Creative Coordination and Plan Training

18/10/2026

Some budgets will be reduced over the following 12 months in two support categories:

👉🏼 Social, Economic and Community Participation

👉🏼 Improved Daily Living Skills.

The impacts will be different for every participant because every plan is based on individual goals, circumstances and support needs.

Participant safety and wellbeing are our priority, so a range of supports will not be affected.

Supports that won’t be affected include essential day-to-day supports like help with eating, drinking, dressing, toileting, laundry, cleaning, nurse care, and medication.

🐦 The Aussie Bird Count is back! - Register now!

From 19–25 October, Australians everywhere are invited to spend just 20 minutes counting the birds around them, whether that’s in your backyard, on your balcony, at school or in your local park. No experience needed, just a love for birds and a desire to connect with nature.

Last year, 64,000 people counted more than 5 million birds across Australia. This year, we want to make the Count even bigger, and we’d love you to join us! 🐦

All you need is 20 minutes, a little curiosity and the free Aussie Bird Count app, which guides you through the whole process.

Your sightings help contribute to important citizen science, while giving you a chance to slow down, connect with nature and discover the birds living right around you.

We can’t wait to see you there! Register today: https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/

The Aussie Bird Count 2026 is proudly supported by our friends at Bank Australia
