Emma Myers interviews NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister about the new NDIS assessment process, foundational supports and the Thriving Kids program. Plus, ACT Official Visitors with Dwayne Cranfield. 

Lisa Cox is a former advertising professional that had the world in front of her… she wasn't born disabled, but a moment at an airport changed her life forever. The representation of people with disability in advertising and marketing still has a long way to go. People are so blinkered in their approach, but Lisa is a strong advocate for those in power to understand that there is a major missed opportunity to talk about this. We are a diverse community, and we need diverse images, people, and views moving forward. It makes good business sense to do this. Lisa is doing a PHD focused on improving employment outcomes for disabled people. The social, economic, and financial results have proved to be of great benefit when a diverse representation is used. This includes underemployed, medial tasks and improving the opportunities and attitudes of those who have an opportunity to work with a disabled person. "We are not all buying wheelchairs and prosthetic legs... we are buying cat food, cars, lunch etc." We got talking about some of the positives of the NDIS, game changing experiences whilst fully aware of the negative commentary and those looking to take advantage of the system. Lisa is a beautiful person who is energised, motivated, and driven to make a difference. Her media engagements have been wide and vast but one gets the feeling that this is just the beginning.

In this episode, Paralympian, author, and advocate Don Elgin joins Peta to explore what true connection means within the NDIS and beyond. After representing Australia at three Paralympic Games and winning four medals, Don turned his focus to advocacy. As Head of Events at One Community, he now leads more than 120 networking events each year, connecting participants, carers, and providers to improve outcomes across the sector. Peta and Don discuss how tools like Kismet’s Care Index are exposing service gaps, why transparency matters for a fairer NDIS, and how regional communities can become more inclusive. They also look ahead to the Australian Disability Service Awards, presented by One Community and Kismet, held on Thursday 13 November at The Pullman Albert Park in Melbourne.

We sit down after a long day to unpack a week where a 30-minute hydrotherapy session brought relief, the weather kept us indoors, and Oakland leaned hard into the comfort of screens and familiar routines. Rather than fight it, we explore why control, predictability, and co-regulation can be smart strategies when a child's world is filled with packed boxes and looming travel plans.We get personal about the daily school run for Lacey and the meltdowns that come with transitions: the countdowns that sometimes help, the moments that don't, and the practical safety steps that keep everyone secure. Paige breaks down why static visuals and tabletop tasks trigger Oakland, offering a different lens for therapists and educators—lighten language, reduce direct demands, and protect autonomy wherever you can. We also talk about weekends, nature, and why water usually eases his nervous system, while staying honest about the days it doesn't.Amid family recalibration, Paige reveals The Inclusion Collective—an accessible, privately funded membership for carers seeking practical training and genuine connection. Expect live group education on NDIS reviews and school systems, clarity connection calls for questions and body doubling, masterclasses from diverse voices, and an active chat that doesn't expect perfection. It's built to meet real carers where they are and make support feel possible.https://inclusiveoak.com.au/ danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

In this episode, Nacre Consulting coaches Chantelle Robards and Layland Webb unpack why Allied Health businesses must move beyond a single funding source—and how to do it without derailing your core services. They cover the immediate push factors (e.g., Thriving Kids, support needs assessments, therapy guideline changes), then map out pragmatic steps to assess exposure, widen revenue pools, and steady operations through the next 12–24 months of reform. You'll hear clear, objective moves—from in-house skills audits and adjacent offers to business-to-business/government packages and a minimum viable product approach that gets new services earning sooner. Topics covered on NDIS reforms, the urgency of diversification, and business strategy: The Urgency of Diversification – A clear-eyed look at the specific NDIS reforms (Thriving Kids, Support Needs Assessments, new therapy guidelines) that are forcing business owners to rethink their reliance on a single funding stream. Assessing Your Risk & Auditing Your Strengths – Discover the first critical steps: calculate your business's true financial exposure to NDIS changes, then conduct an internal skills audit to uncover profitable service opportunities already within your team. Actionable Growth Strategies – Explore practical ways to expand your offerings beyond 1:1 therapy, including moving into new markets (B2B/B2G), embracing the “Minimum Viable Product” concept to launch new programs faster, and adopting the agile mindset needed to thrive through change.

Send us a textEver watched a child light up at the zoo, then shut down at the hospital and wondered how to bridge those worlds with care, dignity, and actual access? We dive into a week that held both: a quiet bus at Monarto where curiosity bloomed, and a clinical setting where pushing past tolerance backfired. Along the way, we unpack the practical tools that make community life possible for neurodivergent kids, from hydrotherapy wins to the much-debated disability stroller that functions as a lifeline.We share how unschooling shows up in real time: learning differences between apes and monkeys on the move, noticing the iPad as a regulator rather than a villain, and prepping for transitions when the water slides are closed but the pool is still calling. At home, we're packing up to rent the house and planning a lap around Australia: tag-teaming weekends, leveraging ADHD hyperfocus, and keeping eyes on a future with more freedom and family time. Our daughter's school fatigue gets a humane reset with later starts, backed by a supportive teacher and simple, clear communication.The heart of the conversation is nervous system literacy. One parent often becomes the safe base, the other the action signal. Naming these roles reduces blame and power struggles, and it guides who should lead what-especially during transitions. We also pull back the curtain on NDIS knockbacks that label strollers as “restrictive practice,” how we used a Variety grant to fund a purpose-built disability stroller, and what to do when the first device can't withstand meltdowns or strength. Think durable gear, sensory shielding, and realistic logistics that keep outings possible.Medical trauma needs careful handling. We share scripts that protect capacity- sending videos ahead, setting no-engagement boundaries, and calling time when a clinician pushes a child past their limit. The result isn't perfect compliance; it's sustainable care and trust for the next visit. If you're navigating similar terrain-unschooling, access, advocacy, and family alignment-you'll find strategies you can use today. If the conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the validation, and leave a review so more families can find these tools. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

The “Thriving Kids” announcement has sent ripples of uncertainty through the paediatric Allied Health sector. Let's cut through the noise to discuss what the proposal really means for you as an Allied Health Business Owner. We break down the timeline, the political drivers, and the critical details that are still up in the air. Chantelle Robards (Speech Pathologist and NDIS specialist coach with deep policy and provider-side experience) translates policy into practice: potential delivery models (e.g., commissioning through schools/ECEC, possible Medicare line items), risks to referral streams and revenue, and practical responses—scenario planning, data discipline, partnerships, diversification, and measured advocacy with peaks and local MPs. This is a must-listen for any provider wanting to stay informed, mitigate risks, and strategically position their practice for a thriving future. Topics covered on the proposed Thriving Kids program, NDIS changes, and business strategy: Understanding Thriving Kids: A clear breakdown of what we currently know about the program, the proposed timeline, and the political tensions between the Commonwealth and states that are shaping its development. Risks vs. Opportunities: A frank discussion on the potential threats to your business model (like a shift to block funding) versus the huge opportunities for growth through new partnerships, service diversification, and potential Medicare funding streams. Future-Proofing your business: Actionable steps you can take right now to prepare.

In this episode of ListenABLe, we explore the complex and often overlooked connection between disability and sexuality with guest Oliver Morton Evans, a leading disability and sexuality advocate. Oliver shares his personal story of growing up with cerebral palsy, the unique challenges of navigating intimacy, dating, and relationships, and how accessibility barriers continue to shape the lives of people with disabilities. The conversation dives into the role of sex work, the impact of recent NDIS funding changes, and the importance of advocacy to ensure equal rights to intimacy, connection, and inclusion.

Oliver Morton Evans is a passionate advocate for inclusion in dating, relationships, and intimacy. Growing up with cerebral palsy created significant barriers to forming intimate connections. In pursuit of learning intimacy, Oliver once joined a meetup group that revealed itself as a sex cult. Accessibility in both social and sexual spaces remains a major challenge. Recent NDIS restrictions limit funding for sexual services, affecting many in the disability community. Sex work can play a vital role in providing connection, intimacy, and advocacy for people with disabilities. There is a pressing need for better sex education that is inclusive of people with disabilities. Oliver has produced erotic film content showcasing disabled bodies and intimacy to challenge stigma. Advocacy continues for the right of people with disabilities to access sexual expression and services.

Phụ huynh và những người ủng hộ chứng tự kỷ cho biết, họ không hề biết về chiến lược này cho đến khi nó được công bố.
