A Big congratulations to Bianca Childs on her promotion to Support Coordinator at AOK Care! 🎉💜

Many of you will know Bianca as our fabulous Office Manager, the calm in the chaos who keeps everything running smoothly and looks after our participants, families and team with kindness and compassion.

Bianca is now stepping into a Support Coordination role, where she will be working more directly with participants and their families to help them navigate the NDIS. 🌟We know she’ll be absolutely amazing in this role – she’s already well-versed in support coordination and has been doing much of this work behind the scenes for some time.

Thank you for everything you have done so far Bianca, and congratulations on this well deserved next step. I am so proud of you!

Why is 20-year-old Blake D’Ombrain still stuck in hospital months after being medically cleared to go home?

Blake became a quadriplegic after a tragic diving accident — but despite being cleared for discharge in July, he’s still in a hospital bed because the NDIS hasn’t delivered the supports he needs to live safely at home.

Here’s what went wrong:

A spinal-injury bed arrived without a mattress

Essential home modifications are still unfinished

Inflated NDIS quotes (family estimate: $60k → NDIS quote: $164k)

Support workers are only now being trained

Wrong recommendations wasted months

Blake is now one of 1166 NSW patients medically ready to leave hospital but stuck there because of NDIS delays — taking up beds meant for emergencies.

This failure hurts everyone:

Families are left in limbo

Hospitals stay clogged

Taxpayers pay $1100 per day for people who should be home

And young Australians like Blake are living in hospital wards instead of rebuilding their lives

The NDIS is meant to help people leave hospital — not trap them in it through mismanagement, paperwork, and endless waiting.

Blake should be home for Christmas.

Instead, his mum is acting as a full-time project manager, fighting a broken system.

Have you experienced NDIS delays, wrong equipment, or endless back-and-forth just to get basic support?

Did you know that the Government is wanting to remove Support Coordination and eventually replace with Navigators but there is still no real information about them and how this will work. Support Coordination is a lifeline to so many participants, families and even providers. We have until tonight to get 10 000 signatures on this petition. Please help save a vital support to many.
