Australia needs 'social transformation' to be 'truly inclusive', says disability royal commission.

Australia's biggest-ever investigation into the discriminatory treatment of people with disability has handed down its findings, and they make for sobering reading.

The disability royal commission has made 222 recommendations to reduce the violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of the roughly one-in-five Australians who live with disability.

After more than four years of witness testimony and 'harrowing' evidence, the disability royal commission wants these changes. Here are the key takeaways.

The 10 key points from the Disability Royal Commission

By Natassia Chrysanthos

The Age & The Sydney Morning Herald - September 29, 2023

[hell-on-sticks]

Today the major hard-right political party in my country put out a video about the National Disability Insurance Scheme. For those overseas, the NDIS is a system by which disabled individuals can have funding plans supporting disability aids, from wheelchairs or prosthetics to sensory equipment.

It's an attack on disabled people every time some politician who thinks we shouldn't be a burden on the taxpayer starts taking potshots at the systems that give us the ability to live our lives. That our lives don't have value and come down to the dollar amount we cost the government, even though it's known that NDIS participants contribute $2 to the economy for every $1 received. But it doesn't matter. To them we're scammers. Leeches. And every day is more and more demoralising hearing these people rant about how we're scamming the country.

The NDIS is far from perfect. Providers hike prices if the client is an NDIS participant so they get more money. Many disabled people in desperate need of major aids like powerchairs aren't considered eligible. But it's a step, and participants aren't scamming the Golden Ideal of the Taxpayer. Disabled people are people too.

Australia isn't really spoken about in a lot of disability discourse, but the NDIS is constantly under attack, and people are left in need unable to access vital disability equipment. The government and politicians assign a dollar amount to our lives and for too many of us that number can be zero.

Nurturing the Heart: Understanding the Social and Emotional Well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities

Welcome to my Blog series on PSYCHOLOGY, WELL-BEING, AND RESILIENCE Where I will highlight 5 interesting topics. Read to explore!

In the rich tapestry of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, the essence of well-being lies in the social and emotional interconnectedness. As highlighted by the Commonwealth of Australia in 2017, this delicate balance serves as the cornerstone upon which both physical and mental health are built.

It's important to recognize that the concept of social and emotional well-being transcends individual experiences, encompassing a web of relationships that extend from the individual to the family and community. As noted by Brown et al. (2023), the nuances of well-being vary across Indigenous communities, shaped by diverse cultural perspectives and historical contexts. The notion of social and emotional well-being acknowledges that a person's well-being is also impacted by the social determinants of health. Indigenous Australians define health as the "social, emotional, and cultural well-being of the whole community" in addition to an individual's physical well-being (Fatima et al., 2023, p.31). This definition is based on a person's relationships to their country, culture, family, spirit, and physical and mental health.

Additionally, the National Agreement acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are essential to better life outcomes for Indigenous Australians. All initiatives carried out by the Agreement must uphold, protect, and enhance these cultures. The following goals have been specifically set by the agreement to promote the cultural wellness of Indigenous Australians as shown in Figure 1 below (indigenoushpf.gov.au, 2024).

Figure 1: Targets to support cultural well-being

(Source: indigenoushpf.gov.au, 2024)

This particular group is marked with suicides and attempts to death based on different stress in life and stress factors. In the words of Smallwood et al., (2023, p.2088), the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders had been facing severe issues over time in search of good living and livelihood. Owing to this there had been intervention which was developed for the betterment of indigenous people living in Australia. Figure 2 below shows the rate of suicide attempts which had been caused by the people of this indigenous group (indigenoushpf.gov.au, 2024). Thus, the intervention of the Mental Health Agreement was formulated to secure sustainability and improve the services provided by the Australian mental health and suicide prevention system. It also aimed to improve the mental health of all Australians and governments have come together to establish the Mental Health Agreement (Masotti et al., 2023, p.741).

Figure 2: Suicide attempts by Aboriginals

(Source: indigenoushpf.gov.au, 2024)

In addition to responding to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into Mental Health, the National Suicide Prevention Adviser's Final Advice, the Mental Health Agreement pledges to carry out work under the Fifth Plan going forward (indigenoushpf.gov.au, 2024). Regional planning and commissioning, priority populations, stigma reduction, safety and quality, gaps in the system of care and suicide prevention are the main areas of attention. On the other hand, psycho-social supports outside the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), workforce, and national consistency for initial assessment and referral are among the priority areas covered by the Mental Health Agreement.

.... What is a body braid?

It's essentially a full-body elastic brace designed to aid with proprioception and prevent hyperextention/provide extra support to weak joints. It also is very good at improving one's posture! A lot of EDS-ers have found success with them - I recommend looking up reviews on tiktok. It won't be a solution for everyone, so take your specific needs into account before purchasing.

As with many braces, it's NOT designed to be worn full-time as over-reliance can lead to atrophy. So always be careful. But it is supposed to be very useful for flares, workouts, and those in need of extra support.

It is adjustable for many body types - the website says "one size fits most" and recommends it for up to 160kg. I'm mid fat, and it fits me.

Here's a link to their website for more info! The body braid system costs $250 USD - so it is pricey. The core system- without the leg strap extensions - is $185. And the full system, including arm straps (which i don't have; they're a new addition) is $390.

Some people have found their insurance will cover it - if you're in Australia and on the NDIS, they may cover it depending on your plan. I'm not on NDIS; thankfully my mother was able to buy it for me with her tax return. I've been pining after it for a very very long time.

I only just received mine, so feel free to come back in a week or two and ask how it's going for me!

This is the core braid, in the "sitting" position.

This is the system with the leg straps. I have not yet tried the leg straps, as it's recommended to get used to the core braid first. But there are multiple ways to wear the thing, and plenty of ways to wrap it to best stabilise your own joints - you don't have to do it exactly as is instructed!

and mind you, this is ONLY seek (which is a big job board in australia and NZ). I have NO idea the amount of applications these places ALSO HAVE across other platforms such as indeed, jora, adzuna, ethicaljobs (for the NGO/charity etc sectors for the jobs in housing or disability support jobs etc), the dreaded linkedin AND all the other job sites.... and actual employer sites that I've applied on directly. (except for the dept of communities and justice (dcj) housing officer job that I had an info session for just on wednesday this last week.... where there were 120 other applicants in there with me, but STATEWIDE [bc it's the new south wales gov housing dept homes nsw]). but yeah. fuck off with the "nobody wants to work anymore" bs.

NDIS Web Design

Your website is more than just your online presence—it’s a powerful statement of your brand’s values, vision, and commitment to its audience. For National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) providers, striking the right balance between brand values and user accessibility isn’t just a design challenge; it’s a mission-critical objective. 

This article will help you discover why an NDIS website design is pivotal not just for aesthetic appeal but for building genuine, inclusive connections in the digital sphere.

The Importance of Reflecting NDIS Providers’ Values in Their Website Design

How NDIS providers present themselves online can profoundly impact their overall reach and effectiveness. NDIS website designer, therefore, plays a pivotal role in how these entities are perceived by the public and, more importantly, by the communities they serve.

The NDIS landscape is diverse, encompassing a broad spectrum of services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. It’s not just about offering services; it’s about empowering, enabling, and enhancing lives. 

By effectively leveraging NDIS website design, providers can create platforms that resonate with their audience’s aspirations and needs. This resonance fosters trust, encourages engagement, and ensures potential beneficiaries understand the full scope of services. In essence, your website becomes a bridge between the NDIS provider and the individuals it seeks to assist.

Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work for NDIS Providers

In website design, there’s a growing trend towards customisation and personalisation. This is particularly true for specialised sectors like NDIS providers, where generic solutions often need to represent the nuances and intricacies of the services adequately.

A one-size-fits-all approach to website design can lead to several issues for NDIS providers. Firstly, it risks diluting the provider’s unique brand identity in a sea of generic templates and visuals. This could make it difficult for users to differentiate between providers or fully grasp the unique value propositions of each.

Secondly, NDIS beneficiaries and their families seek tailored solutions that address their needs and challenges. A generic website design might need to adequately communicate the bespoke services and solutions a provider offers, potentially leading to missed opportunities and reduced engagement.

At the heart of this is the need for website design for NDIS Providers to be adaptive, responsive, and deeply rooted in the values of the provider it represents. Tailored web solutions ensure that the platform is user-friendly and genuinely reflective of the provider’s values, mission, and commitment to serving the disability community. By eschewing the one-size-fits-all approach, NDIS providers can better position themselves as genuinely participant-centred entities in the digital space.

Finding the Perfect Balance of Branding and Accessibility

Branding and accessibility often intersect in ways that many don’t anticipate. While it’s essential to have a website that resonates with a brand’s values, it’s equally crucial to ensure it is accessible to all its potential users. 

At 21 Webs, we understand the nuances of NDIS website design and how it intersects with branding. Our team works tirelessly to find the perfect balance, ensuring that the brand’s identity shines through while still catering to the diverse needs of every user. Through innovative design approaches, we strive to make every website a harmonious blend of brand representation and user accessibility.

Catering to Users with Disabilities

A profound understanding of user needs and experiences lies at the heart of outstanding website design. Designing with empathy means going beyond aesthetics and functionality; it’s about genuinely understanding and catering to the unique needs of users with disabilities. As dedicated NDIS website designer, 21 Webs emphasises this empathetic approach. 

We invest time in user testing and ongoing feedback to ensure our designs resonate with and serve the needs of those with disabilities. In a world where the internet is a primary source of information, connection, and services, we are steadfast in our commitment to creating inclusive and barrier-free websites for all.

Ensuring Your NDIS Services Are Accurately Portrayed Online

A well-crafted NDIS website design goes beyond aesthetic appeal. It clearly represents the services provided, ensuring users have an accurate understanding of what they can expect. A thoughtfully designed website speaks volumes, emphasising the trustworthiness and professionalism of the NDIS service provider.

Choosing the right NDIS website designer is a critical step in this journey. A seasoned designer will be adept in creating visually pleasing interfaces and have a keen understanding of the NDIS values, ensuring that your site truly resonates with the audience you aim to serve. At the core of every successful website design is aligning the platform’s look and feel with the brand’s identity, mission, and services.

The Primary Functions of NDIS software for providers

NDIS Client Management Softwareis a tool that is primarily used by disability service providers in Australia. Its focus is on optimizing the business processes of the care providers and overall helping them to manage operations, streamline areas like staff activity, improve workflow, client care, and track the financials.

The main benefit of the NDIS Client Management Software created by specialized NDIS software providers is that it is aligned with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) compliance requirements. Some of the common and most used features of this software are client record management, rostering functions, claims and invoicing, and access to the client’s budget and care plans.  

A top-of-the-line NDIS software for providers has several cutting-edge attributes that help care providers reduce tedious and time-consuming manual processes. These include billing, rostering, invoicing, claim requests to NDIS, and billing. With the software, providers are also able to manage efficiently all forms of client services and stay on course to meeting NDIS compliance requirements while saving time in maintaining updated annual cost structure changes. The software is, in short, a one-stop destination for providing optimized services by NDIS care providers.

The reason why the NDIS Client Management Software is so popular among care providers is the many benefits they offer, chiefly automating compliance requirements and other mundane tasks, leaving providers with time to focus on the core activity of patient care. The most optimized software simplifies several complications and processes. Since the goal of the NDIS software for providers working with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is to make the process as efficient and cost-effective as possible, the software is an ideal platform to achieve this end as it handles the most difficult and complicated activities. 

Use-case Scenario of the NDIS Client Management Software

To understand the working of the software better, let’s study in some detail one of the activities that are simplified by the NDIS software for providers.

The area to be covered now is related to claim and billing time which is reduced by over 90% by the software.

Without this software, the same billing processes are repeated again and again, thereby doubling up claim submission time and wasting valuable company resources, and adding to your overhead. Regardless of the size of the organization, whether large or small, savings from reduced overheads not only free up resources but allows providers to look after more critical aspects of patient care leading to enhanced quality of disability care services.

Now, how can this problem of billing and invoicing be taken care of by NDIS Client Management Software? On this platform, NDIS payment requests and invoices are easily generated and once the data of the clients and workers are entered into the system, the manual process is vastly reduced or eliminated as the software is fully automated. The admin team can quickly track all payments currently being processed by the NDIS through a simple status icon that is automatically updated.

The NDIS and Disability Services

The NDIS supports anyone with disability to get more independence, spend more time with family, and take part in their community. It also focuses on early intervention where getting support at the right time can reduce the impact of disability services ndis.

NDIS navigation services can help people access these services. The NDIS also only funds disability supports, not healthcare-associated costs.

Psychosocial disability

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognises psychosocial disability, offering essential support to individuals whose mental health conditions impact their daily lives. This type of disability support can help people achieve the best possible outcomes in their lives, enabling them to live a life that is not defined by their diagnosis. In addition to clinical and health services, these supports can include nonclinical disability supports such as recovery coaching.

This support is designed to minimise life’s stressors so that you can focus on your recovery. It involves a qualified professional who partners with you to source and organise your supports and works towards your goals. In addition to this, you may also receive therapeutic supports, such as counselling, psychology, physiotherapy, and behaviour support.

One of the most important aspects of disability support for psychosocial disabilities is ensuring that it is based on a holistic approach. This is crucial for addressing the root causes of the disability and promoting resilience.

Physical disability

When dealing with a physical disability, it is essential to find the right support services. These can include physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. These services can help you manage your condition and maintain your independence. They can also provide emotional and social support to help you cope with your disability.

These services can also include helping you deal with obstacles in your life, such as barriers to communication. This could include videos that don’t have captioning or a text option for people with vision impairments, or technical language that prevents someone who thinks differently from understanding an article.

A physical disability may affect your mobility and motor control, but it can also have a profound impact on your psychological and social functioning. These disabilities can be addressed by specialist disability support services, which are now largely funded by the ndis providers. These services can include physiotherapy, speech therapy and exercise physiology. They can also prescribe assistive technology and equipment.

Mental health condition

A mental health condition can be an obstacle to accessing the NDIS. However, there are services available that can help you to manage your condition. These services can improve your social and economic participation. They can also offer you the clinical support you need. They are known as community supports.

To be eligible for the NDIS, you must have a mental health condition that causes significant functional impairments in your daily life. This includes depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, phobias, schizophrenia, and more. You can prove your disability by submitting proof of the condition and the level of impairment it causes.

In addition, you must be able to demonstrate that your condition is permanent. This may not be easy for people who have episodic conditions that fluctuate in severity. In these cases, the NDIS may require more evidence of your condition and its impact on your daily life. In this case, you will need to submit documentation from your GP or mental health professionals.

Eligibility

The NDIS provides Australians with permanent and significant disabilities with the supports they need to participate in everyday activities. This can include navigating daily routines, rebuilding confidence in regular activities, and fostering a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. It can also help individuals reconnect with community life and social interactions, while promoting educational pursuits and fostering employment opportunities.

To qualify for NDIS support, you must have a permanent impairment that significantly hinders one or more of the following activities: mobility, communication, socialization, learning, and self-management. Impairments that are temporary or undergoing treatment may not meet the criteria.

The NDIS will assess your eligibility by reviewing your application and supporting documentation. It will then determine whether you meet the age and residency requirements, or disability and early intervention requirements. It will also consider your need for ongoing support and whether you are already receiving assistance.

The NDIA will use this information to decide on the right plan for you.

The service provider will then work with the participant to form an agreement that specifies the type, design, and location of their SDA. To learn more about SDA, visit the NDIS SDA Pricing Arrangements page and the NDIS SDA Operational Guideline.

BASP

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a vital program in Australia that provides funding and support to individuals with disabilities. Among its many services, NDIS transport services play a crucial role in empowering participants to access work, education, healthcare, and community activities. In this blog, we explore the ins and outs of NDIS transport services in Sydney, helping participants and their families understand how to make the most of this support.

What are NDIS Transport Services?

NDIS transport services are designed to assist participants who face challenges in using public transport due to their disability. The goal is to enhance independence and mobility, ensuring participants can engage in everyday activities.

Depending on individual plans and eligibility, NDIS transport support may include:

Funding for taxis or rideshare services like Uber.

Access to community or specialist disability transport providers.

Support worker assistance for transportation.

Who is Eligible for NDIS Transport Support?

Transport funding under the NDIS is available to participants who cannot independently use public transport due to their disability. Eligibility is assessed during the planning stage and depends on:
