To be honest, I do not think there will ever be the right words for something like this. All I can do is offer my deepest sympathy to the family involved near and far, and to anyone else who is living through similar situations or who is deeply triggered by what is unfolding before us.

The tragedy we are currently seeing across the news is exactly that, a tragedy. No matter how much investigation takes place, no matter what details are shared, we will never truly know why this happened. Anything beyond that becomes speculation, and that in itself is heartbreaking.

From my personal perspective, this outcome was never needed. But it may have felt like the only option available at the time. Families supporting loved ones with disability often carry enormous and relentless pressure. Every single one of them. We need more resources, more compassion, more understanding, and more acceptance. We simply need more support.

It does not matter where someone lives or how much they earn. Support should never depend on those factors. Families can only do so much. Burnout is real, especially when care is carried within the family home with little or no external help. Professional supports matter. Having trained people whose role and career is to support others matters.

My heart is with the family who have lost their lives, and with every individual and family facing similar struggles, particularly within the NDIS community.

If you are struggling, please reach out. You do not need to carry this silently or alone. Help is available.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: FEDERAL COURT CONFIRMS NDIS ACCESS RIGHTS
This is a significant decision that protects current and future NDIS participants.

On Wednesday 14 January 2026, the Federal Court of Australia handed down a landmark ruling that confirmed who can access the NDIS and how eligibility decisions must be made.

What was decided:
The Court rejected the NDIA’s attempt to limit access by arguing that people with disability must first prove other systems cannot support them.

The Court made it clear that this is not how the NDIS works.

What the Court confirmed:
• You do not have to prove other systems have failed first
• The NDIS is not a last resort system
• Eligibility is based on legislation, not administrative convenience

The Court confirmed that the correct legal test was applied when access was granted to a participant with significant spinal and neurological conditions. Importantly, the Court stated that access does not require checking whether other service systems could provide support first.

Why this matters:

This decision:
• Prevents unlawful gatekeeping of NDIS access
• Protects people with complex or fluctuating disabilities
• Reduces barriers for people applying to the NDIS
• Strengthens current internal reviews and appeals
As stated by legal advocates, the NDIS should never operate as a last resort system.

What this means for participants
If you have ever been:
• Refused access
• Told to rely on health, aged care, family or charity supports instead
• Blocked because other services exist

That reasoning has now been clearly rejected by the Court.
This ruling strengthens review and appeal processes already underway.

Know your rights

If you disagree with an NDIA decision:
Stage 1: Internal Review
Timeframe: within 3 months
Provide reasons and supporting evidence

Stage 2: External Review (ART)
Timeframe: within 28 days
Advocates and Legal Aid can assist at this stage

Key message
The Federal Court has confirmed that the NDIS exists to support people with disability, not to shift responsibility onto other systems.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, access to the NDIS is your legal right.

As we step into another year, I'd want to take a moment to reflect on the one just gone and say a huge thank you to everyone who has been part of the AJM Support Work journey.

The past year was filled with growth, learning, connection and countless moments that reminded us why we do what we do. From supporting participants to achieve their goals, building strong and trusting relationships, welcoming new team members, and continuing to grow within our local community, it has been a year we are incredibly proud of.

To our current participants and families, thank you for trusting us to be part of your lives. Your journeys, progress and wins big and small are what drive us every day. We remain fully committed to providing reliable, respectful and person centred supports and being there for you as your needs evolve throughout the year ahead.

As always, AJM Support Work is also here for those who may be looking to add additional supports to their team or for anyone considering a change because their current supports are no longer the right fit. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable, heard and genuinely supported, and we believe everyone deserves a support team that aligns with their goals, values and lifestyle.

Whether you are continuing with us, looking to make a change, or simply exploring your options, we are always happy to have a chat and see how we can help.

Here is to a fresh year full of opportunity, growth and continued support. We look forward to what is ahead and to walking alongside our community every step of the way.

While reading the South Western Times today, you may notice my face featured in an article. I was honoured to be asked and included in the segment for International Day of People with Disability. It showcases Collie and our surrounding area with supports on offer in a respectful manner. I'm proud to admit that I, along with my small team, are making a positive impact within our community.

International Day of People with Disability

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and incredible contributions of people with disability within our community.

At AJM Support Work, we’re honoured to walk alongside our NDIS clients every day, supporting independence, confidence, and a life built around choice and dignity.
This day isn’t just about awareness, it’s about recognition, inclusion, and celebrating the unique value every person brings to the world.

As someone living with a disability myself, today is a powerful reminder of why I am so passionate about the work we do. Everyone deserves to feel supported, respected, and empowered in their journey.

To our clients, families, carers, and support workers, thank you for being part of the AJM Support Work community. Your courage, trust, and dedication inspire everything we do.

Let’s continue building a future where accessibility, understanding, and genuine inclusion are the everyday norm, not just today but always.

Keeping you informed, supported, and confident

There’s been a lot of change across the NDIS this year, from funding rules to upcoming planning frameworks. It can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

At AJM Support Work, we make it a priority to stay up to date with the latest information and share it in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Whether you’re new to the NDIS or have been part of it for years, our goal is to help you make sense of it all and focus on what matters, living your life, your way.

If you ever have a question about your plan or supports, message our page or give us a call. We’re always happy to help

NDIS reform delays and funding pressure

The NDIS remains one of Australia’s most important social programs, but ongoing reform delays are putting pressure on the system’s budget. Reports suggest that without faster reform, the NDIS could face major financial strain in coming years.

For participants, that means it’s vital to stay engaged and informed. The more we understand the changes, the better we can advocate for quality supports that truly meet people’s needs.

At AJM Support Work, we’ll continue to keep you updated and ready for any upcoming adjustments, so you can plan ahead with confidence.

Small local providers play a big role

As the NDIS continues to evolve, small community-based providers like AJM Support Work are more important than ever. We understand our community, our clients, and the unique needs of people living in regional WA.

We may be a small business, but we aim to improve each and every client’s life the best we can, through genuine care, flexibility, and a focus on independence.

If you’re looking for disability support in the Collie area from a provider who truly listens, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s happening behind the scenes in the disability sector

The NDIS 2025 Annual Price Review has left some providers facing challenges, with price freezes and funding cuts impacting sustainability for smaller services.

At AJM Support Work, we remain committed to keeping our services accessible and affordable, without compromising on the quality of care.

We believe every client deserves reliable, person-centred support, and we’ll continue to adapt so we can provide the best service possible, no matter what changes come our way.

Planning for the future: a new NDIS system is coming

The NDIS has announced that a brand-new planning framework will begin rolling out from mid-2026. This new system is designed to make the planning process simpler and more consistent, with clearer funding categories and stronger links to participant goals.

The goal is to make it easier to understand how your supports are funded and how budgets are set.

At AJM Support Work, we’ll continue to provide flexible, person-centred disability support, adapting as the NDIS evolves. You can count on us to stay informed and help you make sense of the changes, so you can keep focusing on what matters most: your goals and your wellbeing.

NDIS funding will now be released in smaller timeframes

From May 2025 onwards, many new and reassessed NDIS plans will move from annual lump-sum budgets to shorter funding periods, often every 3 months.

This doesn’t reduce your total funding; it simply changes when funds are released. The aim is to make it easier for participants to manage their supports over time and reduce the risk of funding running out too soon.

At AJM Support Work, we’re here to help participants track their budgets and use their funding effectively, making sure you get consistent, reliable support all year round.
