Hi Ladies, the AusAlert test is happening this Monday 27th July at 12:00pm 🚨🚨

The alert is a nationwide test and compatible mobile phones will sound an alarm for approximately 10 seconds. While this is only a test, we understand that sudden alarms can be unsettling for some people and there may be women feeling nervous about the test.

As a result, we are opening the Karratha Women's Place for a "Coffee & Chat" between 11:30am-12:30pm on Monday, so you do not need to experience the alert on your own 🩷💜

Picnic Club is Back!

Does your child find mealtimes challenging?
Picnic Club is a FREE, play-based, evidence-informed program for children aged 2-5 years who are selective with food, cautious around new foods, or who find mealtimes tricky.

Using a responsive, low-pressure approach, children are supported to build comfort, confidence and positive experiences with food through play, without pressure to taste or eat.

This group is:
✔ Child-led
✔ Neurodiversity-affirming
✔ Responsive feeding informed
✔ Focused on Safety Before Variety

Facilitated by our Dietitian and Occupational Therapist, each session includes playful food exploration, practical strategies for caregivers, and a relaxed picnic environment where children can learn alongside their peers.

📅 Thursdays from 6 August
🕤 9:30-10:30 am

🚨 The NDIS Bill contains another dangerous power that must not be missed.
Proposed section 33(2EA) would allow the Minister to impose caps on:
💰 funding amounts
⏱️ intensity, frequency or duration of supports
👥 worker-to-participant ratios
This is deeply concerning.

A power to cap support ratios could push people into group-based models, even when that is unsafe, inappropriate or inconsistent with their assessed needs.
The NDIS was built on individualised support. It must not be replaced by blunt caps that ignore people’s needs.

Every Australian Counts is calling for this power to be removed.
✅ No caps that override individual need
✅ No forced group models
✅ No reduction of 1:1 or 2:1 support where it is needed
✅ No cuts without proper scrutiny, co-design and review rights
The NDIS must remain a scheme based on safety, dignity, choice and control.
