It's hard to believe that we are One Year old.

When we started Lion and Mouse, we knew the disability space was challenging. What we didn’t fully realise was just how much uncertainty, change and pressure families would be under as the NDIS continues to shift and reform.

Almost from day one, the rules, language and expectations around the NDIS have been changing, sometimes quickly, sometimes without much clarity, and often in ways that directly affect people’s everyday lives.

This year marks Lion and Mouse’s first year, and what a year it has been. When we started Lion and Mouse, we knew the disability space was challenging.

Did you know that our CEO loves the colour Purple...

March 26 is International Purple Day for epilepsy! So, on THURSDAY, it's time to PURPLE UP and join people worldwide who will be wearing purple supporting those living with epilepsy.

2026 is our year to stand with the 1 in 26 people who will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime.

Dust off your 1970s purple flares or put on your latest purple garments. 😀

We agree

From 1 July 2026, the NDIS will start moving people into a completely new planning system.

But these changes are being rushed to meet a deadline, not to get it right.

When reforms move this fast, people get left behind. Needs are missed. Supports fall short.
We only get one chance to get this right.
