Congratulations to Ben Strum and Grace Tame for their movie ‘Where the world is quiet’ which recently won an award at the Focus on Ability Short Film Awards - if you haven’t seen the movie please do - it will move you on so many levels.

You don’t need to be an ultra marathon runner or autistic to appreciate its beauty and rawness.

We have been lucky enough to work with Ben on a much smaller project and we can’t wait to release our little clip!

Ben - we hope this opens lots of doors and you can use your talents as a platform to advocate for autistic people.
And to Aspect - Autism Spectrum Australia for knowing how to back the right projects!

Huge congratulations to Grace Tame and Ben Strum on taking out the Judges’ Choice Award for documentary 'Where the World is Quiet' at the 2025 Focus On Ability Short Film Festival! 🎬✨

We loved being part of this creative project and couldn’t be happier for the whole team. Such a well deserved win! 👏👏

In case you haven't heard the NDIA has appointed a new CEO, Mr Graeme Head.

The initial community reaction is hopeful but watchful. The challenges that Mr Head's new role will present are plentiful, especially at a time when the community is looking for leadership that encourages open dialogue and increased transparency around any future reforms.

He will commence the role on 24 November 2025, and many of us, including the team at MyCareSpace will be watching his every move, hoping for greater transparency and accountability.

As an NDIS business owner, it’s sensible to protect your business with service agreements or other standard-form agreements, such as website terms and conditions.

However, if your agreements contain unfair contract terms, you may not be able to take action if someone breaches the agreement, and you could even face penalties.
If you need assistance with understanding your privacy obligations, our legal partner LegalVision can help.

Last week we had the privilege of joining ANZ Australia's Neurodiversity Marketplace.
It was an inspiring event that highlighted what true inclusion looks like in the workplace 🤗

It’s encouraging to see large organisations like ANZ leading the way in recognising and celebrating neurodiversity. Their commitment through programs like Spectrum and the Wired Differently employee network is helping to reshape how workplaces understand and support neurodivergent talent😊

At MyCareSpace, we’ve seen firsthand how collaborations with leading organisations such as ANZ create positive change, not just for neurodiverse employees, but for our wider community.

This event shines a light on how mainstream corporate Australia can help build understanding, challenge assumptions, and provide the support and flexibility neurodivergent people need to thrive at work.

A heartfelt thank you to Verity Thornton, Yasmin Zancanaro, Kristy Abbott and the ANZ team for hosting such a well-run, welcoming event. It was a pleasure to connect with so many passionate advocates.

Here’s to more opportunities that celebrate difference and open doors for everyone.

If you spot any little one (or even a teen!) trick-or-treating carrying a blue pumpkin bucket - there’s a special meaning behind it 🎃

💙 The blue pumpkin bucket is a quiet way to show that the child is autistic and nonverbal or have a sensory processing disorder.

It’s their way of saying:
👉 “I’m here to enjoy Halloween too — I might not say ‘trick or treat’ or make eye contact, but I’m just as excited to be part of the fun!”

So if you see a blue bucket tonight:
✨ Be patient
✨ Offer a smile

Let’s make Halloween inclusive for everyone! 💙👻
