Happy Birthday to Dan, our CFO! 🎉
The man, the myth, the legend behind deciphering every P&L, creating spreadsheets and looking absolutely gobsmacked when we pitch our next social media reel idea. 😂

He can make sense of the numbers, but some of our ideas leave him with considerably more questions.

Thank you for everything you do for SpiritAbility, Dan, and for being such a good sport along the way.

May your birthday involve plenty of Warhammer, zero spreadsheet requests and absolutely no “Dan, we just need you for a quick reel…” 🎂

A little support. A recipe you love. And first dibs on the brownies 🍪🧡💗

Independence looks different for everyone. It might be choosing what to bake, trying a new skill or taking the lead with someone beside you when you need them.

Cookies and brownies were on the menu last week with Miss W. It was such a lovely experience.

Adapting, changing and developing support strategies to each stage of your journey is something we treasure being apart of.

Your life. Your choices. Your goals.

Good support starts with understanding what matters to you.

Whether it's building confidence with everyday tasks, getting out into the community or maintaining the routines you love, your voice should always be part of the conversation.

At SpiritAbility, we believe support should fit around the person, not the other way around.

Because everyone deserves to feel heard, respected and supported to live life their way. 🧡

Yesterday, eight of our wonderful students took the next step in their careers, beginning their Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) with our good friends at OCTEC.

Over the past 12 months, we have proudly supported seven students to graduate with their certificates, alongside providing 43 First Aid certifications across our team.

We are incredibly proud of our partnership with a local education provider who shares our commitment to building confident, capable and skilled support workers. A special shoutout to Casey and Chelona, who continue to make the learning experience supportive, practical and genuinely enjoyable.

Education is something we are deeply passionate about at SpiritAbility. Beyond formal qualifications and First Aid, every new recruit completes more than 16 hours of paid onboarding and training before they step into their role.

Because investing in our people means better support, better outcomes and a stronger disability support workforce for our community.
And this is only the beginning. 💗🧡

Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend… JASON! 🧡🩷

Our resident admin officer, community connector, flyer hander outer, willing participant in questionable reels, and somehow the person who keeps finding himself involved in all kinds of SpiritAbility shenanigans.

Jason brings plenty of laughs, personality and good energy to the team, but underneath all of that he genuinely cares about the people around him and the work we do.

Thank you for being such a great sport, for always getting involved, and for making the workplace just that little bit more entertaining.

We hope you have the best birthday, Jason. Enjoy your day and prepare yourself, because we absolutely have more ridiculous content planned for you this year. 🩷🧡

Happy Birthday, legend!

NDIS changes are coming from 1 October, and we know that for participants and families, changes to funding can bring a lot of questions.

The NDIA has advised that some budgets within Social, Economic and Community Participation and Improved Daily Living Skills will reduce over the coming 12 months as plans are created, reassessed or renewed. The impact will look different for every participant, because NDIS plans continue to be based on individual circumstances, goals and support needs.

Importantly, a number of essential supports are not included in these reductions, including personal care, assistance with eating and drinking, medication support, cleaning, high intensity supports and intensive and complex behaviour supports.

At SpiritAbility, we know that behind every plan is a person, a family, a routine and a life that needs to keep moving forward.

If you are unsure what the upcoming changes may mean for your supports, speak with your support coordinator, planner or trusted provider and ask questions early.

And if you would like to talk through the supports SpiritAbility can provide across Orange, Bathurst and the Central West, our team is always happy to have a conversation. 🧡🩷

Supporting choice. Supporting independence. Supporting people to live life their way.

Still smiling after yesterday. 🩷🧡

Our Central West Disability Expo welcomed well over 100 people through the doors, and seeing the room filled with conversation, connection and community was pretty special.

Thank you to every provider, participant, family member, support worker and community member who came along and helped make the day what it was.

This photo says it all. A room full of people connecting, learning and showing up for our disability community. 🩷🧡

We are incredibly grateful.

Happy Birthday to our incredible Admin Manager, Chevie Lee 🩷🧡

The woman who somehow manages to coordinate our team, keep a million moving parts moving, answer the questions, solve the problems, and still make us laugh along the way.

Chevie is funny, selfless, kind, dependable and such an important part of the heart of SpiritAbility.

She is also the creative mastermind behind some of our most questionable reels, TikToks and photo ideas. So if you ever see human towers, backflips, spinning things, or anything that looks like it probably needed a risk assessment first, you can almost guarantee it was Chevie’s idea.

Today we get to celebrate her and say a very big thank you for everything she brings to our team, the support she gives so freely, and the impact she has on the people around her every single day.

We appreciate you more than you know, Chevie.

Happy Birthday from all of us at SpiritAbility 🩷🧡

We hope your day involves significantly fewer questions from us than usual.
