Becoming a Registered Service Provider With NDIS Community Services

Community access involves more than just ramps and wheelchairs. It's about building relationships and empowering participants to navigate their communities like pros.

Experienced coordination staff turn your NDIS plan into action. They can assist you with a variety of capacity-building supports, such as liaising with allied health professionals and building your decision-making skills.

Become a registered service provider

Becoming a registered service provider with NDIS Community Services is an important step for anyone who wants to provide disability support. It ensures that you are qualified to deliver high-quality services and adhere to government standards. It also gives you credibility and trust amongst potential clients.

The NDIS is a national scheme that offers crucial financial support for Australians with enduring and substantial disabilities. Individuals enrolled in the scheme receive a personalised plan that lists their goals and allocates a set amount of funding for their chosen supports. These supports can include anything from a personal assistant to transport services.

Achieving success in the NDIS market requires a strong online presence and quality client reviews. Moreover, it is important to develop and update policies and procedures in accordance with NDIS Practice Standards. These steps can cost money, but they can help you attract more participants and position your business for sustainable growth in the sector.

NDIS funding

The NDIS provides funding for a range of supports to help participants achieve their goals. These include home support, social participation, and capacity building. The NDIS also provides funding for access to employment and improving health. Its operating costs are funded by the Australian government.

In addition to these, the NDIS funds a variety of community services and other support providers. These services are outlined in your NDIS plan and must comply with NDIS guidelines. The NDIS has a wide range of support categories and you can find more information on them in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

For example, the increased social and community participation support category can be used to pay for art classes, sports coaching, and other activities that help build independence. However, you may need to pay for additional expenses such as transport and accommodation. NDIS funding is based on the needs of each participant and can be changed if you have a change in circumstances.

Community access

As a core support, community access ndis provides funding for assistance with social and community participation. This can mean everything from a friend accompanying you to book club to someone taking you to the movies or sports practice. The only rule is that the activity must be deemed reasonable and necessary under the goals of your plan.

Regular participation in the community can help you cultivate relationships with others and boost your self-esteem. It can also lead to a greater acceptance of your disability and more meaningful life.

If you are interested in community access, contact your local area coordinator to discuss your current situation and supports. They can help you understand your NDIS plan and connect you to local providers. They may also be able to talk about the ILC program, even if you aren’t eligible for it. You can also ask for a virtual meet and greet with a Maple Navigator.

Getting started

The process of becoming an NDIS registered service provider is a lengthy one. However, it’s essential to get started as quickly as possible. You can start by finding a professional that can help you register with the NDIS. They can also assist with preparing business documents and developing a website.

NDIS participants require a comprehensive support approach that is coordinated with mainstream services like health and education. This is especially important for those with a mental health condition. However, there are still challenges that need to be addressed in delivering these supports.

The NDIS is often viewed as an oasis in the desert, or a lifeboat in a sea of funding cliffs. These metaphors highlight the problem of a market-based approach that’s not working for people with disability, or for governments. The solution may lie in foundational market reforms that better reflect the nature of participants, supports, and providers. These reforms could also include contestable arrangements to improve market outcomes, and support a good life for participants.

A Melting Pot of Influences: Foreign and Native Legacies and their Contributions to Canadian Culture

Canadian culture embodies a diverse tapestry of influences, reflecting the nation’s historical and contemporary connections with other regions across the globe. Among those contributions, Europe has played a particularly significant role in molding multiple facets of Canadian life, ranging from fashion and cuisine to leisure activities, entertainment, and philosophical paradigms. This essay seeks to expound upon the European underpinnings in Canadian culture and the ways in which these legacies have merged with Indigenous and other international elements to forge the distinctive cultural blend that characterizes modern-day Canada.

The realm of Canadian fashion is predominantly shaped by renowned European designers, such as Adidas, Nike, H&M, Inditex, LVMH, TJX, and Kering, among others. Similarly, the eclectic culinary landscape of Canada draws inspiration from a wide array of global sources, with European cuisine holding a prominent position. In recent years, East Asian and South Asian dishes have gained increased popularity, largely attributed to the influx of immigrants from these regions. Canadian architecture likewise traces its roots to Europe, being primarily influenced by French and English styles, as well as neo-Classical designs from Italy and Brutalist structures from Soviet Russia. Recreational activities in the country are shaped by a combination of European and Indigenous impacts. European-derived sports, such as football, competitive swimming, baseball (inspired by cricket), tennis, volleyball, golf, water polo, rugby, gymnastics, and boxing, as well as many more, coexist alongside Indigenous-inspired sports, such as hockey, basketball, and canoeing.

The entertainment industry in Canada shares a similar European origin story, with writing, cinema, and music chiefly rooted in European traditions, but these forms of art have all evolved independently, leading to the vibrant amalgamation of the music scene in contemporary Canada. Canada’s modern music landscape is a vivid mosaic of wide-ranging genres, encompassing K-pop, American folk music, European synth and electronic music, classical compositions, big bands, African American rap and jazz, English rock, country music, and more. Modern drama and theatrical traditions can trace their genesis to ancient Greek theatre and the works of distinguished playwrights such as Shakespeare and Cervantes. Likewise, numerous philosophical, economic, and cultural concepts have European origins, with democracy deriving from ancient Greece and the modern parliamentary system from England. Legal frameworks and systems of governance in Canada also stem from ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the British Empire.

Most of the prominent businesses in modern day Canada are multinational organizations with an international origin. Nonetheless, a select few venerable brands have endured since the era of the fur trade. Among these, Hudson’s Bay Company stands as a notable example, holding the distinction as the world’s oldest continuously operating international enterprise. Its storied history and longevity serve as a testament to its adaptability and resilience in the ever-evolving global marketplace. Canadian traditions also exhibit European influences, with celebrations like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Additionally, Thanksgiving symbolizes a harmonious blend of Indigenous and European cultures. The holiday originated in Massachusetts in 1621, when settlers and the Wampanoag tribe shared an autumn harvest celebration.

The multifaceted nature of Canadian culture bears witness to the country’s abundant and diverse heritage, with European impacts pervading various aspects of its identity. Through the intertwining of Indigenous, European, and global elements, Canada has cultivated a unique cultural merging that epitomizes its enduring commitment to inclusiveness and diversity. As the nation continues to progress, this intricate fusion of influences will remain an integral part of its essence, perpetuating the spirited and dynamic character of Canadian society.

NBA at Disney World – Proposed Hotel Room Trade

With the NBA officially restarting its season at Walt Disney World, there had been a lot of discussion about where the players would be staying. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported those answers yesterday:

Gran Destino: Bucks, Lakers, Raptors, Clippers, Celtics, Nuggets, Jazz, Heat

Grand Floridian: Thunder, 76ers, Rockets, Pacers, Mavericks, Nets, Grizzlies, Magic

Yacht Club: Blazers, Kings, Pelicans, Spurs, Suns, Wizards

This led to an amazing tweet from known Disney World fan, Robin Lopez:

I will trade hotel rooms with any @trailblazers players @Dame_Lillard @CJMcCollum @carmeloanthony

— Robin Lopez (@rolopez42) June 17, 2020

(To be fair, I would rather stay at Yacht Club than in Gran Destino, too.)

Things then continued to spiral out from there, including discussions about the value of Stormalong Bay and whether or not people at Destino get full access to Blizzard Beach. You can see some of that fall out in this summary from Bleacher Report.

Relatedly: I am so ready to have some live sports back on tv.

UPDATE: Here’s a nice summary from Axios of all the procedures in place for the NBA at Disney World: [ LINK ]

Sony introduserer Alpha 9 II

Dato: 03-10-2019 16:00 CEST Opprinnelig tittel på pressemeldingen: Sony introduserer Alpha 9 II Kategori: , foto Alpha 9 II

Nye Alpha 9 II kombinerer Alphas enestående hastighet med nye funksjoner for å møte proffenes behov. Oppgradert tilkobling og bedre arbeidsflyt vil gjøre hverdagen lettere for sportsfotografer og fotojournalister.

I dag annonserer Sony Alpha 9 II (modell ILCE-9M2). Den siste modellen til Sony kommer fra den kritikerroste serien med α™(Alpha™) fullformatskameraer med utbyttbart objektiv. Kameraet er laget spesielt for å hjelpe profesjonelle fotografer som driver med fotojournalistikk og sportsfotografering.

Den nye Alpha 9 II bygger på den utrolige arven fra Alpha 9, og beholder blant annet den banebrytende hastigheten. I tillegg holder kameraet på funksjoner innen autofokus og autoeksponering, samtidig som ny teknologi også tilkommer. Oppdateringer innen tilkobling og overføring, seriefotografering og nye autofokusalgoritmer er noen av de oppdaterte funksjonene til kameraet. 

The latest model from Sony’s acclaimed line-up of α™(Alpha™) full-frame interchangeable lens cameras has been created specifically to support working professionals in the fields of sports photography and photojournalism.

The new Alpha 9 II builds on the impressive legacy of the original Alpha 9, maintaining ground breaking speed performance including blackout-free continuous shooting[i] at up to 20 frames per second[ii] with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking, 60 times per second AF/AE calculations[iii] while incorporating even more functionality driven directly from the voice of professionals.Updates include significantly enhanced connectivity and file delivery, continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with mechanical shutter, evolved AF performance with newly optimised algorithms, a re-designed build to enhance durability and operability and more.

“The voice of our customers is absolutely critical to Sony – we are always listening,” said Yann Salmon Legagneur, Director of Product Marketing, Digital Imaging, Sony Europe.“The Alpha 9 II is the direct result of countless feedback sessions with agency, sports and news photographers since the launch of the original Alpha 9. We’ve added connectivity and network capabilities that drastically improve the professional workflow, while also making subtle adjustments to design, interface and processing power that complete the user experience. Complemented by our extremely versatile E-mount system – with 55 native lenses introduced at this point, including the super-telephoto 600mm and 400mm G Master™ series lenses – this new camera is a tool unlike any other for professionals either in the field or on the field.”

Raising the Bar for Built-in Connectivity in the Professional’s Workflow

The Alpha 9 II includes an in-built 1000BASE-T Ethernet terminal, enabling gigabit communication for high-speed, stable data transfer operations.Additionally, File Transfer over SSL or TLS encryption (FTPS) is supported for increased data security and PC remote (tether) shooting performance is improved, with decreased release time lag and reduced live view screen delay when using the ‘Remote Camera Tool’ desktop application[iv]. The speed of the camera’s built-in wireless LAN functionality has also been increased, adding a stable and fast 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11ac)[v] band, in addition to the 2.4 GHz provided in the Alpha 9. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards are all supported.

Designed to improve the speed of news agencies’ workflow, the Alpha 9 II features a new Voice Memo function that allows spoken information to be attached to images in the form of voice memos that can be replayed when the images are reviewed.The voice data can also be included with images sent to an editor, giving them important information needed for effective editing.Alternatively, a field photographer can also use the ‘Transfer & Tagging add-on’ “Imaging Edge™” application[vi] to transfer voice with the images to their mobile device and have the voice memos automatically[vii] converted to text and added to the JPEG images in the form of IPTC metadata[viii].All of this can be done automatically or manually, selectable by the photographer.

By combining wireless voice / image transfer and automatic voice to text conversion with the ability to auto transfer images with attached voice memos via FTP, it is possible to shoot and transfer the results to an FTP server without ever having to operate a smartphone.FTP settings within the app can also be sent to a camera via Bluetooth®, allowing for a faster workflow.

The Platinum Standard for Speed and Auto Focus Performance

The new Alpha 9 II shares the same acclaimed 35mm full-frame stacked 24.2 MP[ix] Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with integral memory as the original Alpha 9, giving it the same unmatched speed performance and outstanding image quality. The new model can shoot continuously and completely silently[x] at 20 fps for up to 361 JPEG images[xi] or 239 compressed RAW images[xii], with no viewfinder blackout, allowing the photographer to follow the subject and action with no interruption to the EVF during picture taking. For times when mechanical shutter is preferred or required, the new Alpha 9 II has been improved to shoot at up to 10 fps, about 2x the speed of the Alpha 9.

The camera is able to function whilst continuously calculating Auto Focus and Auto Exposure at up to 60 times per second, with newly optimised AF algorithms that provide notably enhanced AF precision and performance, ensuring that even the most erratic subject motion, often experienced in sports, is captured with high precision. Also useful for sporting events, the camera now offers an anti-flicker[xiii] shooting mode that automatically detects and adjusts for the presence of fluorescent or artificial lighting to maximise image quality.

The advanced focusing system in the new Alpha 9 II is comprised of 693 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approximately 93% of the image area, as well as 425 contrast AF points. This Fast Hybrid Auto Focus system achieves extremely fast and accurate performance, ensuring all fast-moving subjects are accurately captured. Additional notable focusing capabilities include Real-time Eye AF with right eye / left eye selection, Real-time Eye AF for animals[xiv] – augmented with a new algorithm, Real-Time Eye AF for movie[xv], Real-time Tracking,[xvi] selectable focus frame colour, Touch Pad focus point control while using the viewfinder and more. AF can continuously track even in continuous shooting is greater than F16[xvii], providing further accuracy for shots that require slower shutter speeds.

Refined Build and Operability

Upgraded BIONZ X™ image processing engine gains maximum benefit from the sensor’s fast readout speed. Processor works with front-end LSI to enhance speed in AF/AE detection, image processing, face detection and accuracy, and more Upgraded dust and moisture resistant[xviii] design to meet the needs of professionals in even the most challenging outdoor conditions.Stronger sealing provided at all body seams as well as the battery compartment cover and media slot Latest image-processing algorithm reduces noise in the medium-to-high sensitivity range while improving subjective resolution and image quality 5-axis optical in-body image stabilisation system that provides a shutter speed advantage of 5.5 steps[xix] Improved grip configuration for even greater comfort and sure hold.Compatible with Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip Improved button design and feel. Increased diameter and feedback of the ‘AF-ON’ button; a refined multi-selector joystick design; an exposure compensation dial lock button and a redesigned shape and new position for the rear dial Redesigned shutter mechanism to suppress even the slightest movement that can cause image blur. Tested for durability in excess of 500,000 shutter cycles[xx] USB Type-C™ connector that supports fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer Dual media slots that are both compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II SD cards, allowing higher overall capacity and faster read/write speeds Digital audio interface has been added to the camera’s Multi Interface Shoe™ (MI Shoe) enabling the new ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit to be connected directly to the MI Shoe for cleaner, clearer audio recordings
