KickAss Support Services

Care for a carer this National Carers Week.

More than 3 million Australians provide unpaid care to family members, friends and loved ones, including many who support people with disability. This year’s Carers Week theme, ‘Care for a Carer: Making carers visible’, reminds us that carers need ongoing support too.

You can support a carer by:

✅ Checking in and listening to how they’re going
✅ Asking what would help, and offering practical support
✅ Helping them find information and support if they need it

You can now find a new service agreement template, checklist and guidance – including easy read resources – on our website. 🤝

A service agreement is an agreement between you and your provider. It describes what you and your provider have agreed about your NDIS supports.

These resources will help you:

👉 better understand service agreements

👉 know your rights and what to look for when reviewing a service agreement

👉 be clear, along with providers, on supports being provided.

Using the new service agreement template is encouraged, but not mandatory. If you choose to use the template, it must be tailored to your needs.

Support provided early in a child’s life can make a positive impact on their development.

Thriving Kids is an improved approach to early intervention that aims to help children aged 8 and under with development delay and/or autism with low to moderate support needs.

All Thriving Kids supports will be rolled out by January 2028. The way people access the NDIS won’t change before then.

Children are naturally curious about the people around them. The way parents respond can teach them how to view disability.

Child Magazine has a guide for parents on how to navigate these conversations with honesty, kindness and respect.

We're excited to be part of the Gracemere Community Family Fair this Friday 9th October, from 3pm to 6pm at Cedric Archer Park.

Swing by for a chat about your electricity account, pick up practical energy tips and take on our "Watt's the Cost?" challenge to see if you can guess which household appliances cost the most to run. 👀

Can't make it on the day? No worries 😊 You can stay on top of your electricity account 24/7 with My Account. View bills, track your energy usage, set up handy alerts and manage your account whenever it suits you. Log in or register at ergon.com.au/myaccount.

A big thank you to The Smith Family for bringing this fantastic community event together. 💚
