National Carers Week | A Heartfelt Thank You πŸ’œ

This National Carers Week, Caringa would like to recognise and celebrate the incredible unpaid carers who provide ongoing support to family members, friends, and loved ones every day.

Your dedication, compassion, and selflessness make a profound difference in the lives of those you care for. Through your support, encouragement, and advocacy, you help people maintain their independence, achieve their goals, and enjoy a better quality of life.

The care you provide often happens quietly behind the scenes, but its impact is truly extraordinary. Your commitment strengthens families, builds stronger communities, and brings comfort, dignity, and opportunity to those who need it most.

To every unpaid carer, thank you. The support you offer is truly special, and your contribution does not go unnoticed.

πŸ’œ Happy National Carers Week from all of us at Caringa.

πŸ’š World Mental Health Day | 10 October πŸ’š

At Caringa, we know that mental health is just as important as physical health. Today, on World Mental Health Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to check in with themselves and those around them.

A kind word, a listening ear, or simply reaching out can make a big difference. Let's continue to build a community where everyone feels supported, valued, and connected. πŸ’š

πŸ“š Did You Know? Employment Supports for School Leavers Are Changing!

Did you know that School Leavers Employment Supports (SLES) funding is being phased out, with a transition deadline of 30 June 2027?

As part of this change, the terminology is shifting from SLES to Youth Employment Assistance (YEA).

The new approach focuses on moving away from long-term skill preparation and towards flexible, outcomes-based supports that help participants build pathways to and secure meaningful, real employment opportunities.

Now is a great time to start learning about these upcoming changes and what they may mean for future employment supports.

πŸ’™ Important NDIS Update: Changes to New and Reassessed Plans πŸ’™

From 1 October 2026, changes introduced under the NDIS Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Act 2026 will apply to all new NDIS plans and plans undergoing reassessment.

Key changes include:
πŸ”Ή Social and Community Participation funding may be reduced by up to 50%.
πŸ”Ή Improved Daily Living funding may be reduced by up to 10%.

βœ… Some supports will be protected from these reductions, including eating and drinking supports, education supports, employment supports, and disability-related health supports.

πŸ“‹ NDIS plans may also be suspended if a participant or nominee does not respond to five documented formal requests for information.

We understand these changes may feel overwhelming for participants, families and carers. Caringa offer free and confidential NDIS plan scans to help you better understand your plan, any changes that may affect your individual circumstances and prepare for the future.

If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to book a free plan scan, please contact our friendly team:

β€οΈπŸ‘‘ Have you been to the Crown Hotel Motel in Grafton recently? πŸ‘‘β€οΈ

We were fortunate to enjoy a lovely lunch there this week, taking in the beautiful riverside setting and everything the venue has to offer.

With great company, good conversations, and delicious food, it was such a wonderful way to spend the day. Sometimes it's the simple things, like sharing a meal and spending time together, that create the best moments and memories.

We had a fantastic time and look forward to visiting again soon! 🍽️❀️

πŸ’™πŸŽ΅ Look out, world... Abe's got the moves! πŸŽ΅πŸ’™

Abe had an absolutely fantastic time at Grafton Brewing Co, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the amazing weekly performance by Rock Chix! 🀘✨

With plenty of enthusiasm and a big smile, he brought the fun to the dance floor and showed off some seriously nifty moves. πŸ•ΊπŸ˜Ž The energy, the music, and the smiles made for a memorable day out!

A huge thank you to the talented Rock Chix for another fantastic performance. We can't wait to be back next week to enjoy more great music, good times, and see what surprises they have in store for us! πŸ’™πŸŽΆβœ¨
