It’s the end of the year, and a good time to pause, reflect, and say thanks.

The team at Total Support Services have achieved a lot of things during the year as individuals and as a whole organization, and we are proud of the positive impact we continue to make.

Since it was founded 15 years ago, Total Support Services has grown significantly, and we recently completed a huge milestone in acquiring another NDIS organisation in Tasmania.

2025 has been an incredible experience and year of growth for all of us, and we are looking forward to achieving even more in 2026.

From Sandy, Matt, and the team at Total Support Services: We hope you all have a fantastic New Year’s Eve!

We know our regular Tuesday group in Adelaide are looking forward to our Lifestyle & Recreation program returning, so here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect in January!

We’ve got something for everyone, and to cater for different schedules we’ll now be running activities every business day!

We have plenty of exciting activities for our gardening gurus, explorers, repairers, artists, and makers and minglers, and more! Whether you want to try a new activity or make new friends, there’s a lot to get excited about.

What are YOU looking forward to?

Merry Christmas to everyone!

We hope you all get to enjoy some time with friends and loved ones during this holiday period.

A special thank you to our amazing Support Workers who are working throughout the holidays.

Sincerely,

The end of the year means the end of our weekly Lifestyle and Recreation activities schedule for the year.

Don’t worry though, we’ll be back in action in January with a lot more planned for the new year!

Since June we’ve done a lot of cool stuff, and our group of weekly attendees has more than doubled already!

We’ve had trips to the Adelaide Botanic Garden, the beach, a chocolate factory, local cafés, and museums. We’ve crafted, cooked, scavenged, made friends and memories, and shared plenty of laughs too.

Our team has also taken feedback and suggestions from our regular attendees, and next year is going to be even more exciting. Because you all loved it so much we’ll make sure it’s happening MORE OFTEN too!

The group will return in January, 2026.

After a busy year it’s now time for some well-earned rest!

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing holiday period. The Total Support Services team will be taking a break to catch up with family, friends, and celebrate both the festive season and a successful year.

Our offices will be closed for two weeks from the 22nd of December, 2025, until we return on the 5th of January, 2026.

Our Service Delivery team will be available to call during this time for any emergencies.

🌊 This week we had a Terrific Tuesday at Largs Bay! 🏖️

What a fantastic day out! We all met at the Largs Bay Kiosk, enjoyed a good chat, and even caught up with some of the crew's family who popped over as they live close by 💛

Lunch was a hit: fish & chips, chicken burgers, and hot dogs all round 🍟🍔🌭 Sitting outside in the fresh sea air made it even better!

After lunch we wandered down the jetty… it was very windy 💨😄 A hat took off flying with the help of a strong gust, but thankfully a friendly passer-by rescued it 👒🙌

The sun warmed up and the beach was just beautiful — perfect for catching up and chatting about plans for next year ☀️✨

We shared ideas like:
🌿 Gardening group
💪 Exercises
🎨 More craft
🍳 Cooking activities
🎳 Bowling
🎬 Movies
🚗 Sight-seeing adventures
… and plenty of fun outings to come!

Our final session for the year is next week, back at the office for some Christmas fun 🎄😁 Don’t forget to bring your lunch!

Looking forward to more memories and adventures in 2026 💫

- Sammy

The NDIS planning process is changing to make things fairer and simpler for participants. It is expected to be more consistent and involves a trained assessor assessing a person’s disability support needs, rather than functional impairment. This new approach is called framework planning. It uses a person-centered and strength-based approach; which will help to create fairer budgets, reduce the need for expensive reports and result in simpler and more flexible plans for participants. This is expected to start from mid 2026.

Human Rights Day is celebrated every 10th of December around the world. It remembers the anniversary of one of the world's most well-known texts: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
This document states that that every human is entitled to rights regardless of status, identity or ability; and is one of the most translated documents in the world.

The theme for this year is ‘Our Everyday Essentials’, which shows how human rights shape our daily lives. Human rights are not just abstract ideas, they are the essentials we rely on every day.

During one of our recent weekly lifestyle & recreation sessions, we asked some of our clients for their thoughts with a few questions about life and Total Support Services.

Here are a few of the answers from the day!

We love hearing your long-term goals, hopes, and the things you find joy in. We also appreciate all your feedback, and hearing about what we’re doing well or what we can do better.

Thank you to all the clients and staff who turned out for a fantastic day of food, fun, and seasonal festivity!

Yes, Christmas visited our Adelaide office on Friday as we hosted our annual client SA Christmas party.

Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, assigned an Elf name, and keen for some Christmas cheer. We were almost at full capacity, with about 100 people coming together to help make the day extra special.

Highlights included the Christmas quiz, pin the nose on the reindeer, and a session of pass the parcel.

A big thank you to Sammy and Lee-Anne for organising everything, to Abi for hosting a quiz session that would have been strong competition for any TV game show, and to all the staff who helped with prepping, cleaning up, and helping everything run smoothly!

Yesterday, some of our amazing staff were invited by Datacord to join Foodbank in packing 468 Christmas hampers for people in need. On International Volunteers Day, it is an important time to recognize their generosity and hard work. Volunteering is an amazing way to support and give back to our community. Well done to everyone who gave their support. Thank you to Datacord for giving us this opportunity.
