NDIS Services in Ballina

As one of the world’s largest personalisation schemes, the NDIS has a profound impact on the lives of people with disability. It is a national scheme built on the principles of choice and control.

A key factor in achieving this is market robustness. This requires multiple, high-quality suppliers for participants to choose from. To know more about NDIS Services Ballina, visit the Dabba Mallangyirren website or call 0403856995.

NDIS participants requiring physiotherapy services are provided with a choice of providers who can best meet their needs. This means they can maintain their informal support arrangements or work with a Local Area Coordination provider to find suitable support.

APA national president Scott Willis has called for an end to inaccurate rhetoric around price gouging by physiotherapists working under the NDIS. He believes the criticism is damaging to the trusted relationships that physiotherapists have built with their NDIS patients and it is not supported by the facts.

Located on Bundjalung Country, Dabba Mallangyirren is a small, private practice that provides expert assessment, diagnosis and treatment in a supportive environment. The highly qualified therapists take time to understand your unique problems and goals. Their holistic approach incorporates manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and active patient participation. Their focus is on getting you back to a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible.

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help children and adults with a variety of physical and cognitive communication disorders, including difficulty articulating sounds, stuttering, understanding language and other people, or having trouble with their voice. They also deal with conditions that cause a physical disability or injury, such as cerebral palsy.

The first step to becoming an SLP is earning a bachelor’s degree in a field such as linguistics, English, or psychology. Then, you can pursue a master’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from an accredited university. You may also need to complete a clinical fellowship year.

SLPs use a variety of tools and techniques to identify the cause of their clients’ communication problems. They may use informal methods like observation or interviewing, and more formal ones like standardized assessments. They also consider their clients’ cultural values and expectations when developing treatment plans. They also collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as audiologists, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation psychologists.

Our behaviour support team provides evidence based behavioural supports for participants with their NDIS plan. This includes assessment, planning and monitoring of client outcomes. The specialised team uses a person centred approach and is trauma informed. This allows us to help people with complex needs, particularly those with complex behavioural challenges.

We work with people living across rural and regional NSW to provide positive behaviour support services. We are an NDIS registered provider of the Improved Relationships Framework and a member of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Quality and Safeguards Commission. We do not use restrictive practices.

We offer family centred plan management that keeps you in control of how you spend your NDIS funds. This service is available for new and existing participants. You can ask for it at your NDIS planning meeting or during a review. You can also request it in writing, by email or by calling the NDIS helpline. We can then arrange for your plan to be managed by one of our experienced team members.

If you need help finding a job or are looking for more hours at your current workplace, our team can assist with a range of disability employment solutions. We can also provide assistance with job preparation, workplace coaching and training to improve your job performance.

When you use our plan management service, we pay your approved providers directly and manage all the paperwork. This means you have maximum control over how your plan funds are spent. Choosing to use our plan management service doesn’t cost anything extra to your NDIS budget, and it can be added at your planning meeting or review.

Our Ballina team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality support and services. To find out more, contact us today! To know more about NDIS Services Ballina, visit the Dabba Mallangyirren website or call 0403856995.

Meet our Musician: Dani Larkin

Meet our musician: Dani Larkin

To signal the new year and to highlight the wonderful musicians we're welcoming each month here at CreativeMornings/Dublin, we've decided to revive our blog by sharing an interview with our monthly musicians.

This month, Dani Larkin is taking to the stage. Dani hails from the Armagh-Monaghan border and is widely receiving praise as one of Ireland's finest songwriters. A natural storyteller, her music is heavily inspired by the folktales she was raised on, intertwined with elements of traditional melodies and rhythms from around the world. 

On the live music scene, she's opened for Rufus Wainwright, Lisa O'Neill and performed at Ireland Music Week, Output, and at Other Voices Belfast and Ballina. This year, she'll debut at Folk Alliance International and release her debut album, 'Notes For A Maiden Warrior'. 

Michelle sat down with Dani to ask her all about music, creativity and everything in between.

I'm going to kick off and jump straight in! I've read that you use music as a baseline for peace-building, is that right?

Big question to start with but we'll go for it!

Where does the story begin? I did a Masters in International Conflict and Cooperation in Scotland and came back to Belfast in 2015 and I realised it was all well and good sitting in an academic environment talking about change and conflict and thinking and writing about all of the ways change can take place. But for me, I realised music had to come in there somewhere.

It began as an absolute need for myself to reconnect with myself and realise that writing things down and thinking wasn't the only way to change things. That then opened a new world for me. I did an internship with an organisation called Beyond Skin and I learned how to transform conflicts through sound and through songwriting. I remember my very first day; I was very nervous, working with various school groups from throughout the North and I remember seeing the change in those young people from when we started the day to when we finished it. 

So I came away thinking not only are they energised but I'm coming away in awe of their energy. And that is, for me, that's it really: purpose on the planet - making music and creating change. 

Had you always played music or made music for yourself throughout your adolescence? Or was it something that happened around this time after you graduated?

Music is something that's always been there. My mum's family are musicians and I'm so grateful to them all. From when we were very young, we got together every Sunday and the people who could sing, sang and the people who could dance, danced and the people who could tell stories, told stories. Music for me was something that was very living and very much a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I started making music in 2013 before the Masters so that first year of writing and performing music for myself was so explosive. I hadn't encountered anything like it and I can honestly say that when I started making music for myself, that's when I started to uncover things about myself.

It's a gift for me, it's served me so well. It's brought me to places I thought I would never ever get to go. And it's allowed me to delve into worlds that are soulful that are full of the soul and are full of magic and I think that's really beautiful. Maybe sounds quite naive. But it's just the truth. 

Do you think then that creativity and creative pursuits can be a catalyst for change? 

Yes, unequivocally, unequivocally. I love kids, I love working with kids. I love how creativity can really bring out the childlike imagination in ways that adults, we seem to starve ourselves of, for some reason. For me creativity and the power of the imagination are such incredible agents of transformation. It’s not only one kind of transformation, you don't transform only once, it’s an ongoing process. If we can do that in healthy and sustainable ways and by having a bit of craic, why wouldn’t you?!

What does promise mean to you? 

I guess the thing that's so beautiful about promise, is that it's almost of another age or another lifetime, like a child's lifetime. I used to promise things a lot more when I was 5,6,7,8 than I do now that I'm 30. And I think there's something beautiful in that. I think there's something so freeing about being able to promise. 

If I think of it in my adult head it's something to do with sincerity. Sincerity for me is acting according to one's values or morals. 

Your album is coming out in Spring, is that right? 

Do you know what? I'm just going to be brutally honest; I am in awe of the album and how it has developed from me just recording it in the studio in Half Bap Studios in Belfast last March just before we went into lockdown, to where I am now as a musician and a human being. And how listening to the songs on the album now and the different meanings that they have for me. 

It's really amazing and I'm really excited. But it's my first ever album.  

It's called Notes for Maiden Warrior and the first half of the album is slightly more dark. And it moves into a kind of lighter, lighter side in the second half, and then it finishes in mystery. And for me that narrative or that kind of arc that is created through the album is something that is very true. 

This album for me is a homecoming and a discovery at the same time, so it blends this element of folklore and myths and story. But in a very personal sense and very connected to place and very connected to who I am and where I'm from. It's taken me quite a while to grapple with all of those things like identity and home and place and I feel like this album really demonstrates that, and I hope people get a lot from it. I hope they enjoy it. And that's being left in a state of mystery with the last song isn't too disconcerting. 

Do you think that the meaning has changed because the world has changed so much since you started writing it or because you've changed? 

Have I changed? I don't know. Yes is probably definitely the answer. Personally, I've been in various swells of transformation for quite some time, sometimes related to pandemic, sometimes not. And as chaotic as the world is right now and as much pain and suffering and grief that we are experiencing collectively, I also have hope. 

I have hope because I can see things changing in ways that I have never seen in my lifetime before. I think that changes the meaning of the album for me a little bit, because it's called Notes for a Maiden Warrior. 

The notes are the songs, not musical notes, but it's my experience of the world and how I move through it and kind of like a guide for it. And the maiden is the first aspect of the three aspects of womanhood in Celtic mythology of Maiden, Mother, Crone. And warrior reverts back to the idea of Ulster, the Warrior Province. 

The world has changed so much from when the album has been recorded but I know that in sharing this music and in sitting in these songs that we can come together and create the spaces that we need to create to move on and move through this life. 

Do you think if you started making it now, it would be a totally different album?

I don't know because the album was made at the time and I had a very clear idea when I went into the studio of what I wanted it to sound like. I worked very closely with George Sloan and Half Bap Studios, he's an incredible engineer and we co-produced the album together.

And the key thing for me was telling the story and keeping it simple in the way of not going heavy on production, not going in with lots of instruments and lots of synthetic sounds. It was very important that it's like this album is guitar, banjo, harmonium and voice. That's what this album is. And we use those things sparingly.

I've certainly found my voice as a folk musician as Dani Larkin with this album. The next album is being written and I can't tell you how that'll sound because I haven't recorded it yet, but I get the feeling that these are the voices that sound true and it's about keeping it as truthful as possible at every possible stage for me. 

I took on Larkin as a surname in the summer of last year and before that, I'd been performing as Dani. But Larkin was my great grandmother's maternal maiden name that disappeared when she married and it's also that sense of coming home. Taking on that name, finding out that for me my album is predominantly voice and predominantly story and rooted in place. All of those things came together at the time, and so I can't say if I were to do it now would I do it any differently. But I can certainly say that this album is a foundation and I'm excited for what comes next.

'Shark Nets' Are Catching Rays And Killing Them

Jonathan Clark and a boat crew from Sea Shepherd Australia, an organization that works to protect marine animals, approached a “shark net” at Sharpes Beach and discovered a struggling ray.

If help didn’t come soon, the eagle ray was going to die. He was snarled in a submerged net off the coast of Sharpes Beach in Ballina, Australia, and was struggling to break free.

  The eagle ray caught inside of the shark net at Sharpes Beach

The shark net was installed to prevent sharks from getting too close to shore and bothering swimmers. The group regularly monitors the net, although experts argue that shark nets do nothing to protect people. What the nets actually do is lure sharks close to shore with bait and, while some tangled up in the net, others are able to swim above or below the net without getting ensnared.

The group has said that the nets are responsible for accidentally catching and killing hundreds of marine animals each year, including turtles, dolphins, whales and protected sharks like great whites. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies white sharks as a critically endangered species. And, eagle rays get enmeshed in the shark nets, too.

A dolphin caught in a shark net off the coast of Noosa, Queensland, in 2017

“As we approached the net, we noticed a bait ball and saw a large shark under the bait ball,” Clark told The Dodo. “It moved away quickly. We noticed another shape on the seafloor near the net, and using our viewing scope got a very clear view of a dead manta ray that had been heavily predated upon within 10 meters [32 feet] of the net. We then checked the net and found the spotted eagle ray.”

The eagle ray did not move and the crew thought he was already dead. But when a couple of scuba divers jumped in the water, they discovered the sad truth.

“[They] quickly found that the ray was indeed alive and struggling,” Clark said. “Its gills were opening and closing, as was its mouth.”

The entangled eagle ray from above

“It is always a shock to see these beautiful animals caught and struggling,” Clark added.

Sadly, they weren’t allowed to save the eagle ray’s life. The shark net, as well as four other nets in Ballina,  had been installed by the New South Wales (NSW) government, and the only people who could legally touch them were contractors working for the NSW Fisheries Department.

“As captain of the vessel and leader of the campaign, I called NSW Fisheries by telephone and had to leave a message,” Clark said. “I then called an officer directly on his mobile phone.”

Clark finally talked to an officer, he didn’t get good news.

“I was told by the NSW Fisheries officer that they would not send the contractor to release the ray at Sharpes Beach, [and] that the contractor would stick to his normal routine of checking between 12 and 48 hours,” Clark said. “I asked if they would be leaving the ray to die and was told that was correct.”

The second eagle ray the crew found at Lighthouse Beach

“I informed them that we had a capable crew on board who could have released the ray, [and] that we would not even have to enter the water, [but] I was told that we were absolutely not to release that ray,” Clark said. “The officer cited concern for our safety and that if something happened he would not like it on his conscience.”

The second eagle ray the crew found at Lighthouse Beach

The crew could have faced a fine up to $22,000 AUD (about $17,200 USD) had they gone against the officer’s command. With heavy hearts, they left the area, knowing that the eagle ray was going to die.

The crew discovered another eagle ray caught in a different shark net at Lighthouse Beach later that day, but they weren’t allowed to rescue this animal either.

A hammerhead shark caught in a shark net in January 2018

According to the government, since the nets were installed in late 2016, they have ensnared 275 animals, including rays, dolphins, and turtles. “Many sharks and other species are killed and injured unnecessarily in this equipment,” said Clark, noting that many other animal deaths are not reported by officials.

New South Wales, currently has 51 shark nets installed at popular swimming beaches, and 30 nets in Queensland.

Two different rays caught in a shark net in 2017

There are plenty of alternatives to shark nets, and people could use drone technology to detect sharks and warn swimmers of any apprehended danger. Another alternative is to use buoys that emit sounds that deter sharks from getting close. That way, they would not be trapping other marine life.

Shark nets will continue to cause issues for eagle rays and other ocean animals in Australia, but more and more people are voicing their opposition to shark nets. Many are calling for shark nets to be completely phased out altogether so hundreds of animals could be saved.
