There is a buzz around the office as the NDIS makes improvements to its processes. We’re really pleased to see decisions approving new build specialist disability accommodation (SDA), which bodes well for the new opportunities in apartments in NSW and Queensland and provides confidence for those wanting to build SDA.
The NDIS has also launched a new pathway that provides more support for people with complex needs accessing the scheme. This should see fewer eligible people missing out on access to vital supports.
The Summer Foundation knows that your quality of life is dependent on good support workers, that’s why we’ve developed a new resource to assist you to train your support staff. You can read more about it here.
Take extra care over the holiday season.
Best wishes,
Penny Paul
