We recently held an internal Able2 training session on Nurturing Neurodiversity, and the turnout was incredible! A huge thank you to the amazing Charnee (one of our Behaviour Support Practitioners) for leading such an insightful session.

It was inspiring to see so many staff prioritise learning and growth. The feedback has been outstanding, and we’re already buzzing with new ways to better support our participants.

The best part? We’re preparing to offer this training to our wider community very soon!

A very helpful and readable analysis of the NDIS by the ABC - it is not an opinion piece, rather an informational overview that gives context to these important conversations.

With more changes surrounding the NDIS just announced, here's everything you need to know about the scheme.

22/04/2026

Today Mark Butler will make announcements regarding how the NDIS will change. As providers we wait to see how will have to pivot and adapt in order to meet these changes - and still provide the support our participants and communities deserve. The NDIS is a good thing. It is world leading and supports those in communities to live ordinary lives. But the narrative coming from government and through to the press is destructive and divisive. As PWDA CEO says, 'Trust is being eroded because of what our politics has done to the NDIS.'
Read "Cutting the NDIS cuts into ordinary lives" - link below.

The NDIS is essential social infrastructure. Something Australians believed in.

A system that ensures people with disability can live, work and participate in our communities.

Now, trust in the NDIS is being eroded.

Not because people don’t understand why it matters when it’s explained. Most do.

Trust is being eroded because of what our politics has done to the NDIS.

Lives depend on these supports to thrive and sometimes exist at all. And once those cuts are made, the consequences do not stay contained. They show up in hospitals, in crisis systems, in families, and in lives cut short.

And we cannot afford that.

Huge thanks to Disability Advocacy for clearing the air and debunking the recent rumors regarding NDIS providers in Lakemba. Accuracy matters—we must ensure we aren't fear-mongering or spreading misinformation that hurts the people the NDIS is meant to support. Let’s stick to the facts.

The media coverage of the NDIS over the past week alone has focused heavily on mismanagement and "burden." While it is important to address the flaws in any government system, I am concerned about what this one-sided narrative is doing to our community.

In our work supporting families in the Nepean, Lithgow and Blue Mountains, I see the real-world consequences of these headlines. This constant negativity is creating genuine fear for service providers wondering what to pivot to next, but much more seriously fear for the people who rely on the Scheme. The media fails to represent the vital, constructive and beneficial outcomes that happen every day.

We cannot understand the NDIS through headlines alone. You understand it at kitchen tables with participants and their families who are simply trying to lead an ordinary life.
