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

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.

🌿 Weekend Adventures at Morialta! 🌞

Mary and her friend Lauren Anne joined STLDS’ very own Lauren Ann for a beautiful day out at Morialta Conservation Park over the weekend. The trio walked to First Falls, which was flowing beautifully after the recent rains. Along the way, they even spotted a koala 🐨 happily munching on gum leaves!

After working up an appetite, they enjoyed a relaxing picnic lunch surrounded by nature. The afternoon continued with a visit to Newman’s Nursery, where they admired the gorgeous plants, especially a stunning pink rhododendron 🌸in full bloom.

It was the perfect spring day; great company, beautiful weather and plenty of smiles all around.

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.

What does “reasonable and necessary” mean in the NDIS?

When the NDIS funds supports, they must be reasonable and necessary — that means they:
✅ Relate to your disability
✅ Are useful and cost-effective
✅ Help you work toward your goals

Understanding this helps you make the most of your plan and know what kinds of supports the NDIS can fund.

If you’re ever unsure about what’s considered “reasonable and necessary,” our team can help explain it and guide you through your options.

A visit to the theatre!

Our client Carmel had a fantastic time seeing Cats The Musical. It was a big day out — the theatre was packed and bustling with people — but Carmel’s support worker was right by her side, helping her navigate the crowds so she could relax and enjoy the show. 🐱🎶

Carmel loves getting out and doing things, and this was such a special experience. We love seeing our clients enjoying life in the community!

👩‍🦯 Happy White Cane Day! 👨‍🦯

Every year on October 15, we celebrate White Cane Day – a day that highlights the vital role of the white cane in supporting safe travel and independence for people who are blind or vision impaired.

The white cane is more than a tool – it’s a key to moving confidently, finding your way and taking control in everyday life.

At Sky’s the Limit Disability Services, we’re proud to support participants who use white canes, guide dogs and other mobility tools. We recognise their skills, determination and the importance of accessible communities.

Next time you see someone using a white cane:
✅ Stop, look and give them space to pass safely
✅ Offer assistance only if needed – but always ask first
✅ Remember that independent mobility is something to be respected and celebrated

Let’s spread awareness and make our spaces safer and more welcoming for everyone.

We loved exploring new assistive tech at last week's See Differently with the Royal Society for the Blind Tech Fest!
Among the screen readers, magnifiers and smart kitchen tools, one invention really caught our attention — Ashirase, a navigation aid worn in your shoes that helps people with low vision navigate directions when walking.
You can learn more about Ashirase here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE7p6ZYQ0c8&t=101s
Would you give them a try? What’s the best accessibility innovation you’ve seen lately?
