Happy Fri-yay! Letโs go to the beach! โ๏ธ๐๏ธ
Summer is in full swing, and we all want a dip in the ocean. That should be something everyone can enjoy! ๐
Accessible Beaches Australia has created a Beach Directory to help you find beaches with features like beach matting, beach wheelchairs, accessible parking, toilets, and pathways, so you can plan ahead with confidence.

Stop scrolling. This bedroom could be yours. (Stylish space includedโฆ puppy sadly not ๐ถ๐)
Only two rooms left at our Hamlyn Terrace Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) homes. Ready to move in from January 2026. These High Physical Support (HPS) and Fully Accessible (FA) homes are designed for comfort, connection, and ease of living. ๐กโจ
These homes offer thoughtful design and excellent accessibility features to support day to day life.
Barbie has just introduced its first Barbie representing a person living with autism. Designed with guidance from the autistic community and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, this new Barbie sold out on pre-order in Australia within just two days! ๐
This wasnโt a surface-level attempt at inclusion.
The details are intentional: a fidget spinner that actually spins, noise-cancelling headphones, an AAC tablet, flexible wrists and elbows for common hand movements, and even a softer side gaze.
Our take? This is progress!
Representation in toys matters, because kids notice who gets to be seen, and who gets left out.
Weโve seen some criticism in the online comments, and thatโs okay. Conversations about inclusion should be nuanced. But progress deserves recognition...especially when itโs informed by the very community it represents.
What would you like to see next in inclusive toys?
our only other thoughtโฆ whereโs Ken? ๐

๐ง What are Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects how individuals communicate, interact, and process the world around them. Recognising the signs and symptoms is an important step toward understanding and supporting those with ASD.
From challenges with social communication to sensory sensitivities, autism presents uniquely in every individual. At Unisson, we believe that with awareness and understanding, we can create an inclusive society that values and supports the diverse experiences of people with ASD.
Happy -yay! We are back and ready for the 2026 to unfold!

The most important thing you need to know about us... is Unisson. It means what you think it means. No hidden or cryptic messaging. It is simple. At Unisson, we aim to work with you. Alongside you. In collaboration. In relationship. In Unisson.
There is one part that probably needs an explanation - the double SS. This is to retain a connection to our history and our previous name SunShine.
When we talk about collaboration and partnership it means that your goals are our goals, we really mean that. Whatever you want out of life, and however you want to go about getting there, we are along for the ride with you, and the ride is what we do best!
You see, to us, the ride is the journey, the relationship we build with you. We believe relationships don't just make the world go round, they make it a better place for all of us to live.
We believe our people are different. We only employ good people, people who embody our values. Our people are the ones who want to make a difference in the world. We believe that small actions, create big impact. We are the man who will let you go first in the checkout when you have fewer items. We are the woman who smiled at you with comfort when your young child once again had a tantrum in the shopping centre. We are the people that when we ask, 'how are you?', we stop and really listen to hear how you are. We are the people that believe a more inclusive world for people with disability is possible and we know our everyday actions will help create it.
As an organisation, we've been around forever! Well not forever but close to it, 95 years! We are proud of our history not because it means we are old, but because it means we have nostalgic and inspiring beginnings to lean on. Read about our beginnings that continually inspire us towards our vision of a world where every person is welcomed - really welcomed not just waved at!
You can read about what is ahead for us in our strategic plan in a brief one-pager. We are excited about the future and all the great things that are possible when we work together in Unisson.
