I'm not an overly intuitive person but when I get strong body signals in a person's presence I pay attention, because it doesn't happen often so if I'm aware of it, it must really mean something.

One of the insidious things around mental illness is the degree of self stigma that keeps people isolated and disconnected.
Statistics show us that the number of people either living with a mental illness, or supporting someone who does, is enormous and in reality almost everyone is affected directly or indirectly.
But, while this ridiculous stigma persists, a key part of recovery (connection and compassion) will remain elusive. Makes me sad and mad.

Another way to have your say and hear what other people think.
THIS FRIDAY

Join Every Australian Counts’ upcoming community forum on the Government’s proposed new NDIS planning rules.

📅 Friday 27 February
⏰ 2–3:30pm AEDT
📍 Online via Zoom

The Government is consulting on changes that may affect how NDIS plans are created, how budgets are set, and how decisions are explained. This forum will provide a plain-English overview of what’s being proposed, what’s still unclear, and what people with disability and families are saying matters most.

We’ll cover:
• Support Needs Assessments
• Budget setting and transparency
• Choice, control and flexibility
• Reviews, appeals and real-life complexity

You don’t need to have read the consultation papers to attend.

This forum will also explain how to share your lived experience through the Every Australian Counts survey, which will inform our submission to government. The consultation closes 6 March 2026.

Further to my previous post about the consultation process, the NDIS has a co-design working group and you can stay across what they're doing by signing up to follow their work, and read over the meeting summaries (links to those are on the webpage).
