๐ŸŒธ WOMENโ€™S YARNING CIRCLE โ€“ POT PAINTING DAY! ๐ŸŒธ

What an amazing session we had at this weekโ€™s Womenโ€™s Yarning Circle!
Thank you to all the ladies who joined us, the photos say it all.
So much colour, creativity, laughter and connection.

Everyone got involved in painting their terracotta pots, each one turning out beautiful. These will become Christmas gifts after we add soil and plants in next weeks session. ๐ŸŽจ

We also enjoyed puzzles, music, chats, and plenty of yummy snacks together.
It was such a warm, fun and uplifting morning โ€” we love seeing the joy and pride in everyoneโ€™s creations. ๐ŸŒท

Thank you again to all our wonderful women for making this space so special.
We canโ€™t wait for the next one! ๐ŸŒผ

Another Amazing Respite Stay!

Anastasia joined us again for a wonderful respite in Darwin โ€” and what an incredible two weeks it was!

From fishing adventures at East Arm and Howard Springs, to shopping trips, weaving beautiful baskets, and exploring the Museum, Anastasia made the most of every moment. She also attended her physio and NDIS meetings, visited family, and enjoyed plenty of laughs, shared meals, and movie nights together.

Our team loved seeing and supporting Anastasia and to reconnect, rest, and create new memories. Weโ€™re so grateful to be part of their journey ๐Ÿ’™

Understanding this test is powerfulโ€”it helps participants make informed choices about their plans and ensures providers deliver services that align with NDIS rules and expectations.

When you know what reasonable and necessary means, youโ€™re better equipped to get the right supports, achieve your goals, and use your funding effectively.

The NDIS has launched its new Thriving Kids Program โ€” designed to give children and their families more support early, helping them reach their full potential.

At Carpe Diem Community Services, weโ€™re passionate about creating positive outcomes for kids and families. This program focuses on early intervention, better access to services, and support tailored to each childโ€™s unique needs.

Together, we can help kids grow, learn, and thrive. ๐Ÿ’›

$45 million. Three pilots. One goal: quality supports for NDIS participants.

โœ” Therapy pilot ($20M) starting later this year
โœ” SIL & Support Coordination pilots ($25M+) already underway
โœ” Data guides a three-year NDIS pricing reform plan
โœ” Focus on better outcomes & long-term provider viability

Senator Jenny McAllister: โ€œThe right support makes a real and lasting difference to the lives of NDIS participants.โ€

This is a major step forward for a stronger, fairer NDIS.

With regular visits, Noodles has been helping Jayden build a calm and structured morning routine โ€” filled with comfort, confidence, and plenty of tail wags. The bond between them has been so heartwarming to see.

Weโ€™re incredibly proud of Jaydenโ€™s progress and love how this special friendship is helping him thrive. Keep shining, Jayden โ€” and thank you, Noodles, for being such a wonderful part of the journey!
