NDIS Navigator
The Final Report of the Independent Review of the NDIS introduced, the "Navigator" role. What exactly is this Navigator role and what will it mean for the NDIS community?
NDIS Support Categories
In this blog article, we take a look at the support categories and try and understand them a little better, so that you can feel comfortable when choosing your supports.
World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the rights and inclusion of people with Down Syndrome around the world.
Reasonable & Necessary
One of the key principles of the NDIS is that support and services must be “reasonable and necessary” in order to be approved and funded by the NDIS. Our latest blog article takes a good look under the hood of this often-referred-to phrase and breaks down the key points you need to know.
?NDIS News
?NDIS is as popular as Medicare, study shows
Australians consider the National Disability Insurance Scheme to be a fundamental government service on par with Medicare and want fraud and waste to be fixed to ensure its sustainability, focus group research shows.

Summer Foundation Podcast
If you are not a subscriber of Reasonable & Necessary with Dr George Taleporos – you are missing out! We love this podcast which aims to simplify the NDIS for participants, their families and anyone supporting NDIS participants to work their way through the system.
Accessible Beaches
As the World Adaptive Surf Championships were held in Byron Bay this month, the spotlight is now on the facilities available for people with disabilities. Only 150 of Australia's nearly 12,000 beaches have some form of access for people with a disability.
Public transport accessibility standards update
This is the first major change to public transport accessibility standards by the federal government in 20 years.
Improved signage and accessible timetables are among the measures included.
