Sky's the Limit Disability Services

Sky's the Limit is a client-focused organisation that supports people living with a disability.

Sky’s the Limit Disability Services has been established in response to local community demand for quality disability support services. It is focused on managing unique, individually tailored supports to improve the health and wellbeing of South Australians living with a disability. Tim, our General Manager, has around 30 years’ experience in, and extensive knowledge of, the disability and community sectors, working across various disability sporting and recreation groups. He has also worked extensively in the employment of people living with a disability and is focused on the issues which most affect daily life. Working in the disability sector has enabled Tim to develop a deep understanding of the NDIS. This includes helping people to describe their goals, understand the supports available to them, and learn how to develop an NDIS plan that meets their needs. Tim's life experience means he has particular expertise in assistive technology, mobility, life skills, blind and low vision sport and recreation, and coming to terms with vision loss. Tim understands the key issues in the Australian disability sector that, when addressed, can remove barriers to people living with a disability achieving their goals. We offer the following services:
• Support with cleaning, gardening, and home maintenance
• Assistance with managing and attending appointments and going shopping
• Help with personal organisation and administration
• Support with community participation such as going for a walk, attending events or meeting new people
• Assistance with sport and recreation activities
• Help with organising holidays and travel
• Assistance with plan reviews and documentation

Our Vision:
A world in which all people living with a disability are leading healthy, active and connected lives. Our Mission:
To work in partnership with individuals living with a disability and support them to lead a healthy and active life and achieve their personal health, wellbeing and community engagement goals. Our Values guide who we are and what we stand for in every interaction. They are:
• Client-focused and committed to providing choice and control
• Determined in our advocacy
• Honest in our conduct and communication
• Accountable for our work
• Respectful in all our relationships
• Passionate about our vision
• Proud of our community’s diversity

Earlier this week, many of Sky’s the Limit Disability Services’ clients, friends and team members (along with friends from Blind Sports SA) came together for lunch at the Maid of Auckland Hotel (Tim’s shout!).

It was a scorching day (43 degrees! ☀️☀️☀️), but that didn’t stop people from coming out to share a meal, some laughs and good company. People from different walks of life, brought together by their connection to STLDS and a shared sense of community.

It was especially lovely to see people who may have heard of each other, but never met, coming together for the first time; chatting, laughing and forming new connections.

A big thank you to everyone who braved the heat and made it such a relaxed, joyful afternoon. Days like this are a great reminder of what community is all about. 💙

Are you a braille user?
Aasha Rose (PhD candidate at the University of Southern Queensland) is researching the link between life satisfaction and braille literacy. She wants to understand how braille literacy influences key aspects of life, such as independence, social engagement, and personal well-being, for people who learned braille.

Please consider completing the survey and contributing to knowledge about Braille. Your insights will help us better understand the real-world impact of braille on daily living, identify areas where support can be improved, and contribute to developing strategies that promote accessibility and inclusion for people with vision loss.

🚗 Changes to Disability Parking Permits (DPPs) 🚗
For the first time in 25 years, SA has updated the rules for DPPs to make them more inclusive.
You may now be eligible for a DPP if you:
• are legally blind (including when travelling as a passenger - no driver’s licence required)
• have a significant intellectual, cognitive, behavioural or neurological condition and need the continuous support of another person to move safely
• have parking needs similar to people with physical disabilities, even if public transport use isn’t the main issue.
The changes also:
• keep existing physical mobility eligibility in place
• remove the requirement that a person must be unable to use public transport
• update the language from “disabled person” to “person with disability”
• do not affect current permit holders.
These updates recognise that many people (including those with vision impairment, neurological or cognitive conditions) have the same access needs when parking.
Sky’s The Limit Disability Services can support you with:
• understanding eligibility
• completing the application
• gathering the right information.
Message us or get in touch directly and we’ll help you take the next step.

🌟 At Sky’s The Limit, support looks like friendship 🌟

One of the things we’re most proud of is how naturally friendships grow between our clients and support workers.
In this photo, you can see two of our clients enjoying a meal out with their support workers, but you’d never guess who is who. And that’s exactly how we like it. 💙

At Sky’s The Limit, we don’t use uniforms or ID tags that make people stand out or feel “other.”
We believe support should feel comfortable, respectful and human; like spending time with someone who genuinely cares about you.

We help foster friendships by:
• matching clients with support workers who share interests
• creating relaxed, everyday experiences where everyone feels equal
• encouraging connection, laughter and confidence
• focusing on belonging, not labels.

What grows from that is something truly special: real friendships, real community and real joy.

Because support shouldn’t just meet needs; it should help people feel seen, valued and connected.

💙 Sky’s The Limit Disability Services

Changes to NDIS Planning

The NDIS is changing the way plans are made. The new system will start for some people from mid-2026 and will be rolled out slowly.

The new rules will:
• focus on the support you need
• use a person-centred, strengths-based approach
• make budgets fairer and more consistent
• mean fewer expensive reports
• create simpler and more flexible plans

You will meet with a trained assessor to do a “support needs assessment” and who will talk with you about:
• your daily life
• what you can do
• what support you need because of your disability

You can bring family, a carer or a support person to the meeting.

The assessor will write a report.

NDIS staff will use this report to build your new plan and budget.

The NDIS will use a tool called I-CAN v6 to understand people’s support needs.

Some people with more complex needs may be asked for extra reports from their health professionals.

Your plan’s budget may include:
• Stated supports – money that must be used for a specific support
• Flexible budget – money you can use more freely on NDIS supports

Plans will also last longer, so you won’t need as many reviews.

The NDIS is still working on the final rules, but the aim is to make planning clearer, fairer and easier.

If you need help understanding the changes, Sky’s The Limit Disability Services is here to support you 💙

Welcome to NDIS Chat with Sky’s The Limit Disability Services!

We’re a small, person-centred NDIS provider focused on helping you get the most out of your plan and understand what you can (and can’t) claim.

This week’s topic: “Why is my plan manager rejecting invoices?”

The NDIS asks three questions:
1. Is it an everyday item anyone might buy? (eg rent, groceries, gym memberships - usually no)
2. Is it connected to your disability support needs?
3. Is it linked to your goals?

Some items are clear, others are not.
For example, pre-prepared meals can sometimes be funded, but only the preparation, not the ingredients, and only if cooking is unsafe or difficult due to your disability.

Tips for getting supports approved:
• Make sure your goals are specific and measurable
• Work with an OT before each plan review
• Ensure your supports clearly link back to your needs and goals
• Choose support workers with skills that match what you’re trying to achieve (eg someone who can play tennis with you; coaching isn’t funded)

We can help you with:
• Goal setting
• OT reports
• Understanding “reasonable & necessary”
• Getting the most out of your NDIS plan

Send us a message anytime if you’d like help with your goals or plan review.

Happy International Day of People with Disability!

Today, we join people around the world in celebrating the International Day of People with Disability.

This year’s theme, fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress, reminds us that true progress happens when everyone can participate fully and equally.

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, we believe inclusion isn’t just about access; it’s about belonging, opportunity and respect. Every day, we work alongside people to achieve their goals, strengthen independence and build connections in their communities.

Together, we can create a world that celebrates diversity and ensures every person’s voice and contribution is valued.

NDIS Update: Understanding Respite (Short-Term Accommodation)

The NDIS has recently updated its Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits for 2025–26 — including changes to how respite, also called Short-Term Accommodation (STA), is priced.

Respite or STA isn’t automatically included in every NDIS plan. To access it, you need either:
- Specific funding for Short-Term Accommodation (STA) in your plan, or
- Flexible Core Supports funding that can be used for respite if it meets your goals and NDIS guidelines.

Respite has many benefits. Taking a short break can help you recharge, try new activities, meet new people and build independence — while giving your family or carers time to rest and reset.

Need help checking your plan?
If you’d like to understand whether you have STA or flexible Core Supports funding available, our team can walk you through it and help you plan your next break with confidence.

We’re here to help you make the most of your NDIS plan — and support you to live life your way.
