FINGERS CROSSED. Well done, everyone. We shouldn't have to, but so far, it's working.

Lately I've been trying to find the words to describe what it feels like working in the disability sector, and I keep coming back to one term: moral injury.
Moral injury isn't burnout. It isn't compassion fatigue. It isn't being "too emotional" or caring too much.

It's what happens when you're repeatedly placed in situations where your values, ethics, and professional knowledge tell you one thing, but the system allows or demands another.

It's knowing a participant needs support and watching them fight for it.
It's seeing families pushed to breaking point while trying to navigate impossible processes.

It's spending hours advocating, escalating, gathering evidence, writing reports, and explaining the same thing over and over again, only to watch people fall through the cracks anyway.

As both a Support Coordinator and an NDIS participant myself, I see this from both sides.

I see participants being treated as costs instead of people.
I see professionals forced to justify basic human needs.
I see a disability community that is exhausted, frightened, and increasingly unheard.

And I think many of us are carrying a level of grief that isn't being talked about enough.
Not grief because we care too much. Grief because we care deeply and are constantly witnessing preventable harm.

If you've been feeling angry, helpless, heartbroken, disillusioned, or questioning whether you're making a difference, you might not be burnt out.

You might be experiencing moral injury.

And if that's you, you're certainly not alone.

So keeping this from y'all has been really hard but IT WAS RELEASED TODAY AND I CAN FINALLY TELL YOUUUUU!
In March, I responded to a call out looking for late diagnosed AFAB neurodivergent humans to share their experiences. This lead to a follow up chat with one of the producers, where she soft-launched the new podcast the ABC Australia team were working on and explained the purpose of the chat, and invited me to be on the pod with none other than Grace Tame 😭🎉

It was so much fun, and it was like we'd known each other for yonks.
If you'd like to have a listen, I'll pop the links in my bio and below 👂🎧🧡

Text reads: “I did another podcast...” and “I am so excited to now be able to share this! Link in caption & bio.” A screenshot of the ABC podcast Ladies, We Need To Talk episode titled “The health gap no one talks about” is shown, featuring an interview with autistic advocate Grace Tame. An arrow points from the podcast image to the photo of the two people standing together.

Image 2:
Text reads: “Obviously I had to get Grace to sign her book.” Beside the photo is a quote attributed to Grace Tame: “Dear Ange / Rupert, My neuro-Queen! You’re a fu***ng legend and it was a pleasure to yarn with you. I await an invite to join you for GF cheesecake. Until then, stay cool. Big love, Grace xo.” Below is a photo of the handwritten message and signature inside the book. Additional text humorously notes that security could only find an access code for “Rupert,” which was amusing for several reasons. The McArthur Services logo appears in the bottom corner.

In the current NDIS climate, we need a laugh.
I see my GP tomorrow, I just know she's excited 🎉

At the centre is a still from a TV show featuring two people sitting on a couch, with the caption: “When I show you my collection, you’re gonna s**t your pants.” The post jokes about the overwhelming length and complexity of chronic illness and diagnostic histories.

An “A C McArthur Services” logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Just something that's been annoying me for a while now... not sure if I articulated myself the way I'd intended but I'm just really mad about a lot of things right now... 🙃 ACCESSIBILITY DOES NOT EQUAL CONVENIENCE ❌

Sign and share!

Labor is trying to use disabled people as a scapegoat to balance the upcoming Budget, setting up a ‘razor gang’ to slash vital NDIS funding. While they ignore billion-dollar blowouts for AUKUS submarines, give tax handouts to property investors, and refuse to properly tax gas corporations, Labor...

See you there!! 🧡

I keep getting asked if I'd run another PMDD workshop and so I finally listened because my PMDD has been PMDD'ing 🔥

The good part of that is that I've now had more personal experiences of treatment options over the past two months to add to the lived experience side of things, I suppose 😅

This workshop will be live online and also recorded and sent out for people want can't attend live or prefer to watch it at 2x speed, or whatever your preference is.

This is an interesting format I suppose because it's targeted at both clinicians and people who are PMDD curious/experiencers. I think I'm pretty good at speaking to both audiences at once and I really like to just treat people like the experts in their own lives anyway so it fits my vibe.

Thursday 16th April at 5.30 AEST. Or recorded and you can listen/watch whenever you get around to it.
