Today we hear from Shane who shares with us an important NDIS tip!

11/10/2026

A carer shouldn’t have to be everything.

The organiser.
The advocate.
The appointment keeper.
The problem solver.
The person remembering every detail.
The one holding it all together.

And yet, so often, that’s exactly what carers do.

This National Carers Week, from all of us at M&A Support Services, we just want to say thank you.

Thank you for the time you give.
Thank you for the things you notice that others don’t.
Thank you for the calls, the appointments, the advocacy, the patience, the worry, the love and all of the invisible work that happens behind the scenes.

We know caring for someone can be rewarding, exhausting, emotional and relentless, sometimes all in the same day.

So this week is for you.

To every carer supporting someone they love, we see you, we appreciate you, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do. 💜

From the M&A Support Services team, thank you.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 💜 A day to talk about mental health, to keep breaking down stigma and, importantly, to recognise that some people are carrying far more than we realise.

Recent Australian research shows that 18% of people with disability experience very high psychological distress, compared with 9% of Australians overall.

That’s twice the rate.

But behind those numbers are people. People navigating appointments, decisions, changing circumstances, complex systems and everyday life, often all at once.

It’s a reminder that good support isn’t just about getting things done. It’s about listening. Understanding. Reducing overwhelm. Helping someone feel more in control. And recognising when things are getting too much.

Mental health support isn’t an extra. It matters.

Today is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day and we’d love for you to meet Storm! Annalisa met Storm late last year when they both sat on a working group.

He is an amazing person living with Cerebral Palsy. His NDIS has been his lifeline and helped him in so many ways. He lives with his elderly mother who helps as much as she can but unfortunately has ageing issues of her own. Late last year at the NDIS review, Storm had his Support Coordination completely removed. This caused much stress and anxiety as Storm cannot navigate the system on his own. After getting to know Storm, our organisation made the decision to assist Storm by providing pro-bono Support Coordination whilst Storm waits for a review to have it reinstated.

These pics are from Animaga 2026 Melbourne. He went with his support worker from Nurse Next Door. He loved it and said it was one of his highlights of 2026.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month, a good reminder that support doesn’t always mean having all the answers.

Sometimes it’s helping make the next step feel clearer. Sometimes it’s finding the right person to call. Sometimes it’s helping someone untangle a situation that has become completely overwhelming. And sometimes it’s simply having someone in your corner who listens properly.

If you’re an NDIS participant, carer or family member and things are starting to feel too hard to navigate, speak up.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before asking for help...

Meet Susan and her gorgeous assistance dog Juno. Susan travelled from Preston by train to the office to sign our forms. Juno made it so much easier for her easing her anxiety.

We loved having Juno and it was great that a few of us were able to meet this gorgeous girl.

Imagine walking into every appointment having to tell your story again.

Explain your needs.
Explain your disability.
Explain why you need support.

Now imagine doing that for years.

For many participants and families, this is their reality. That's why building genuine relationships matters and we are here to assist and advocate for you along the way.

Everyone deserves to feel understood without having to start from the beginning every time.

What should you do when your NDIS funding is starting to run low?

It can be stressful when you still have time left on your plan and you're worried about running out of supports.

Peta shares her best advice in this reel before it becomes a bigger problem.

Have a watch and save this one for later.

It’s a bit of a mantra for us.

You’re not a number. You’re not a file on someone’s desk. And you’re definitely not just another NDIS plan.

You’re a person with things you want to do, things you need support with, good days, hard days, opinions, goals and a life that’s completely your own.

We want to know the person behind the plan. We want to listen, understand what matters to you and be someone you know is genuinely in your corner.

Want to know a little more about how we can support you? Give us a call or send us an email. We’d love to have a chat.
