Hi everyone!

I just wanted to reintroduce myself to the community ... I’m Ebony, EAKH's Support Coordinator born and raised right here in Nhulunbuy!

After spending time working across QLD, I’m so glad to be supporting people in our local community to navigate the NDIS, build the right supports, and achieve their goals.

I know how unique and connected our region is, and it’s such a privilege to help locals access the right services and make things happen here💛

I currently still have capacity for Support Coordination (Level 1, 2, & Specialist) ... so if you or someone you support is looking for guidance with their NDIS plan, please feel free to reach out for a chat.

Ever wondered what the difference is between a plan manager and a support coordinator?

You’re not alone - it’s one of the most common questions we get!

Here’s the short version:
🤝 Support Coordinator = helps with understanding your plan, find providers, and make sure your supports are working well.
💰Plan Manager = looks after the money side - paying invoices, tracking budgets and keeping things on top financially.

Both are an important role in helping you get the most out of your NDIS plan 🧡

For more information or to chat about support coordination services you can email ebony@eakh.com.au

We are excited to let you know about our School Readiness Group that will be running in Term 4✏️📒

This group has been designed to support preschool-aged children as they prepare for the transition into school. The sessions will focus on a range of important skills for school readiness, including:

🏐 Fine and gross motor skills (movement, strength, and coordination)

📚 Early literacy skills (pre-reading and pre-writing foundations)

🥪 Independence in daily living (dressing, packing and unpacking school bags, using lunch boxes)

👦👧 Social and emotional development (confidence, friendships, managing feelings)

🏫 Identifying individual needs to support each child’s transition to school

The program has been created and will be run by our Literacy and Learning Therapists, with support from an Allied Health Assistant.

Importantly, this group is claimable under the Program of Supports through the NDIS.

If you would like to register your child or learn more about the group, please get in touch with us as enrolments close on the 10th of October.

We look forward to supporting your child on their journey toward a confident and successful start to school!

Out of respect for the entire Rirratjingu clan and family of Mr M. Marika, please note that our Kids Hub office will be closed to the public for the remainder of the day.

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of our revered Elder and former Chairperson of the Rirratjingu Aboriginal Corporation, Mr M Marika.

Mr Marika was a senior Rirratjingu man, a cultural leader, a Christian man, and a statesman whose legacy lives on through his unwavering dedication to family, community, and country. He served as Chairperson during critical times and was active across many of our corporations, helping to grow and guide our organisation into the strong position it holds today.

His leadership, humility and quiet strength will be deeply missed. We ask that all respect cultural protocols at this time, including avoiding the use of his first name or image. Our thoughts are with his family and the wider Yolŋu community as we enter Sorry Business.

Rest well, Senior Man. Your spirit will continue to walk on country.
