In this week's episode, we start a conversation about Foundational Supports with Dr Erin West from SPA's Policy and Advocacy team. Erin will discuss a conceptual model that SPA are using to advocate to ensure that Foundational Supports reflect the need of the children and families speech pathologists support, and that speech pathologists working across all contexts are reflected in the model. As a member benefit, this episode has also been recorded in video format to show the Foundational Supports model as a visual conceptual representation. If you would like to follow along visually and you are a SPA member, you can find the video podcast in the Learning Hub.

Data, Design, and Desirability - represent a core framework used by experienced investors and advisors to analyze, select, and drive long-term success in SDA within the NDIS market.Data refers to the rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis that underpins every sound SDA investment decision:Current and projected demand for SDA by region, participant demographics, and NDIS eligibility trends.Vacancy rates, supply pipeline, dwelling approvals, recent sales, and rental yields.Government policy changes, pricing reviews, and NDIS funding adjustments impacting SDA income sustainability.A strong data-driven approach helps investors avoid oversupplied areas, understand realistic return scenarios, and identify growth corridors where SDA demand will strengthen over the medium term.Design means the architectural and functional quality of the SDA dwelling itself, ensuring it meets and exceeds NDIS requirements and participant expectations. Key factors include:SDA Design Category (Improved Liveability, Robust, Fully Accessible, High Physical Support).Versatility, durability, and future-proofing for changing participant needs, such as adaptable kitchens, bathrooms, and emergency features.Design excellence ensures homes attract and retain participants, maximize occupancy, and support long-term value protection for investors.Desirability captures the appeal of the SDA property for both participants and support providers, encompassing emotional, lifestyle, and locational value. Important factors include:Proximity to amenities, health services, transport, recreation, and community integration opportunities.Properties that score highly on desirability are easier to fill, experience fewer vacancies, and often attract above-average NDIS funding outcomes over time.------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fulSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

يظهر أن برنامج التأمين الوطني للإعاقة (NDIS) يواجه مفترق طرق بين الحاجة إلى إصلاحات تواكب التنوع الكبير في احتياجات أطفال طيف التوحد وبين ضرورة الحفاظ على الدعم المتواصل والمخصص لهم. الأمل معقود على إصلاحات تشاركية تستند إلى فهم حقيقي لاحتياجات العائلات والأطفال، بعيدًا عن القرارات التي تركز فقط على ضبط الإنفاق. هل هذا الإصلاح يصبّ في صالح أطفال طيف التوّحد ام برنامج التأمين الوطني للإعاقة NDIS؟

Send us a textWhat happens when the professional becomes the parent? Despite 14 years working in the disability sector, Paige Carter found herself completely lost when her son was diagnosed with autism at age two and a half. That moment sparked a powerful realization: if someone with her experience felt overwhelmed, how do families with no prior exposure to disability navigate this journey?Paige shares her family's remarkable story of discovery- how her son's diagnosis eventually led to recognizing autism and ADHD in her husband, daughter, and finally herself. With refreshing honesty, she describes this journey not as a burden but as "magic" that transformed her understanding of neurodiversity."Neurodivergent people, the way their brains operate, is just incredible," Paige explains, bringing a perspective that celebrates different ways of thinking rather than pathologizing them. As founder of Inclusive Oak, she's created the support system she desperately needed as a new autism parent- a blend of education, community, and connections she calls "the recipe for success."For parents feeling isolated or overwhelmed, Paige offers practical wisdom: find your tribe, even if that starts online; advocate confidently knowing you're the expert on your child; and recognize when you need rest without self-judgment. Her ADHD gives her "this never-ending energy source" when passionate about something, yet she's learning to honor her need to retreat and recharge when advocacy depletes her.The conversation vibrates with possibility as Paige discusses her expanding mission to make support accessible to all family members, not just mothers, at affordable rates without NDIS dependence. Her message resonates with hope: as more neurodivergent families connect and advocate collectively, we move closer to a world where neurodiversity isn't just accommodated but genuinely celebrated.Listen now to discover how finding your community can transform your neurodiversity journey from isolation to empowerment.Paige's Free Online Masterclass: https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/findingyourvoice/ danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

In this episode, Debbie welcomes back Kevin Chen from Paramount Disability Homes for a conversation about the status of the Victorian Government NDIS Housing Crisis. This major crisis is unfolding in Victoria as state government subsidies for group home support workers which have already ended at the end of 2023, have leases for these properties set to expire on 31st December 2025. This impacts approximately 5,000 NDIS participants currently residing in 600 to 700 state government-owned group homes, many of which were grandfathered into the SDA system as 'Basic' level dwellings as early as 2016, lacking modern accessibility features (not meeting IL, FA, Robust, or HPS standards). These homes have operated since pre-NDIS times (before 2013), with residents often being in their 50s and 60s, having lived there for 20-30 years with the same support workers. A significant hurdle is inadequate funding. Undertaking plan reviews for 5,000 people to get funding uplifted is a massive operational challenge, with no clear process or guarantee of success. There's a risk participants could be rejected or have their SDA funding removed entirely, especially if they are elderly, leaving them with even fewer housing options. While there is an oversupply of new SDA properties in Melbourne's outer suburbs (northern, southeastern, and predominantly western), the affected participants, who have lived in inner and middle-ring areas for years, wish to remain in their current locations. Providers moving to outer areas risk losing many clients. Furthermore, support workers are reluctant to travel to these outer suburbs. The inner areas, where most group homes are situated, have a greater abundance of apartments than houses, limiting suitable housing options. This geographical gap between where the housing is and where the demand is, particularly for houses over apartments, is a major barrier to relocating the thousands of displaced residents, as the NDIS is not expected to universally uplift funding for basic-funded participants anytime soon.For investors with empty SDAs around Melbourne, more specifically, by taking on tenants with lower initial funding, investors can secure occupancy while helping residents, with the long-term potential of significantly higher rental income once the participant's SDA funding is successful.-------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

Government-promoted resources aren't always safe or supportive. In this episode, I take you inside the Autistics Guide to Adulthood, a resource promoted by NDIS, and show you why it misses the mark and what to look for instead.   “Just because something has a big shiny seal of approval from a big government body, it may or may not actually be a quality resource.” – Adina Levy   In this episode I cover: • Why the Autistics Guide to Adulthood resource, funded and promoted by NDIS, is outdated and harmful in key ways • How to spot when a resource pushes masking, compliance, and neurotypical norms rather than affirming autistic communication and self-expression • What to look for in genuinely neurodiversity affirming resources that support autistic people to thrive as themselves   Links & Resources mentioned • Embracing You Course – by Stephanie Robertson, OT, Autistic adult and many other things too!

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.

What does success really mean for occupational therapists? Is it the size of your clinic, the number of staff you employ, or the impact you have on families? In this episode of OT Yourself to Freedom, Beki speaks with Alyce Svensk, an experienced paediatric OT and business mentor, about the courage it takes to close a thriving practice and redefine what freedom looks like as an OT entrepreneur. From 2017 to 2024, Alyce built and led Sensational Start Occupational Therapy in Australia, growing it into three busy clinics with over 50 staff. Yet despite the growth, she faced the reality many OT business owners never prepare for: recruitment struggles, shifting NDIS demands, rising overheads, and the toll on her health and family. Rather than go down with the ship, Alyce chose to close her practice with integrity and pivot towards mentoring, supervision, and training through The OT Coach. This conversation is packed with insights for occupational therapists at every stage of their career, from new graduates considering private practice, to experienced OTs leading large teams, to those who feel trapped in a model that no longer works for them. In this episode you will learn: The hidden costs of running an OT private practice and how to recognise red flags early Why closing a clinic is not failure, but a strategic decision rooted in values and wellbeing How to transition from direct client work to supervision, mentoring, and scalable services The mindset shifts OTs need to move from survival to freedom What redefining success beyond the clinic can look like for your career and life If you are an occupational therapist, OT supervisor, paediatric OT, or allied health entrepreneur, this episode will help you reflect, recalibrate, and take practical steps towards building a business that truly serves you.

In this candid discussion, show host Gene Tunny joins a panel to expose the shortcomings of the Australian Government's August 2025 economic reform summit. Topics include the high cost of energy, tax policy, the ballooning NDIS and big government generally, AI regulation, and Senator Matt Canavan's rival roundtable, which Gene attended. This episode borrows the audio from Damian Coory's The Other Side episode broadcast on YouTube on 22 August 2025. The other guests are Graham Young, Executive Director of the Australian Institute for Progress, and Dan Petrie, a data analyst and former editor at Bloomberg.  Please email Gene your thoughts on this episode via contact@economicsexplored.com.TimestampsAustralian Government's Economic Reform Roundtable Overview (0:00)Critique of the Official Roundtable (3:26)Challenges in Defining Productivity and Addressing Labor Market Issues (6:59)Impact of Government Spending and Energy Costs on Productivity (9:48)Innovation and Small Business Challenges (34:00)Taxation and Economic Reform Proposals (34:29)NDIS and Healthcare Funding Challenges (51:04)Final Thoughts on the Roundtable and Future Directions (51:15)TakeawaysThe Official Roundtable Lacked Focus & Diversity: Only six business leaders were among 30 participants — a serious oversight for a summit focused on productivity and economic reform.Energy Costs Are a Major Barrier: Australia's rapid rollout of renewable energy is raising energy prices, affecting both consumers and heavy industries.Government Spending Is Too High: Public spending is nearing 40% of GDP, with half of Australians now receiving government income, raising concerns about sustainability and productivity.Small Business & Innovation Ignored: There was little meaningful discussion of the role of small business or innovation in driving productivity.AI Regulation Needs a Balanced Approach: The roundtable discussions on AI were dominated by union concerns, focusing on job protection rather than innovation. This risks stifling technological advancement and missing opportunities for productivity gains.NDIS Costs Are Spiralling Out of Control: The National Disability Insurance Scheme is growing at an unsustainable rate, with concerns about high eligibility and inadequate oversight. The government's proposed changes lack proper consultation and shift costs to the states.Links relevant to the conversationThe Other Side episode - “AUSTRALIA's Decline - No Vision, No Innovation, Just MORE Big Government and Taxes”:https://youtu.be/FeicrCu2sO0?si=Rd8xZV_CsmLzikW0Senator Matt Canavan's roundtable broadcast on Sky News - “Real Productivity Roundtable reveals four ways to save Australia:”https://youtu.be/4xBGcjIXgHU?si=Uk1kaqq92bhacSmaRobert Carling's recent paper - “Leviathan on the Rampage: Government spending growth a threat to Australia's economic future”:https://www.cis.org.au/publication/leviathan-on-the-rampage-how-the-growth-of-government-is-draining-australias-economic-vitality/Lumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED

This week I'm joined by Connected Parenting founder Gen Muir and we are answering all of your burning questions, including:

Otizm teşhisi konulan çocuk sayısı artıyor ve bu durum Ulusal Engellilik Sigortası Programı'na (NDIS) büyük yük getiriyor. Hükümet, otizimli çocukları NDIS'den uzaklaştırıp Gelişen Çocuklar adlı yeni bir programa yönlendirme planını duyurarak bu duruma yanıt verdi. Ebeveynler ve otizm savunucuları, strateji kamuoyuna açıklanana kadar bundan habersiz olduklarını söylüyor.

در آسترالیا تعداد کودکانی‌که به آتیسم تشخیص داده می‌شوند در حال افزایش است. رسیدگی به مشکل این کودکان بر طرح بیمه ملی معلولیت (NDIS) فشار وارد کرده است. حکومت در واکنش به این موضوع، پلان جدیدی را اعلام کرده که براساس آن، کودکان از طرح بیمه ملی معلولیت به یک برنامه جدید به‌نام "کودکان شکوفا" منتقل خواهند شد. والدین و حامیان کودکان دارای آتیسم می‌گویند تا زمانی‌که این استراتیژی علنی نشد، از آن آگاهی نداشتند.

Le ministre de la Santé australien, Mark Butler, a annoncé la semaine dernière le lancement d'un nouveau programme de 2 milliards de dollars pour les enfants autistes. «Thriving kids» va ainsi alléger l'assurance invalidité nationale, NDIS, en prenant en charge des enfants atteints de troubles légers à modérés.

The growth in the cost of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is making it financially unsustainable. But is moving some children with autism off the scheme really a good idea? The government plans to have a new program called Thriving Kids in place by July next year to support children with mild to moderate developmental delays and autism. Today, we speak with Jess Otter, whose son has autism and to the ABC's disability affairs reporter Nas Campanella. Featured: Jess Otter, motherNas Campanella, ABC disability affairs reporter
