💜 Connecting & discovering what’s emerging in our community

TFCM Founder Tammy recently attended the Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs Expo, hosted by Mingle Co. at Woodville Town Hall.

The Expo brought together neurodivergent-led businesses, creators and organisations, with a strong focus on lived experience, representation, entrepreneurship, employment and creating pathways for people to thrive in ways that work for them.

For TFCM attending events like this is about staying connected to what’s happening beyond traditional disability services — discovering emerging supports, building relationships and exploring potential collaborations that may create more choice, opportunities and meaningful community connections for the people we support.

We also love seeing lived experience translated into businesses, ideas and initiatives that challenge conventional pathways and show what’s possible when different ways of thinking are valued.

💜 2026 SA ADHD Conference 💜

Recently TFCM once again attended the South Australia ADHD Conference - something we’ve intentionally done over a number of years.

While ADHD-specific disability funding and supports can be limited; ADHD itself is highly relevant to the disability community. As many of us already understand ADHD often co-occurs/overlaps with other forms of disability/neurodivergence.

For TFCM, continuing to learn about these intersections is part of how we aim to provide quality, whole-person support that consider unique presentations, learning styles and hidden challanges.

This year’s conference explored some particularly relevant areas:

• ADHD & multi-neurodivergence
• Supporting neurodivergent young people and their families to thrive
• Self-awareness and practical strategies across home and school
• Breath, body and regulation tools for everyday stress
• Gut health, nutrition and micronutrients in neurodivergence
• ADHD from the first signs through to lifelong care

We continue to think "outside the box". Looking beyond a single diagnosis or funding category. Understanding that executive functioning, sensory needs, regulation, communication, mental health, environment and physical wellbeing can all influence how someone experiences and participates in their world.

Our mission embodies the importance of continuing to learn from professionals across allied health, education and other fields - particularly those who bring lived experience along with professional knowledge to the conversation.

💜 TFCM TURNS 7 💛

Seven years ago - The Full Circle Movement began with a simple belief; that support could feel different.

More human. More curious. More connected. Built around autonomy, inclusion, integrity, lived experience and around people being given the space to grow into more of who they already are.

Seven years later that belief still sits at the heart of everything we do.

We’ve grown through an ever-changing disability landscape, navigated difficult conversations and shifting systems. We've continued to evolve alongside the people and families that trust us. We’ve advocated, listened, adapted, collaborated and kept learning.

But the part that matters most can’t really be measured in numbers.

It’s in the glimmers.

Someone finding their community. Trying something they once thought was out of reach. Navigating the community with a little more confidence. Discovering a new interest. Speaking up. Making their own choice. Reframing an experience. Finding safety, belonging or simply having a really bloody good day.

We’ve witnessed struggles and triumphs, huge transitions and seemingly tiny wins that were anything but tiny.

And somewhere along the way, the people we set out to support have taught us just as much.

To every person who has trusted us with a piece of their journey. Every family, support worker, mentor, employee, collaborator, allied health professional, local organisation, advocate, referrer, community connection and quiet supporter behind the scenes — thank you.

Thank you for challenging us, teaching us, trusting us and growing alongside us.

Seven years of people.
Seven years of stories.
Seven years of learning, adapting, advocating and creating a sense of belonging.

Keeping Our Finger on the Pulse 💜

Last week TFCM attended "NDIS Sector Insights: Recent Changes, Updates & What’s Next in FY27" at Mawson Lakes — an incredibly well-timed event following the passage of significant new NDIS legislation the night before.

With the NDIS landscape continuing to evolve, staying informed isn’t optional for us. We’re committed to keeping a close eye on sector movements, understanding what changes may mean in practice and continuing to advocate for sustainable, person-centred supports for our community.

It was valuable to hear from sector leaders Liv King, Ifa Saboor, Jennifer Morgan, Belinda Dahan and Cassie Reading, who shared insights into recent reforms, emerging challenges and opportunities plus what providers and the wider disability community may expect as we move through FY27.

Events like these also create important opportunities to connect with others across the sector, exchange perspectives and keep conversations happening about what these changes look like on the ground for participants, families and our networks.

At TFCM, we’ll continue to learn, connect and keep our finger firmly on the pulse as the NDIS evolves. 💜

💜 Resilient & Ready 💜

As TFCM approaches seven years in business; today we had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Women in Business Breakfast: Resilient and Ready, celebrating Small Business Week here in South Australia.

There is something incredibly powerful about a room full of women in business openly sharing the realities of entrepreneurship — the resilience, uncertainty, growth, courage and lessons that happen behind the scenes.

A few key reflections we’re taking away:

✨ Celebrate the parts of yourself others might call “too much” — they may just be your creative edge.
✨ Move beyond fear and over-analysis by making space for intuition and creativity.
✨ Hold an outrageous goal in mind, visualise the person capable of achieving it, and take small steps towards becoming them every day.
✨ Turn the volume down on your inner critic and turn it up the inner coach/best friend.
✨ Become curious about our patterns of self-sabotage so we can consciously choose something different.

For TFCM; continuing to learn, connect and grow as a business has always been about more than business itself.

The stronger and more connected we become, the more that knowledge filters through to the people and communities we support — through our awareness of local services and networks, the quality of what we offer, and our continued commitment to wellbeing, empowerment, capacity building and meaningful connection.

Almost seven years in, we’re still learning, evolving and thinking bigger about what’s possible. 💜

💜 Knowledge is Power 💜

One of our biggest takeaways from attending conferences, workshops and community events is that there is always something new to learn—and when we learn, our community benefits too.

At The Full Circle Movement, we're passionate about connecting people with intentional, evidence-informed and lived experience-led resources that empower people with disability, neurodivergent individuals, families and professionals to make informed choices and advocate for the lives they want to live.

That's exactly why we created our **FREE Neurodivergent-Affirming Resource Hub.**

As we discover powerful presentations, organisations, podcasts, books, articles, websites and practical tools that align with our values, we'll continue adding them to our hub so they're available to everyone.

Because we believe:
• Knowledge builds confidence.
• Information creates choice.
• Choice creates empowerment.
• Empowered people create meaningful change.

There is no shortage mindset here. We love collaborating with organisations, advocates and professionals who are creating genuine positive change because when we share knowledge, we all grow stronger together.

Whether you're a person with disability, parent, carer or fellow professional, we hope our resource hub becomes a place you return to whenever you're looking for trusted, affirming information.

📚 Explore our FREE Resource Hub here: https://www.tfcm.com.au/resources

If you know of a fantastic resource that aligns with our values, we'd love to hear from you. Together, we can continue building a library that empowers our community for years to come.

Welcome to our Resource Hub! This hub has been put together to empower and support individuals with disabilities, as well as their caregivers. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), seeking guidance on managing ADHD or autism, or simply

💜 Leading Through Inclusion 2026 💜

This week, The Full Circle Movement had the privilege of attending the South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability (SACID) – Leading Through Inclusion: Skills for Life Conference 2026.

This year's conference focused on the skills that empower people to live the lives they choose, including:
• Building independence
• Setting and achieving personal goals
• Employment opportunities
• Lifelong learning
• Growing confidence

One of the highlights for us was a powerful workshop presented by Michelle from Decision Agency, co-hosted by Sarah Byrne exploring supported decision-making. Through both lived experience and professional insight, they challenged the historical practice of others making decisions on behalf of people with disability and highlighted the importance of supporting people to remain the authority in their own lives, with decisions guided by their own goals, preferences and values.

We were also inspired by Natalie Wade; Associate Commissioner at the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission who reinforced the importance of understanding, protecting and promoting the rights of people with disability, ensuring these rights are known not only by participants, but by families, providers and the broader community.

These conversations are exactly why we do what we do.

At The Full Circle Movement, we believe true capacity building isn't about doing things for people—it's about creating opportunities for people to develop skills, make informed choices, take positive risks and live lives that reflect their own aspirations.

We're incredibly grateful to SACID for bringing together such passionate advocates, professionals and people with lived experience to continue driving meaningful inclusion across South Australia.

Building communities where people with disability are heard, respected and empowered.

26/06/2026

Today we had the pleasure of attending the Adelaide Disability & WorkAbility Expo at Wayville — and one of the biggest highlights for us was finally experiencing South Australia’s first Sensory Bus, operated by Autism SA.

We’ve been eager to see this initiative in action, and it absolutely lived up to what we hoped it would be.

For many autistic and neurodivergent individuals, busy environments, crowds, noise and constant sensory input can quickly become overwhelming. Too often, this creates barriers to participation in events and community spaces that should be accessible to everyone.

That’s why initiatives like this matter so deeply.

The Sensory Bus offers something so simple, yet so powerful: a safe, calm, low-stimulation space to pause, regulate, reset and return when ready.

Today, we saw people using the space exactly as intended — and it was genuinely moving to witness. It felt like a real step forward in what meaningful inclusion can look like.

True accessibility isn’t just about getting through the door.
It’s about creating environments where people can actually participate, feel safe, and belong.

At TFCM, we’ll always champion services, resources and initiatives that make our communities more inclusive — because this has never been about competition. It’s about collaboration, advocacy, and ensuring our community knows what supports are available to them.

We’re excited to see the Sensory Bus continue showing up at events across SA and helping create spaces where more people can engage in ways that feel safe and sustainable.

If you’d like to follow where the Sensory Bus will be next, check out Autism SA’s website and socials for updates on upcoming events.
