"If Support Coordinators disappear... who helps participants navigate the NDIS?"

This is a conversation our sector needs to have.

Every week, we help families understand their plans, explain funding rules, coordinate therapists and support workers, organise multidisciplinary meetings, review reports, prepare for plan reassessments, and often prevent small issues from becoming major crises.

Much of that work happens behind the scenes. Much of it is never seen.
Support Coordination isn't just about connecting people with providers. It's about helping participants understand their rights, make informed decisions, use public funding appropriately and build the confidence to navigate an incredibly complex system.

While the cost of delivering Support Coordination continues to rise, funding for these services is becoming increasingly difficult to access for many participants.

We've written a blog about what Support Coordinators really do, why this conversation matters, and what it could mean for participants if quality Support Coordination continues to decline.

Whether you're a participant, family member, therapist, provider, planner, LAC or simply someone who cares about the future of the NDIS, we'd love to hear your perspective.

Please share if you think this conversation deserves a wider audience.

Every week, we tell people "no." No, unfortunately the NDIS doesn't usually fund that. No, that recommendation isn't likely to meet the legislation. No, that invoice shouldn't be claimed. No, that's considered a mainstream support. No, your Core funding can't simply be used for anyth

The Rosie Disability Services team was honoured to attend the 4th Annual Kai-Fella Foundation Gala on 30 May 💙

Youth mental health is a cause that resonates deeply with us, both personally and professionally. Every day, we see the importance of connection, belonging, and ensuring people have the support they need to navigate life's challenges.

The evening was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Surrounded by sponsors, donors, volunteers, supporters, and community members, the room was filled with connection, hope, and generosity.

The Kai-Fella Foundation was created from unimaginable loss but has grown into something truly powerful - giving young people across WA the tools, confidence, support, and connection they need to navigate life's challenges.

Every workshop delivered, every conversation started, and every young person reached is part of Kai's legacy.

Thank you to the Kai-Fella team for allowing us to be part of such a special evening, and congratulations on the incredible impact you continue to make across Western Australia 💙

People often ask where the name Rosie Disability Services comes from.

The answer is a person who left a lasting impact on so many lives.

Rosie Disability Services was founded in honour of Leah Rosie Jennie Dobbs - a dedicated disability professional, advocate, and friend. Leah spent her life supporting others with compassion, humour, and genuine care. She believed people deserved to be heard, valued, and supported to live the lives they chose.

Like many people, Leah also faced her own mental health challenges. In honouring her memory, we remain committed to creating a world where conversations about mental health are met with understanding rather than stigma.

Everything we do at Rosie Disability Services is guided by the values Leah embodied: compassion, connection, advocacy, and putting people first.

Her legacy lives on through every participant we support, every challenge we help navigate, and every person who feels heard because someone took the time to listen.

💙 This podcast snippet shares the story behind our name and why it means so much to us.

When Daniel first engaged with Rosie Disability Services, he was entering his first NDIS plan with complex behavioural support needs and significant safeguarding concerns impacting both him and his family.

His mother was managing these challenges without a formal support network, and the priority was clear from day one - safety, stability, and building long-term capacity.

Through detailed reporting, collaboration with stakeholders, an evidence-based approach and fierce advocacy, Daniel’s needs were comprehensively presented at review.

We were incredibly proud to receive feedback from the NDIS planner stating Rosie Disability Services' report was “one of the best reports she has ever read.”

As a result, Daniel’s new plan reflects an increase of $367,400 (2,984%), ensuring the right level of funding is now in place to meet his needs.

In a sector often dominated by funding pressures and uncertainty, outcomes like this highlight what is possible when participant needs are clearly evidenced and understood.

We are now focused on engaging the right supports around Daniel and his family to strengthen safety, build capacity, and support meaningful progress toward his goals.

🥞 The Big Flip with Humdrum last week absolutely delivered!

From pancakes to proper conversations (the best kind of networking combo), it was such a great morning bringing together providers, participants, families, carers, and community members.

These are the kinds of events that remind us why collaboration in the disability sector matters so much - real connections, real conversations, and a lot of syrup involved.

A huge thank you to for hosting and to everyone who came along and made it what it was 🤝
