What is intensive therapy?

Paediatric intensive therapy is a short, focused burst of support designed to help children build skills faster 💪

Instead of weekly sessions, children attend therapy more frequently over a few weeks—using repetition, play, and goal-based activities to improve movement, strength, and independence.

It’s especially powerful in early childhood, when the brain is most adaptable, helping kids make meaningful progress in a shorter time. ✨

If you’d like to learn more about securing intensive therapy funding for your child in their next NDIS plan review, contact us—we’re happy to chat and guide you through the process.

Here are some pictures of Macy working hard in her Physiotherapy intensive which started today. My little Paddington Bear Spider-Man superstar! 🌟

Not all carers are adults.

Across our communities, thousands of young people are quietly stepping into caring roles every single day — supporting a sibling with disability, helping a mum who’s unwell or looking after a grandparent. Many don’t even realise they’re “young carers”… they’re just doing what feels natural: helping the people they love.

But being a young carer can be overwhelming. It can affect school, friendships, and mental health — and sometimes, these young people go unnoticed and unsupported.

Good news though, support is out there. From counselling and peer groups to financial assistance and respite programs, there are services designed specifically to help young carers feel seen, supported, and less alone.

If you’re a young person helping care for someone — or you know someone who is — it’s okay to reach out. Today we’re sharing information about the young carer support available through Wellways.

There are other fantastic young care supports in our community and we will share those with you as well over the coming weeks.

A young carer is anyone aged under 25 years who provides care and support to loved ones with a disability, mental health condition, chronic health condition, terminal illness, or who are frail aged.

📣📣 Have you heard about Queensland Health’s Julian’s Key Health Passport?

Our team recently became aware of it whilst attending the Brisbane Disability Connection expo.
It is a communication tool designed with patients and carers to improve care for people with disability while in a hospital or community health setting.

It supports safer, more personalised care by outlining needs, preferences, and key medical details in one place.

You can order a free printed copy, access it online, or download versions in multiple languages here: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/newsroom/news/julians-key-empowering-communication-in-queensland-hospitals

Are you registered with The Carers Foundation?

The Carers Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting unpaid carers who look after family members or loved ones with disability, illness, or age-related needs.

Through practical resources, advocacy, and Carer Wellbeing Programs, the foundation helps carers prioritise their own health and wellbeing while continuing the vital care they provide.

By raising awareness and delivering targeted support, The Carers Foundation works to ensure carers feel valued, supported, and never alone in their caring journey. 💙

Avoiding health crisis and burnout comes down to a number of things. At our Carer Wellbeing Programs we focus on:

🌿 Relaxation techniques
💕 Resilience building
🫂 Connections.

We're incredibly grateful to those who share their knowledge and skills with our carers, such as the fabulous Joan Wilson-Jones. Joan generously shares techniques she has mastered over the years to help our carers build their resilience and return to their caring roles with increased hope and confidence.

Thank you to all of our wonderful practitioners!

NDIS Check-Ins: What to Know (No Need to Panic!) 📞

An NDIS check-in is meant to be a short phone or face-to-face chat with your myNDIS contact (LAC, Early Childhood Partner, or NDIA planner) to see how your plan is going and answer any questions. It shouldn’t automatically change your plan.

⚠️ However, some participants report “check-in” calls turning into unexpected Plan Reassessments.

Important tips:
🔹 Confirm at the start that the call is a check-in
🔹 You can reschedule if you’re not prepared
🔹 Ask to have a support person present — this makes it easy to arrange another time

Why do the check-in calls happen?
✔️ To make sure your plan is on track
✔️ To fix issues early
✔️ Before reassessment dates
✔️ Around major life changes (school, moving, work)
✔️ If your plan is complex or new
✔️ After enquiries, safety concerns, or severe weather events

You don’t have to continue a call you weren’t ready for!

To the parents embarking on the "Big School" transition... 🎒✨

Some of the lovely mums in our MIM Supports team have their little ones starting their very first year of school this coming week 💛

What a rollercoaster of emotions it has been — and continues to be.

We were recently talking as a team about how, as parents of children with disability, we’ve already had to learn how to advocate in so many spaces: hospital settings, therapy rooms, early learning environments. Over time, we’ve found our voice. We’ve learnt the systems. We’ve mastered it.

But now? The thought of learning to advocate in a school setting seems overwhelming. It’s uncharted waters.

No matter the amount of prep (9+ months for one of our Mums!) with the school and allied health teams, it still doesn’t feel like enough. How do you let go and trust a new space? How do we do it year after year with new teachers and leadership?

We try not to spiral too far ahead and instead stay grounded in the here and now… but golly, it’s hard.

If you are facing the transition to school this week, remember:
🫶You are not alone. These feelings are valid.

🌻 Be kind to yourself. The mental load is heavy.

😮‍💨 Exhale. Reach out to a friend for that much-needed coffee.

👏 Be proud. Look at the wonderful little human embarking on this next stage.

They are going to absolutely knock it out of the park—because they’ve had you by their side every single day, encouraging and advocating for them whenever and wherever it was needed.
You’ve got this! 💛

Meet Isabella - Support Coordinator at MIM Supports

Originally from Brazil, I’ve called Australia home since 2006. I’m happily married and a proud mum to two amazing boys, aged 10 and 4. My eldest son, Tyler, has been an NDIS participant since the age of four. Supporting him through his journey with ASD Level 2 and ADHD—without extended family nearby—has taught me resilience, patience, and determination. These experiences have shaped who I am today and fuel my passion for helping other families navigate the NDIS with confidence.

I bring lived experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of the challenges families face to my role at MIM Supports. My goal is to ensure participants receive the support they need and deserve, while empowering them to achieve their goals.

Outside of work, I love the outdoors—hiking, camping, paddle boarding, and spending time at the beach, my happy place. Family time is everything to me, but I also make time for my favourite hobby: pickleball.

Before joining MIM Supports, I worked for four years as a disability support worker, providing one-on-one care to adults living with spinal injuries. That experience inspired me to transition into Support Coordination, where I could use my advocacy skills and person-centred approach to make a broader impact.

I look forward to working with you and helping you find balance, confidence, and the right support for yourself and your loved ones.

✨ New Year, Smarter Support ✨

The team at MIM Supports is officially back online and ready for 2026! 🚀

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably just sat down to map out the year ahead for the person you care for. Between allied health therapy, intensive therapy support, disability services, group programs, and medical appointments — it can feel like a lot.

You might be asking yourself, “How can we work smarter, not harder this year?” 💡

Maybe this is the year to reach out for a no-obligation chat. At MIM Supports, our role goes beyond managing services. We support participants to direct their own lives by building strong, resilient networks of formal and informal support that truly works for them, their families, and their NDIS goals.

Let’s make 2026 the year of balance, clarity, and empowered support. 🤝
