There has been a welcome update to the eligibility of those who can access the Disability Parking Scheme in South Australia to include better and more equitable access to people living with disability.
www.facebook.com/share/p/17WyeH9scB/From today, the disability parking permit scheme in South Australia has expanded to include a broader range of disabilities and conditions.
This is intended to modernise the scheme and better meet the needs of people with disabilities including those who are legally blind and those with a significant cognitive, behavioural or neurological impairment such as autism.

Today we recognise World Mental Health Day 💚 — a chance to pause, reflect, and to remind ourselves that your wellbeing should be essential in everything you do.
Let’s continue to be present, create spaces where people feel safe to speak up, seek support, and take care of their mental health.
Together, we can make a difference. 💚 Not just today, but every day.
For ourselves as clinicians, we chose to flourish in a career that gives us a sense of purpose, that feeling of making a meaningful difference; to give another person back their purpose, their independence and their life ❤️ However, often we are lead unknowingly into ‘compassion fatigue.
NEVER underestimate the difference you make 🌻
But…. Remember to fill up your own cup first.

Wheelchair scripting - Insight into the process of creating a supporting and comfortable seating solution!
It is important when reaching out for support to script or modify a wheelchair, that there is a suitably qualified individual who is able to assess your postural and functional needs and identify how wheelchair accessories and their placement can offset the risk of their current seating circumstances.
➡At the initial assessment, the Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist will listen to your goals, your history and any challenges that you may have with current seating.
➡They will then liaise with you about having a MAT assessment done (a postural assessment of your body in a seated position)
➡ Wheelchairs and their accessories can then be scripted and trialled for their effectiveness in maximising function and maintaining comfort.
Often when a wheelchair is scripted or revised, an Assistive Technology report needs to be completed, in order for the NDIA to assess the need as 'reasonable and necessary', so that finds can be made available in your Capital Supports budget to fund the purchase.
