NDIS Community Access Sydney

The NDIS is a once-in-a-generation reform that allows Australians with disability to live their lives on their terms. It provides funding for a range of support services that help participants get more out and about, combat social isolation, improve on everyday life skills, and more.

Quantitative analysis utilised data from a de-identified database provided by the regional Access Program Coordinators. This database was sourced from local community organisations who use the Access Program.

1. Get out and about

NDIS community access sydney is an essential part of the NDIS, enabling people with disability to get out and about. This includes activities like going shopping, taking part in group outings, and learning new skills. This can help them live more independently and feel more connected to the community.

NDIS support services can also assist with advocacy, liaising with NDIA officials, and ensuring their participants are getting the most out of their plan. They can also offer training in areas like money management, decision making, and self-advocacy.

If you’re interested in community participation, talk to your NDIS planner or contact us for some guidance on how to get started. We can help you determine whether assistance with social and community participation is a supported activity under your Core Support Budget or Capacity Building Support Category. Then, we can help you plan and implement a plan to achieve your goals.

2. Combat social isolation

NDIS Community Access services can help to combat social isolation by getting participants out and about. Whether it’s going for coffee with friends or visiting a local fair, our support professionals are on hand to accompany you every step of the way. These activities will also help to develop your independence, improve your confidence and increase overall wellbeing.

The research found that people who were more isolated had greater challenges with NDIS processes and outcomes. This was particularly true for women; those from CALD communities; those with mental health, substance abuse or forensic issues and older carers.

The episodic or fluctuating nature of some mental health conditions was also identified as a barrier to applying for the NDIS. This meant that GPs and specialists were often unable to provide NDIA-acceptable reports as evidence of permanent disability. This is a significant problem that needs to be addressed.

4. Get some help with your daily tasks

NDIS Community access sydney can help participants with their daily tasks, such as preparing meals, shopping, and attending activities. These supports can also be used to help participants develop new skills that will improve their independence.

It is important that you choose a provider that understands your needs and goals. They should be able to work with you and your family to create a plan that will meet your goals. You can find a provider using the Provider Finder on your myplace portal.

The NDIS price guide is an essential tool for anyone who is considering disability support services Sydney. This will allow you to compare costs and make informed decisions about how to spend your NDIS funding. This will ensure that you get the best value for your money and continue to receive high-quality support services. The NDIS price guide also allows you to budget effectively and manage your costs so that your NDIS funding remains sustainable.

Temporary, a podcast series on the experiences of refugees in Australia

The Guardian Australia in collaboration with The Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law launches a postcast series called Temporary. It is a storytelling hub revealing the experiences of refugees in Australia who are under temporary protection. Their voices rise from an eight-episode podcast series, co-produced with UNSW Centre for Ideas and Guardian Australia, with a soundtrack created by an award-winning composer currently seeking asylum. Guardian Australia published the first audio series “a legal limbo without an end: the people who came by boat but never found home in Australia”, and full stories. The podcasts can also be found in the Apple Podcasts application.

Interactive map of federal agents retaliation against immigrant rights defenders

Immigrant Rights Voices is a joint project of the NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic and the New Sanctuary Coalition. Together they launched an interactive map to highlight instances of repression and retaliation against immigrant rights activists throughout different US states. The project aims to expose a widespread pattern of the abuse of power of US government agencies by speaking out and by monitoring the abuse.

Training video: Fictional demonstration of mental health evaluation

The New Mexico Immigration Law Center (NMILC) is a non-profit organisation providing legal assistance to immigrant communities. It produced a YouTube video in collaboration with pro bono medical specialists. The video shows a fictional depiction of a forensic psychological examination of an asylum seeker conducted to support an asylum claim.

Hong Kong Justice Center app

The organisation Justice Centre Hong Kong and the global law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer created a mobile application called HK Asylum app to help asylum seekers understand their legal rights in Hong Kong. The app provides a simple, step-by-step guide on the application process for ‘non-refoulement’ protection in seven steps. An online version is also available on the hk asylum guide website.

New resources for child detention cases

The organisation Justice in Motion, a network of human rights lawyers and nonprofit organisations in Central America and the US has initiated the Child Detention Crisis Initiative project. The initiative is dedicated to freeing migrant children from US immigration detention centers and safely reuniting them with their families. Experts of the organisation developed free educational tools for US advocates including a series of 15 Spanish language webinars and expert declarations relating to Family Law in Central America. To access the resources, please visit the initiative’s website.

Evidence of Australia’s offshore processing policy and its impact

When it emerged that the UK government was considering an Australian-style offshore processing policy, the House of Commons initiated an inquiry. Asylum lawyer and senior researcher at the UNSW Sydney University Madeline Gleeson was invited to provide evidence by video link on Australia’s policy and its impact to the Home Affairs Committee of the UK parliament.

A time-travelling, galaxy-defending archaeologist – Recurring Thing #4

The scent of the future is wafting in. I’ve been breathing it in, choking on it, attempting assimilation.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve enrolled in a business startup program, went to a workshop about speculative design, and thought about where I’ll be in 10 years. But after seeing The LEGO Movie 2, I hope it’s not being a raptor-training archaeologist from space. (I guess you had to be there.)

After taking an extended break from social design work “to get some perspective” (ahem), I find that Everything Now Looks Very Strange Indeed™. This is another one of my updates on restarting a creative practice, with added cultural and design commentary.

(If someone’s forwarded this thing to you in the hope you’ll find it interesting, you can subscribe here to secure my everlasting love. And please, pass it on if you think it might be of interest to anyone.)

“Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

In Issue #2 I mentioned that I’m starting a small strategic design practice called Studio Thing. To help this along, I recently applied for the Australian Government’s New Enterprise Incentive Scheme and am now enjoying free business training for several months, and ongoing business mentoring for a year. I’m usually sceptical of such government programs, but happy to report that our trainer Jason is hilarious, and that my cohort is vibrant and diverse. It includes one of Australia’s leading forensic investigators, an aerospace startup that's designing hyper-spectral imaging satellites in a suburban Sydney home, and three mental health-related startups.

As you’d expect, the assessable part of the training feels a bit superfluous. The value is instead in the solidarity, support and collective wisdom you get in the room. In this context, formerly snooze-worthy operational details about business become far more alive. Frank feedback still rules, but deviates from the tech-bro/shark-tank consensus; for example, after an exuberant elevator pitch last week by one of the mental health startup founders, the most devastating feedback came from one of the quietest voices in the room, a softly spoken Korean couture designer who lacks confidence in her English:

“You felt like a wall,” she said. “If you want me to come to you for help, I need to see you bend.”

Uncommon wisdom.

No/future

Being in microbusiness school involves a lot of talk about strategy, and one of the contradictions of thinking strategically is that just as we need foresight in order to endure, we must also embrace uncertainty to thrive. We need a supple sensibility to survive our times. In this, I’m sympathetic to both the apocalyptic nowness of the punk phrase “no future” (which is much more than nihilistic rage) and the science-fictional tendency to imagine the future.

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

“No future” is one of the most important messages in punk. In a way, contemplating that “there is no future” opens up a new politics, a much more prefigurative politics. It’s no longer a question of waiting and dreaming of utopias, but of doing what we need to do here and now, and in the ways we can and want to. We’re not waiting for further instructions or permissions to get started. We will take ownership of music and spaces. In punk, anyone can pick up a guitar while someone else starts singing, speaking, doing.

— Guiomar Rovira, “No Future: From Punk to Zapatismo and Connected Multitudes”

Urgent and dangerous, disavowing the future forces a sense of possibility to arrive in the vacant spaces of the present. A very different strategy from, say, Star Trek’s optimistic and intricate future history of the 23rd and 24th Centuries.

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

How I ridiculously imagine punk and speculative futures working together[/caption]

But despite being an art of extrapolation, science fiction has often been a metaphor for the concerns of the present, or an opening of possibility, rather than simply a literal attempt to predict the future. And its speculations are often untamed and unruly. “Future” and “no future” are thus closer than we might initially suspect. With both turning on the same hinge (of “there must be something more than this”), I’d like to think that together they can contribute a kind of lubricated friction… towards greatness.

Visions

As it happens, the first edition of Visions, a handsome new science fiction magazine, just landed on my desk as I finished typing the previous sentence. It came with a sexy postcard:

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

Uncanny! Visions is “a science fiction magazine where writers, designers and researchers of the past and present come together to explore the future.”

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

To be totally honest, I really ordered it to experience Marvin Visions, the awesome retrofuturistic typeface that editor Mathieu Triay cut specially for the magazine, but the whole package is obviously compelling and relevant to my Recurring Thing concerns. Back in the early ‘80s, the magnificent Omni magazine mixed fiction and non-fiction about science and technology in a way whose promise has yet to be truly fulfilled, and Visions is a good step in that direction. More later.

Dying stars and fossil fuel archaeology

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

When I recently taught a second grade school art class with a theme of “the future”, I primed them with a range of stimuli: a familiar adage, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it” (attributed to everyone from Alan Kay to Abraham Lincoln); a peek at Future Cities, the book my father gave me when I was six years old and which directly inspired the work I now do; plus, many examples of how science fiction has directly inspired contemporary technologies.

I then invited each student to visit the future, travelling to a date of their own choosing. We set our future destinations using the control panel from Back to the Future’s DeLorean, and to the wheezing sound of the TARDIS time rotor (yes), we entered the time vortex.

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

Our challenge: to draw what we saw on our arrival. A group of 7-year-old girls who were usually into drawing unicorns and rainbows surprised me by collaborating on an awe-inspiring scenario, set millions of years in our future: the sun becomes a red giant, swallows the Earth and ends human civilisation. But in a hopeful coda, the solar system’s habitable zone shifts to the orbit of Pluto. (Yes, they went into this much detail.)

Some kids imagined a range of consumerist wish-fulfilment utopias, full of crazy gadgets, but an interesting thing happened: debate spontaneously broke out about how desirable some of these really were. Calvin, the shortest kid in the class, sat grumpily at the back of the class and delivered a running commentary on the ecological impact of each scenario. “Where’s the energy coming from? Fossil fuels,” he’d snipe. “More fossil fuels.” And… “FOSSIL FUELS!!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???” It led to some interesting discussion. (Later that week, I overheard a child from this class ask, “Mummy, what are ‘fossil fuels’?” Which. Is. The. Best.)

There was a future in which everybody lived forever. “What do you think would happen if this came true?” I asked the class. “That’s scary,” my daughter’s friend Reyna replied, “because if everyone lived forever, it would reduce the capacity of the Earth to nothing.” (Her exact words.) The mind. It boggles.

“Fossil-Fuel” Calvin’s future scenario was a barren, charred wasteland.

Design as a race to dystopia

During the Sydney Design Festival, I had the fortune to attend a Speculative Design workshop run by the indefatigable Tina Fung of Meld Studios. Besides using the same Alan Kay/Abe Lincoln quote (snap!), Tina introduced us to Situation Lab’s game, The Thing From the Future, in which players visualise objects inspired by random cards that suggest its different aspects: its future timeframe (“Arc”), area of society (“Terrain”), general form (“Object”) and emotional charge (“Mood”).

Our group drew these cards:

[caption align="alignnone" width="980"]

[/caption]

The concepts people build around such provocations are usually passing exercises in extrapolation, but to teach us critical foresight, Tina got us to take our ideas a little more seriously, running them through a matrix of potential economic, technological, social and ecological consequences. Things got unnerving.

After my experience with the time-travelling children, I wasn’t surprised that most of us created dystopian scenarios. One group created a food-based social credit system within the last outpost of human civilisation — a space station in orbit above a dead world. While those displaying “optimal” behaviour could eat well, those relegated to the bottom of the system could only eat “Hungry Bread”, which left you feeling more hungry. The perversity generated much, uh, food for discussion.

To relieve human pressure on a future Earth, my team created an authoritarian eugenics program for interstellar colonisation. Those deemed genetically fittest for colonial adventures would be endlessly cloned to form the future interstellar population. Like the Hungry Bread, it was obviously perverse, but more disturbing was that one outspoken designer on our team actually relished the hyper-instrumentalism of this scenario. In the name of human survival, extreme measures could somehow be justified.

Beyond the obvious point that eugenics runs counter to a just society, I suggested that it also disregarded the distinct possibility that societies require diversity and its attendant challenges of cosmopolitanism in order to actually function. Without an ethic of inclusion, a society of Alphas might easily self-destruct in an orgy of atomised cocksureness. He snorted in reply.

“Inclusive design is bullshit,” he bellowed, “because design is exclusive, by its very definition! Tailoring our products to exactly fit the needs of an ideal customer is design excellence.” In his vehemence, his face began to flush. “Allowing rubbish common denominators to dilute excellence isn’t just bad design, it isn’t design.”

I’ll consider the possibility that this guy was trying to get a rise out of me, but remember when I recently expressed my misgivings about how contemporary design’s largely uncritical enthusiasm for highly tailored experiences might align too neatly with the way capitalism feeds social divisions? This guy was a living embodiment of everything I see going wrong with my profession. And yet he was factually correct, in a manner of speaking: in its ultimate distillation, design seeks to optimally shape the world to specific ends, and taken to its logical conclusion, we might end up with our nightmarish Things From the Future.

By throwing spanners into its heart, I want to dedicate my efforts to prevent this future design apocalypse.

A Big Study on Weed and Mental Health Reveals Just How Little We Know

In April of 2019, more people searched online for CBD than for acupuncture, apple cider vinegar, meditation, exercise, veganism, or vaccination (and that was during a measles outbreak).

CBD, a chemical found in the cannabis plant, is having its moment, after being seized on by the wellness empire for its rumored ability to help with a whole host of conditions, from anxiety to insomnia to depression. The CBD industry is estimated to grow to almost $2 billion by 2022, and cannabis use overall has increased 43 percent between 2007 and 2015; it's now medicinally legal in 33 states. But despite how ubiquitous CBD lattes may be, they are not matched by an equal amount of research on their benefits for the mind.

A new review and meta-analysis published this week in The Lancet Psychiatry looked for the effects of cannabinoids on mental health in nearly 40 years of research and their findings sounded grim: They wrote there was “scarce evidence” to support that cannabis improves mental health symptoms, leading publications like The Guardian to publish an article titled "Risks of cannabis use for mental health treatment outweigh benefits," and writing that "the use of cannabis medicines to treat people with depression, anxiety, psychosis or other mental health issues cannot be justified because there is little evidence that they work or are safe." Time similarly concluded that "There's 'Scarce Evidence' That Cannabis Helps Mental Health Issues."

This review reveals something many clinicians already knew: We don’t have enough evidence to say that cannabis can treat mental health disorders. That doesn’t necessarily mean weed doesn’t help at all—it means we just don't know. (And since risks of long-term cannabis use have been well-documented, of course they would outweigh benefits we are unaware of.)

“The old adage that absence of evidence doesn’t necessarily mean absence of effectiveness is true here,” said Harry Sumnall, a professor of substance use at Liverpool John Moores Public Health Institute in the U.K., who was not involved in the review.

Finding a lack of evidence isn't a reason to throw in the towel. It should be motivation to conduct more rigorous studies, especially given the rise in use of cannabis and cannabis-derived products specifically for mental health, and the large swaths of the public deciding on their own that cannabis does treat these symptoms.

People are widely using cannabis—both THC and CBD—for their mental health. In 2017, a study found that people perceive cannabis to be an effective way to treat many conditions, and that some substituted cannabis for prescription medications like benzodiazepines (often given for anxiety) or antidepressants. In a 2018 study of over 2,400 CBD users, 62 percent said they used CBD for a medical condition—the top three being pain, anxiety, and depression.

Just because your friend or your favorite Instagram influencer took CBD and it improved their anxiety better isn’t enough to determine whether cannabis is effective for that purpose. This kind of evidence is called anecdotal and it can feel immensely powerful, especially if the experience happened to you. But that’s not the way we decide that treatments are safe and effective. Even results from single studies might not be enough, especially when it comes to difficult areas like mental health. Consider the fact that researchers are still having debates about whether or not SSRIs are more effective than placebos for depression— and those medications have been around for decades and have no issues surrounding legality that result in limits on research. This is one of the reasons scientists write reviews and meta-analyses, to try and combine findings from many studies.

The authors of the new review searched for studies published between 1980 and 2018, including unpublished or ongoing studies, where medicinal cannabinoids were given to adults to treat depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette's syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, or psychosis. In the end, they included 83 studies, 30 of which were randomized controlled trials—considered the gold standard of study design.

The results were mixed. "Our analyses and conclusions are limited by the small amount of available data, small study sizes, and heterogeneity of findings across studies," the authors wrote.

They found that pharmaceutical-grade THC made anxiety symptoms better, but only in people who had other medical conditions like chronic pain. This is an important caveat. If, for example, the primary outcome of a study was seeing if cannabis could help with chronic pain and a person’s depression also improved, it’s hard to say whether the cannabis treated the depression, or if their pain got better and made them feel less depressed.

In one study the review looked at, pharmaceutical cannabis made psychotic symptoms worse, while in others, pharmaceutical cannabis didn’t show any significant effect on mental disorders, but was linked to increased side effects. The authors noted that there were very few randomized controlled trials for them to review that tested pharmaceutical CBD or medicinal cannabis. Another issue is that many people don't take pharmaceutical or medicinal cannabis, they buy it recreationally—the studies can't account for that variability either.

“To make more confident conclusions we need more evidence; but at the moment there is not a lot that can support, guide or inform use of cannabinoids for mental disorders," said Louisa Degenhardt, the deputy director at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at The University of New South Wales in Sydney, and senior author on the review.

Kevin Hill, an addiction psychiatrist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said that any clinician who treats patients who regularly use cannabis, either recreationally or medicinally, won't be surprised at the mixed and sparse evidence the authors had to muddle through.

“There is much more that we don’t know about cannabis and CBD than we do know,” Hill said. “With such an intense interest in cannabis and CBD as treatments for medical conditions including psychiatric disorders, it is disappointing that the rate and scale [of research] has not kept pace with the interest.”

Cannabis is a Schedule 1 drug, which is a barrier to research, but funding is a bigger one, Hill said. He thinks that states and companies profiting from cannabis and CBD should contribute to the science. “For the most part, they have not," Hill said. "A portion of profits from the sale of cannabis or CBD should be put toward finding the answers to important questions about efficacy and safety." It's a process we know can work, even for something like CBD: Large-scale trials were how we found that CBD could be helpful for pediatric epilepsy conditions, and it's now FDA-approved for that use.

The reason why this all matters is because with mental health disorders, taking something that’s not helping could eventually end up doing harm. If someone with depression takes CBD or medical cannabis daily and it doesn't work (or makes it worse), they won't improve. This could affect their overall quality of life, and their ability to work or be social.

Without more study, we could also be missing some of the basic biology around cannabis use. Earlier this year, a small study looked at the medical records of 25 people who used cannabis and found that they needed more anesthesia to remain sedated during certain medical procedures. When the authors tried to look at existing research to see if other clinicians had found the same thing, they discovered that their study was the first on that topic. “We did these huge literature searches and found nothing,” Mark Twardowski, a doctor of osteopathic medicine, told VICE in April. “Really?”

And many CBD products continue to be notoriously under regulated: In 2017, a study in JAMA found that only 30 percent of CBD products sold online were accurately labeled, and last year, a study in Forensic Science International found synthetic marijuana and dextromethorphan, an ingredient in cough syrup, in CBD vape liquid.

"With millions of Americans using cannabis and CBD for myriad medical conditions, we should be conducting rigorously designed trials to see if cannabis and CBD actually are effective treatments for these conditions," Hill said. The United States has the potential to lead the way in this work and we have not yet done so.”

Until more research is done, we should be wary of overblown claims around cannabis on both sides: that it does nothing, or that it's a panacea—our gap in knowledge is too great for either.

Daughter charged after decapitated woman found in Sydney

FACEBOOK

Jessica Camilleri has been charged with the murder of her mother.

Jessica Camilleri was covered in blood when she knocked on her neighbour’s door close to midnight on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.

Ali Bostani had heard screams for help moments before the knock on his door. When he answered, Camilleri allegedly told him she’d just killed her 57-year-old mother.

Rita Camilleri’s decapitated head was lying nearby on the St Clair footpath.

NINE

Police were called to the Sydney house on Saturday night, where they found a horrific scene.

“She said ‘I need help’, I said ‘what sort of help do you need?’ She said call the police or ambulance … her face was full of blood … she said ‘yeah I had a fight with my mum, I killed my mum’,” he told media on Sunday.

READ MORE: Woman allegedly decapitates her mother in front of boy, neighbours

Several knives were allegedly used during the course of the incident, which Detective Superintendent Brett McFadden described as “one of the most significant, most horrific scenes police have had to face”.

SUPPLIED

Police have charged the daughter of Rita Camilleri, 57, with her murder.

Arrested at the scene and charged with murder, Camilleri later pleaded for medical attention at Parramatta Local Court on Sunday afternoon, where she appeared via audiovisual link from the Amber Laurel Correctional facility at Emu Plains.

“I really need medical attention … I cannot move my fingers because of the incident that happened,” she said.

“I couldn’t even wash myself properly when I had to shower to to get all the blood off.”

NINE

Police say the attack happened in front of the victim’s grandson, who was also injured.

Camilleri’s lawyer told Magistrate Michael Price his client suffered from “severe mental health issues”.

During the short appearance Camilleri said her whole body was “in agony”, and she listed a handful of mental health issues she suffered from.

Detective Superintendent McFadden said the woman was fatally injured after “an argument that became violent.”

NINE

It’s thought the attack happened after a fight between the two women turned violent.

“There is no stepping away from the fact that this was horrific and a significant attack, and the injuries that the victim suffered were extensive,” he said.

Detectives seized a knife from the house for forensic examination and set up numerous crime scenes at the property. They scoured the street overnight and conducted another search of the area on Sunday afternoon.

Detective Superintendent McFadden said that neighbours had provided “specific information” to police about the alleged attack.

“We are working with the information available to us and working with the family to establish exactly what has happened, but this is not anything that was foreseeable,” he said.

Camilleri did not apply for bail and was expected to be taken to Nepean Hospital for medical treatment and a mental health assessment before she next appears in court.

Strike Force Comeroy will investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. Support is being provided to police and paramedics who responded to the incident.

Strike Force Comeroy will investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. Support is being provided to police and paramedics who responded to the incident.

Daughter charged after decapitated woman found in Sydney

FACEBOOK

Jessica Camilleri has been charged with the murder of her mother.

Jessica Camilleri was covered in blood when she knocked on her neighbour’s door close to midnight on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.

Ali Bostani had heard screams for help moments before the knock on his door. When he answered, Camilleri allegedly told him she’d just killed her 57-year-old mother.

Rita Camilleri’s decapitated head was lying nearby on the St Clair footpath.

Police have charged the daughter of Rita Camilleri, 57, with her murder.

“I really need medical attention … I cannot move my fingers because of the incident that happened,” she said.

“I couldn’t even wash myself properly when I had to shower to to get all the blood off.”

Police say the attack happened in front of the victim’s grandson, who was also injured.

Camilleri’s lawyer told Magistrate Michael Price his client suffered from “severe mental health issues”.

During the short appearance Camilleri said her whole body was “in agony”, and she listed a handful of mental health issues she suffered from.

Detective Superintendent McFadden said the woman was fatally injured after “an argument that became violent.”

It’s thought the attack happened after a fight between the two women turned violent.

“There is no stepping away from the fact that this was horrific and a significant attack, and the injuries that the victim suffered were extensive,” he said.

Detective Superintendent McFadden said that neighbours had provided “specific information” to police about the alleged attack.

“We are working with the information available to us and working with the family to establish exactly what has happened, but this is not anything that was foreseeable,” he said.

Camilleri did not apply for bail and was expected to be taken to Nepean Hospital for medical treatment and a mental health assessment before she next appears in court.

Strike Force Comeroy will investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. Support is being provided to police and paramedics who responded to the incident.
