — and that acknowledgement is painful. It means admitting time has passed, harm has occurred, or a situation you've invested in is not okay.
Acceptance of the discomfort of seeing clearly is often the hardest step.

This is probably the most pervasive myth about invisible disabilities, and it causes real harm.
Disability is not about whether you can do something. It's about what it costs, how sustainable it is, and what you lose in the process of making it look okay.
What others see is the output, not what it took to produce it.

Avoidant attachment style is a pattern of relating to others that develops when early caregivers were consistently emotionally unavailable, dismissive, or unresponsive to a child's needs. Over time, the child learns that relying on others leads to disappointment, so they adapt by becoming self-reliant and suppressing emotional needs.
Avoidant patterns can also shift over time — particularly with self-awareness, therapy, or consistent experience with a secure partner.

Behind every challenge is a story.

When we pause to understand the why, we create space for empathy, connection, and real support.

Not every behaviour is meant to be “fixed” — sometimes it’s meant to be understood.

✨ Today’s reminder: lead with curiosity, not judgment.

Disability isn’t something that needs to be “fixed” in a person — it’s often the environment, attitudes, and systems around them that create barriers.

At its core, inclusive support means:
✨ Listening to lived experience
✨ Adapting environments, not people
✨ Creating spaces where everyone can participate and belong

Because real inclusion happens when we remove barriers — not when we expect people to overcome them alone.

✨ Positive Behaviour Support focuses on:
• Understanding the why behind behaviour
• Building skills for communication and independence
• Creating environments where people can thrive

Because real support isn’t about control — it’s about connection.
