💙 Acknowledging Compassion Fatigue in Our Industry 💙

In this line of work — whether you’re an allied health professional, support coordinator, support worker, or provider — we often find ourselves working around the clock. We spend our days gathering evidence, writing reports, advocating for people’s needs, and walking alongside individuals and families who are facing real struggles.

It’s meaningful and important work, but it can also take a toll. Many of us experience what’s known as compassion fatigue — the emotional and physical exhaustion that comes from giving so much of ourselves to support others.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible effort and heart that goes into this industry. To everyone holding space for others while balancing endless paperwork, phone calls, and funding challenges: your work matters, and you matter.💙

🧠💔 Carer Burnout Is Real 💔🧠

To all the carers out there—whether you're looking after a parent, partner, child, friend, or client—I see you. Your strength, patience, and compassion are incredible. But let’s be honest: it can be exhausting.

Carer burnout isn’t just being tired. It’s feeling emotionally drained, physically worn out, and sometimes, painfully alone. It's putting others first so often that you forget how to take care of yourself.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, please know this:
👉 You’re not failing.
👉 You’re not alone.
👉 You deserve rest and support too.

It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to take a break. And it's more than okay to put your own well-being on the list.

💙Celebrating a Huge Win at HFMS!💙

At HFMS, we believe every person deserves the right support to thrive — and today, we are overjoyed to share an incredible victory worth celebrating! 🎉

Recently, Oliver was at risk of being removed from the NDIS due to gaps in evidence about his support needs. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, his support network, and his amazing family, we worked around the clock to gather the right evidence and showcase Oliver’s true needs.

This was more than just an individual review — it was about understanding the whole family dynamic, recognising the important role of carers, and making sure no child slips through the cracks. 💙

Because of this advocacy and collaboration, Oliver’s NDIS access has been successfully reinstated ✅ — meaning he will continue to receive the support he deserves to grow, learn, and live his best life.

This win is a testament to the power of persistence, teamwork, and the belief that with the right support, families can flourish. We couldn’t be prouder of Oliver and his family, and we are so grateful to be part of this journey with them.

Here’s to more wins, more advocacy, and more moments of celebrating the resilience of the families we support! 🌟

💻 Passion, Creativity, and Comedy – Meet Billy! 💻

As a Support Coordinator, one of the most rewarding parts of our role is seeing participants thrive with the right supports in place. Billy is a perfect example of this – I absolutely love watching his videos and seeing him shine through his very own comedy show, The Billie Show! 🎤😂

Billy has so many strengths and passions – he’s naturally curious, creative, and has an incredible sense of humour that lights up every room. With his love for the internet, AI, comedy, and cartoons, Billy is constantly learning and finding new ways to express himself.

It’s amazing to see how his NDIS supports have created a safe and empowering space for him to thrive, explore his interests, and live his best life. Keep chasing your dreams, Billy – we’re all cheering you on! 👏💻🎬

So proud of Lynette for getting out in the community and showing off her skills! 🙌 With the support of her OT and the assistive technology provided, she’s been practicing her meal preparation – cutting, preparing, and building her independence step by step. 🥗🍎🍞

It’s such a joy to see her confidence grow and her skills shine through. Amazing work, Lynette – keep it up! 💛

🌟 Celebrating Dakoda’s Progress! 🌟
I’m so proud to share that Dakoda has been able to reconnect with his Support Coordinator at Holt For Moore Support and start making the most of his plan after not using it for a while. With the right supports in place, he’s made some incredible progress:
💪 Joined social gym groups with his support team
🧠 With appropriate supports, he has achieved greater consistency in his mental health
🎉 Reached a huge milestone – entering the workforce!
None of this would have been possible without the dedication of his providers and support workers, who have really taken the time to understand Dakoda, create a safe space, and help him shine.
This is such an amazing reminder of what can be achieved when the right supports come together. So proud of you, Dakoda! 🙌✨

👣 The Man Walk – More Than Just a Walk 👣

I’m resharing this great initiative and thought it was worth passing on some info. The Man Walk is all about connecting men, strengthening communities, and combating social isolation through something simple – walking and talking together.

📍 Groups currently run in:

Redcliffe

Beachmere

Caboolture

Newport

Narangba

It’s a safe, welcoming space where men can come along, get some exercise, have a chat, and support each other in a healthy and regular way. 💬🚶‍♂️

👉 No pressure, no judgement – just men supporting men.

"How you going?"

"Yeah, good mate."

End of conversation, but meanwhile, things are feeling like a lot lately.

Let's chat about the masks we wear, like the "I'm fine" face we put on.

Loneliness isn't dramatic, but it IS quiet.

You might be lonely, but know that you’re not alone.

Sometimes we just need to be around people who get it, without having to explain ourselves.

🚨 Important NDIS Update – Participant Signatures 🚨

I’ve just received confirmation that NDIS will no longer accept any type of typed signature on documents.

✅ From now on, documents must have the participant’s actual handwritten signature.
✅ If a participant is unable to physically sign due to disability, documents can still be submitted – however, NDIS will call the participant directly to confirm verbal consent before accepting the document.
