There has been a lot of discussion this week about proposed changes to supports for autistic children and the future of early intervention services under the NDIS.

The Government’s new “Thriving Kids” initiative is designed to provide more community-based and early support programs for children with developmental delays and autism, particularly those with lower support needs.

Current NDIS participants are not losing supports immediately, and the changes are expected to roll out gradually over the next few years.

However, many families and advocates are asking important questions about how therapies and individual supports will continue to be accessed in the future.

As more information becomes available, it will be important for families, carers and providers to stay informed and involved in the conversation. We will post updates as they become available.

Big changes are coming to the NDIS.
Here’s what you need to know 💬

The government has recently announced a major overhaul of the NDIS, with changes being rolled out over the next few years.

Here are some of the key updates 👇

✨ Stricter eligibility rules
Access to the NDIS will shift from diagnosis based entry to assessments based on how a condition impacts day to day life.

📉 Fewer participants over time
The scheme is expected to reduce from around 760,000 participants to about 600,000 by 2030.

🧩 New supports outside the NDIS
Some people may transition to alternative programs like foundational supports or supports designed specifically for children.

💰 Changes to funding and plans
There will be tighter controls on funding, including limits on some supports like social and community participation.

🔍 More oversight and provider regulation
Expect increased provider requirements and new systems aimed at improving transparency.

💚 What does this mean for you?
These changes are being introduced gradually, and everyone’s situation will be different.

If you’re unsure how this impacts you or your family, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

We’re here to help you understand what’s changing and what your options are.

🍁 As the days start to get a little shorter and the evenings roll in a bit earlier, it’s easy to feel less motivated to get moving.

That’s completely normal.

But staying active doesn’t have to mean long workouts or big commitments. Small, simple movement throughout your day can make a real difference to how you feel.
Here are a few gentle ways to keep moving this season:

🍂Take advantage of the daylight when you can, even a short walk in the morning or during lunch�
🍁Stretch while watching TV or winding down in the evening�
🍃Keep things social by going for a walk with a friend or family member�
🎋Set small, realistic goals that feel manageable for you

Most importantly, be kind to yourself. Some days will feel easier than others, and that’s okay.

If you need a little extra support or guidance, our team is always here to help you find what works best for you 🤍

Rather be at home? That’s completely okay 💛

We know that getting to appointments isn’t always easy. Whether it’s a busy schedule, mobility challenges, or simply feeling more comfortable in your own space, sometimes coming into the clinic just isn’t the right fit.

That’s why we offer home visits.

We come to you, so you can receive the support you need in a place that feels safe, familiar, and comfortable. It also means we can tailor our approach to your everyday environment, making therapy more practical and meaningful.

Care should work around your life, not the other way around.

If home visits would make things easier for you or your family, we’re here to help.

Looking for ways to keep the kids entertained in the second week of the school holidays? We’ve got you covered 🎉

Ballarat is full of great, family friendly things to do, whether you’re heading out for a big day or just looking for something simple and fun.

You’ve already got classics like Sovereign Hill, Ballarat Wildlife Park and the Ballarat Mechanics' Institute on your list, but here are a few more ideas to mix it up 👇

🌿 Get outdoors at Lake Wendouree
Perfect for a walk, scoot or bike ride. There are playgrounds, space to run around, and plenty of spots for a picnic.

🚂 Visit the Ballarat Tramway Museum
A fun and slightly different outing where you can ride the trams and enjoy a bit of local history.

📚 Pop into your local library
Ballarat libraries often run school holiday programs, craft sessions and storytime, making it an easy and low cost option.

🛝 Check out a new playground
Sometimes the simplest outings are the best. Try somewhere new and let the kids burn off some energy.

Remember, holidays don’t have to be packed to be meaningful. A mix of outings, rest, and simple play can go a long way 💛

If you’re needing support over the school holidays, our team is here to help.

Wishing our wonderful community a very happy and restful Easter 🐣

Whether you’re spending it with family, getting out into the fresh air, or simply taking a well-earned pause, we hope this long weekend gives you the chance to slow down and recharge.

It’s a good reminder that rest is just as important as movement when it comes to looking after your body and mind.

From all of us, stay safe, enjoy the chocolate (in moderation 😉), and take care of yourselves.

Happy Easter 💛 From the Ballarat Allied Care team!
