Monte Christo (MC) is a project by ECC for a transition to Community-oriented market gardening and regenerative farming on permaculture principles, beginning in 2022. The immediate project aims to develop opportunities for NDIS participants and community members to engage in inclusive gardening activities to grow vegetables for their own use at a low cost. Included therapeutic benefits of moderate exercise and healthy outdoors exposure in a social setting are proposed. A further aim is to develop larger permaculture farming with the long-term goal of providing quality, environmentally sustainable, healthy nutrition at reduced cost to people on low incomes.

Your brain is not fixed. It’s constantly adapting. 🧠✨
Your brain grows new neurons with more synapses and becomes more connected based on your life experiences. That means what you do repeatedly, what you focus on, and what you practice can literally reshape your brain over time.
In this blog, I break down five specific ways experience changes your brain, and why that’s both empowering and motivating. Here’s how it happens in your head.

Twenty-two-year-old Noah Johnston, one of the most significantly disabled NDIS participants, died while fighting to restore 24/7 registered nursing support. His ventilator tube detached overnight, and no nurse was present to reconnect it. The NDIA had reduced funding despite medical warnings his life depended on it. Noah died during tribunal proceedings reviewing the decision, prompting fierce criticism from his family. Summary of Herald Sun article.
ID: A woman wearing a hat and sunglasses sits close to a young man in a wheelchair. She has her arm around him and is smiling at him warmly. The young man is smiling back and is wearing a blue hoodie with visible medical tubing connected to a tracheostomy. They appear to be outdoors on grass, sharing a moment of affection and connection.
