🎙️ COMING SOON – OUTREACH | Episode 2

OUTREACH is a show dedicated to aged care, disability, and the power of community connection, proudly brought to you by Gratitude Home Care, I-Help Disability Services & Westsider Radio.

For Episode 2, we’re joined by:
✨ Liz Wheeldon – Founder & CEO of Circletalk

Circletalk is a human-centred, capacity-building phone app and platform designed to help people with diverse strengths and needs securely manage personal information, communicate effectively, and build a lifelong support circle.

For many NDIS participants and older Australians, it allows users to share important information with their support network, meaning they don’t have to repeat their story every time someone new enters their life.

Episode 2 is coming very soon, so be sure to watch this space! 🎧

NDIS Cognitive Assessments: 12-Month Wait

Colby discusses the long wait times many people face when seeking cognitive assessments needed for diagnosis and NDIS access, sometimes waiting up to 12 months. He explains how introducing cognitive assessments as a service offering at NPBS aims to improve access and help participants receive the assessments they need sooner to support their NDIS journey.

This is part of Episode 1 of the Outreach podcast/radio show brought to you by Gratitude Home Care, I-Help Disability Services and Westsider Radio.

Restrictive Practices in Victoria’s Disability Institutions
