Disability Services In Sydney
Disability services are available to people in Australia who need help with daily living, mobility or care for family members. These services can be found in the community, at home or in residential facilities. They can include assistance with getting around, meals and showering, medication reminders, mobility aids, home modifications, allied health support, respite and advocacy. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) connects anyone with disability to relevant services. It also provides financial support to access them. It’s important to know your rights when accessing Disability Services In Sydney, as well as how to get the most out of your supports.
The NDIS is a national scheme that provides personalised supports to people with permanent and significant disabilities. Its aim is to improve participants’ quality of life by giving them choice and control over their supports and how they are delivered. Eligible participants can use their NDIS funding to purchase the supports they need for more time with friends and family, greater independence, improved health outcomes and access to work or volunteering in their community.
NDIS-registered providers operate thousands of disability services across Australia, and the NDS is a peak representative body for these non-government organisations. Its members are committed to ensuring people can access world-class disability services wherever they live in Australia.
Disability Australia is a national non-profit organisation that provides a variety of services to individuals with disability and their families. Its goal is to empower people with disability to participate in their community and pursue their goals. Its services are available to people of all ages, and they can be provided either in the home or the community. They can help people with physical, intellectual and sensory disabilities as well as those who have chronic health conditions or neurological disorders.
TalkCampus is an online mental health support service that can be accessed by students anywhere in Australia, 24 hours a day. Students can call a trained professional via the app, or they can seek anonymous advice from peers. The service is free to use, and the support workers are qualified in the area of mental health.
Disability Discrimination is illegal and is covered by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). Whether you have a current disability, have had a disability in the past or are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech impairment, the AHRC can help you make a complaint.
NDIS-registered provider Bedford is a wonderful organisation that specialises in helping those with disability to achieve their goals. They maximise each participant’s plan funding and are committed to supporting them towards employment. They are based in Panorama and pride themselves on providing the best possible service for each individual they work with. Their team are highly experienced and have years of specialised knowledge, making them the ideal choice when it comes to Disability Services In Sydney.
Carol’s Healthcare is a specialised disability support and Aged Care in Homes or within or existing care facility. We not only provide essential respite for caregivers while offering NDIS Support Services in Sydney, but we also strive to increase our participants’ freedom so that they can achieve their full potential.

Hey I just want to shout out to my fellow disabled and neurodivergent people with pets.
Every disability makes it hard in a different way. You're doing your best and your best is better than you think.
People with disabilities deserve companionship, and pets deserve good homes.
Your pet care might look different than other people's. Sometimes it will be a struggle. You don't need to carry shame about that.
(P.S.- Fellow disabled/neurodivergent people I'd love to see your pets and service animals if you'd like to share!)
#petblr#disability#actually disabled#actually autistic#actually ADHD#pets#autism#adhd#neurodivergent#actually neurodivergent#chronic illness#chronic pain#chronic fatigue#chronically ill#actually mentally ill#ehlers danlos syndrome#hypermobile ehlers danlos#I hope I don't get backlash on this. Obviously if you are unable to care for your pet properly something needs to be done ASAP#But life is hard and we should support each other and be forgiving#Carrying shame is more likely to just make it harder to get the help you need.#Also this post isn't just about service animals but absolutely does include them.

The bourgeois or "exploiting class" doesn't inherently include the person who gets their nails done biweekly, or the disabled person who has a carer, or the guy who got a $70 video game for full-price, or the person who relies on medication (yes even the ones you don't think they "need"), or anything else like this. None of these people will, on average, have the ability to exploit workers by means of ownership or whatever.
While you are busy fighting with fellow workers, you are still being exploited by your boss, by capitalism, by (potentially) not having healthcare, by being overworked and underpaid, and so are they.
#politics#feel like this wording isn't satisfactory for me but fuck it we ball#used bourgeois because i think as a colloquial word it's recognized but like...#...i dunno i think some people use it to mean 'person who can do [x]' even if they quite literally own no means of production#like the idea that you're exploiting a worker by agreeing to a service they provide isn't what bourgeois means#if i paid a carer to care for a disabled person they aren't being exploited by that disabled person...#...HOWEVER that carer absolutely can (and probably will be) exploited by the systems of power (eg their boss or capitalism)#perhaps it's too late at night for me to be posting about this but it's something that bothers me!#*especially* when it comes to disability and other groups already exploited by marginalization 👍#if your leftism percludes the disabled (including the terminally and profoundly) or the elderly or the queer or so so much i don't WANT ITTT#saw a disabled person i follow lament how afraid they were to have a carer out of fear of Being a Bad Exploitative Person#and they obviously need one and that makes me so fucking angry to know that they are needlessly suffering

Something that people seem to have no conception of, unless they've experienced it themselves, is how fucking isolating it is to not be able to eat a lot of foods that most people can eat.
"People with allergies just shouldn't go out to eat, because it's selfish to make your allergies other people's problem."
Humans like to eat. Humans like to eat when they hang out. Humans go out to eat to hang out. Eating is incredibly important in social situations. It's just a thing that we do. Not being able to eat in these situations is incredibly fucking isolating.
I remember being a kid, sitting in one of my social groups, watching them all eat pizza, alone, while I got nothing, because my social group leader forgot to get me something to replace it. Again.
And this shit still happens to me, even now.
Disabled people deserve to experience luxuries just like everyone else, including going out to eat. Safely.
#also whenever i see things like this brought up#while most people in the comments are arguing “just stay home”#there's almost always a food service worker in the comments saying that they literally don't care if someone requests an allergy removal#that it’s not that much to just accommodate them#it's literally a part of their job to accommodate people with food restrictions#and they don't understand why people are always in such an uproar about it#food allergies#allergies#disability#disabled#actually disabled#ableism#swearing cw

ok my OTHER reflection:
on the one hand its really frustrating to see the posts about docs and healthcare in general on here be so narrow-minded. bad experiences with certain providers have lead to a huge spread of misinformation and mistrust with the whole system. which can and HAS lead to people avoiding 'evil' doctors for perfectly treatable illnesses and dying from them (the vaccine bullshit, anyone?)
but on the other hand. it is TERRIFYING how some of these docs practice medicine. at times i think 'are you just burned out and don't give a shit or are you straight up just stupid?' and i work in critical care. where quite literally every case is life or death. even in the academic sector where there is supposedly a standard of excellence, some doctors i would not let touch my loved ones with a ten foot pole.
and that sucks. i know this is the no nuance piss on the poor webbed site but 'the medical system and people that work for it are fallible and aspects of it are morally questionable at best/unethical at worst' AND 'the field of medicine exists to help people first and foremost and mistrusting/avoiding it can be detrimental in the long run' can and DO co-exist
#also. folks i hate to tell you but 'doctors get big pharma kickbacks and they can cure you but just choose not to to get more money'#is a very tempting conspiracy theory. but it is SO UNTRUE.#hey listen. if someone is telling you they can 'cure' your disease magically if you just take x vitamin THEY ARE LYING#even miraculous cures like bone marrow transplants for autoimmune disease and CAR-T therapy#have such severe side-effects that they quite literally kill you#i can't tell you how many times i've taken care of people who#had their cancer 'cured' but the treatment ruined their kidneys/heart/lungs#or fucked their immune system so bad that a common bacteria could completely take them out#anyone selling you miracles is L Y I N G#i understand that a lot of this anger is around disability and chronic illness and psych and i get that. intimately.#its 100% accurate to say that a patient who researched independently about ehlers-danlos or POTS knows more about it than i do.#and its hard to see the profession as 'people who sincerely ARE trying to help' when you actively work with people who fucking suck#and you think like 'you went to school. you went through all this training. you (presumably) passed boards'#we should have at least around the same level of knowledge#but that is often not the case#still#making large scale statements about an entire profession (especially when its supposed to be a civic service) is just... not good#my two cents rec for this is:#if you think you have something rare or unusual try to find a doc that specialized in this i.e. go to an academic center.#trainees are less set in their ways and can think outside the box PLUS if there are new/innovative treatments they would have them#if you need pretty much ANY surgery. private is the way to go#you want surgeons with high volume and experience#surgical techniques do not change on the dime. most havent changed in 50+ years. a lot of other medicine DOES#(this of course does not apply to specialized surgeries like whipple or PTE or schwannoma resection - go to academics for that)#if its REALLY rare whether medical or surgical your GP will not know what to do with you#academic centers are referral centers. they are more likely to have the right tools to diagnose/treat#where was i going with this?#oh yeah i had an odd interaction with an ED doc admitting to me last night that was NOT practicing within current standard of care#and was just so casual and assured i started to doubt MYself. like. am I the crazy one?!?!#like i'm young i dont know everything SURE

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you share Instagram links it will tell people your name in a huge pop message in the middle of their screen. (You can test it out by pasting your own url into an incognito window without logging into ig). The only way to avoid it is to manually edit the urls you share and remove this entire portion of text and all that follows from your url: /?igsh=
Anyway, happy not doxxing yourselves 👏🏻👏🏻
#Like it didn't happen to me yes but I definitely saw a few names I shouldn't have from people who sent me links#Ig didn't warn about this nor does it permit disabling this#Most people don't even know it's a feature since they never check their own urls from incognito and majority of the people they share with#Already have their account or simply don't mention this to them lmao#Anyways be careful this is a pretty nasty one especially to people who use their real name in ig or have a secret Fandom account 😂#I don't even use ig bit since I am temporarily using it this week I figured I might as well do a public service to y'all#Instagram#Ig#buns.txt#I know this is no longer a thing in Australia from the reddit thread I read#And I think that if you share urls from web it might not generate a url#Naturally if you copy an Instagram post you found while being logged out it won't generate your account id#But yes I think it's generally good to know before you reveal your account to an entire discord server or to the whole family chat

A Career in Aged Care Support Worker
A career as an Aged Care Support Worker is a fulfilling and rewarding choice for those with a desire to help others. These carers provide a variety of services to older people including assistance with daily living activities, transport and errands, home maintenance, meal preparation and companionship. They also administer medication, change wound dressing and assist with physiotherapy exercises.
They may also be responsible for preparing medical records, maintaining a clean healthcare environment, assisting patients to attend scheduled social events and engaging with their families. In addition, they must comply with the healthcare team’s directions and adhere to workplace health and safety guidelines.
You can specialise in either home or residential care, depending on the type of service you want to provide. For example, a home care aged care support workers will travel to clients’ homes and may be the only staff member at a client’s house. This type of role is often more independent than working in a residential aged care home.
In both roles, your responsibilities will include writing personalised care plans in consultation with the clients you are supporting. This will involve a discussion about the person’s needs, goals and aspirations. You may also be asked to assist with mobility, escorting them to and from appointments, shopping or even delivering food parcels to the doorstep.
For higher care clients, you might have to do more clinical duties such as redressing wounds, changing bed linen and administering medication under the supervision of a nurse. In some cases, you might be required to use specialist equipment like feeding tubes or PEG tubes.
You will be employed through an agency that provides Aged Care Packages in both home and residential care. Agencies are typically state departments of human services or Local Government agencies.
Getting started in this field is relatively easy, as you can do an apprenticeship or study online to achieve a Certificate IV in Aged Care Support. These courses will give you a good overview of the industry and all the safety, legal and ethical protocols involved when working with elderly people. You will also need to have a police check and first aid certification before commencing work.
The other way to start is to find a community organisation that works with the elderly and offers internships. These can help you get an idea of what it is like to work in this sector and can also give you a head start on the job search. Then, you can start looking for an agency or employer that suits your interests and skills. This is a fantastic way to make sure that you have the right job for you and can continue to develop your passions and talents as well as help the people in your care. Good luck!
Carol’s Healthcare is a specialised disability support and Aged Care in Homes or within or existing care facility. We not only provide essential respite for caregivers while offering NDIS Support Services in Sydney, but we also strive to increase our participants’ freedom so that they can achieve their full potential.

I hate how absolutely dissociated/shutdown/disoriented I get every time I go out anywhere alone, especially unfamiliar places. i've gotten into trouble or near trouble because of it. can't be aware of surroundings or ask for help or stay safe. I know this is a problem but can't get anyone to take it seriously and help me. so if need or want to go out, need to do it alone and hope no one takes advantage of my dissociation and disorientation and inability to react/ask for help/fight back...ive walked out into traffic before. i've had people follow me and not realize. i've had people grab hold of me and try to drag me away. i've had creepy or dangerous people be creeps or have major red flags and I not realize until someone said something or yelled at me to stop acknowledging them (I didn't know I did???? I was unaware of everything happening!)
sometimes wish I could get a service dog that helps to keep me grounded or bring me back to reality, keeps me safe by being aware if our surroundings for me, guides me away from danger (doesn't let me go out in traffic and keeps dangerous people away), comforts me when I fall (I keep tripping and hurting myself because my joints don't like to work), helps me when i'm overstimulated by guiding me to a quiet safe place, etc.
and maybe a service dog could help me have a routine and keep me on a schedule and maybe that could help my life?
but i'm not sure if you can get a service dog for that kind of stuff. my parents would never let me. and they are EXPENSIVE here. I could never afford it.
i'm just so tired of having to do everything alone, getting no help and support, and constantly putting myself in danger because I just can't do things right! but have to purposely put myself in dangerous because no one will help or support me! but I guess this is how I have to live life and just accept it
#disability problems#disabled#autistic#autism#dissociation#service dog#im in the US. anyone know if service dogs can do things like this? not that i can ever get one 😭 just curious#im also afraid id be too out of it to work well with one or be able to take care of them. cant even gake care of myself correctly 😭

RiAAU Sasha's complicated relationship with her adoptive parents, Percy and Braddock, stems from an awkward mixture of unconditional love, resentment over their inability to protect her from Grime in her childhood, and their fear of what she's become.
#raised in amphibia au#amphibia#sasha waybright#my posts#they sort it out but it takes time#percy and braddock have loved sasha since she was brought to the Tower all dirty and crying and scared at the tender age of 3#and they did their best but also... they were very young themselves. like early 20s maybe#hell they weren't even together by the time they adopted her#they were just friends who saw this kid in need of parents and legal guardians and decided to take care of her#but with Grime being their superior and Sasha being forced to grow up in the Tower...#Percy and Braddock had to do compulsory military service for like. 15 years or something idk. this is my made up toad lore: toads have to do#at least 15 years of military service in their youth. like not all of them. there's probably like some sort of lottery and if you're#disabled or had a family that depended on you or if your daddy is a corrupt politician or something you'll be spared#the rest can either follow the law and be assigned to the closest tower or like. become a runaway criminal and join a group of bandits#or something#anyway percy and braddock had to do their time in the South Toad Tower so they couldn't just leave with their kid#and raise her in a more child-friendly enviroment#another point of contention! when sasha learns there's another human who was raised in a quaint little farm by frogs in wartwood she just#it's devastating to her because *that could have been her*. she could have been safe and she could have grown up like a normal kid#she could have developed like a normal person instead of becoming... *this*#and she resents Percy and Braddock for not giving her away to someone else when she was little. for not noticing when she started#acting ''abnormal'' as a result of trauma. she could have been normal like Anne. but she wasn't.#pair that to the fact Sasha is the one who remembers Earth the most and the one who wants to go back the most#AND the one who feels the most distant to her adoptive family#and the understanding that she's been *broken into* this world and that she can never go back. even if she finds a way... she can't go back.#she can't bring her REAL parents this monster#she can't explain what happened to her#and even if she went back Amphibia would alwahs haunt her#so. she can't go back. not like this.

Comprehensive Care: Exploring the Types of Disability Support Services in Sydney
Navigating the landscape of disability support can be daunting, but understanding the variety of services available can make a significant difference. Disability support services in Sydney cater to a broad spectrum of needs, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can lead fulfilling and independent lives. Here’s an overview of the different types of disability support services in Sydney and how they contribute to improving quality of life.

Personal Care and Assistance
Daily Living Support: Daily living support services are designed to help individuals with disabilities manage everyday tasks. This includes assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and mobility. These services ensure that individuals can maintain their independence and dignity while receiving the care they need.
In-Home Care: In-home care services provide support within the comfort of the individual’s home. Carers assist with various activities, including meal preparation, cleaning, and medication management. This type of support is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to stay in a familiar environment.
Community Participation
Social and Recreational Activities: Engagement in social and recreational activities is crucial for overall well-being. Disability support services in Sydney offer various programs that encourage social interaction, skill development, and enjoyment. These activities include sports, arts and crafts, community outings, and group classes.
Day Programs: Day programs provide structured activities and opportunities for social engagement outside the home. These programs are designed to enhance social skills, build friendships, and foster a sense of community. They also give caregivers a much-needed break, knowing their loved ones are in a safe and stimulating environment.
Educational and Vocational Support
Special Education Services: Special education services cater to the unique learning needs of individuals with disabilities. These services include personalised education plans, specialised teaching strategies, and support from trained educators. The goal is to provide an inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.
Employment Support: Employment support services help individuals with disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment. These services include job training, resume building, interview preparation, and ongoing workplace support. They empower individuals to achieve financial independence and contribute to their communities.
Health and Well-Being
Therapy Services: Therapy services encompass a range of treatments aimed at improving physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological counselling. Access to these therapies is crucial for managing conditions and enhancing quality of life.
Medical and Nursing Care: For individuals with complex medical needs, specialised medical and nursing care is essential. These services ensure that individuals receive the appropriate medical attention, medication management, and health monitoring. Professional nursing care can be provided at home or in specialised facilities.
Residential Support
Supported Independent Living (SIL): Supported Independent Living services enable individuals with disabilities to live independently while receiving the necessary support. SIL services include help with daily tasks, financial management, and accessing community resources. These arrangements often involve living in shared or individual accommodations with varying levels of support based on individual needs.
Respite Care: Respite care temporarily relieves primary caregivers by offering short-term care for individuals with disabilities. This can be provided in the individual’s home, in a community setting, or in specialised facilities. Respite care ensures that caregivers can take a break while their loved ones continue to receive quality care.
Navigating NDIS and Support Coordination
NDIS Plan Management: Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex. Plan management services assist individuals in managing their NDIS funds, ensuring they are used effectively. This includes budgeting, processing invoices, and financial reporting, allowing participants to focus on their goals.
Support Coordination: Support coordination services help individuals understand and implement their NDIS plans. Coordinators work with participants to identify suitable services, connect with providers, and monitor progress. This personalised support ensures that individuals make the most of their NDIS plans.
Conclusion
The diverse range of disability support services in Sydney reflects the city’s commitment to inclusivity and care. From personal assistance to educational support, these services empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. Understanding and accessing these services can significantly enhance quality of life, providing the necessary support for both individuals and their caregivers. Whether through in-home care, community programs, or specialised therapies, Sydney offers a comprehensive network of support to meet the diverse needs of its residents.
