Magnus Health

At Magnus Health we know that change can feel messy and difficult, but it doesn’t mean we’re on the wrong path.

Medicare went through this too.

Big hopes. Rapid growth. Rising costs. Tough questions.

And now? It’s one of the most valued parts of Australian life.

The NDIS is on a similar journey.

Right now, we’re in the messy middle—where demand is growing, the system is being tested, and improvements are needed. That’s not failure it’s what reform looks like in real life.

Behind every statistic are real people, participants gaining independence, families getting support, and communities becoming more inclusive.

Let’s keep building, improving, and backing a system that supports Australians to live with dignity and choice.

Because the goal is to get this right….for the long term.

Meet The Carers Foundation Australia - 3 of 3 local Gold Coast charities we're proudly supporting at the 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Behind every person living with disability or illness, there's often an unsung hero holding everything together - a family carer. The Carers Foundation Australia exists for them, providing wellbeing programs that restore health, build mental resilience, and remind carers that someone is looking out for them too. From children as young as eight caring for a sick parent, to elderly carers still going strong in their 80s - this foundation makes sure no one carries that weight alone.

And on the night - someone in the room will walk away with $𝟐𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐡 in our live raffle. That someone could be you 🙌

Your ticket to the Magnus Ball helps make that possible. Grab yours today, or donate a ticket to someone with a disability and ensure they have a wonderful night out at the Magnus Ball with a plus one of their choice.

What do others think about the I-CAN?

While the I-CAN assessment tool (The Instrument for the Classification and Assessment of Support Needs) is a validated and tested assessment tool, we are concerned about its potential use in the context of the NDIS as a standalone tool.

This change by the NDIA undermines the ability for psychologists – and other professionals – to work with participants to ensure that NDIS supports are appropriate and best placed to contribute to building a person's capacity, and increasing their independence and participation in the community.

The NDIS assessment process needs to be fit for purpose and consistent with the principles of the Scheme, which is to promote participants’ choice and control.

Any assessment process that attempts to be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution often overlooks details which can be very important for individual NDIS participants.

We are continuing to call on the Government to engage actively, meaningfully and transparently with psychologists, the APS, and other allied health professionals in designing and implementing reforms to the NDIS.

The holidays look and feel different for everyone, and that’s something to celebrate. 💚
We focus on making our Christmas activities accessible and low-stress, so people can participate in the way that suits their needs and preferences.
Whether that means a quiet corner, shorter activities or sensory-friendly options, inclusion is always at the heart of what we do.

Looking at these photos, it’s clear that community is our greatest strength. 🌟
Participants, families and staff have worked together this year to build a supportive environment where everyone belongs and can be themselves.
We are so grateful for the trust, teamwork and positive energy that shine through in moments like this.
