Our Reasonable. Necessary. Ordinary campaign asked people with disability to share your real life stories about “What does the NDIS make possible in your everyday life?“

These are the real life stories and impacts of NDIS cuts.

As this anonymous dad from North Queensland story shared "These are not luxuries. This is not a “lifestyle choice.” This is the difference between being safe and being vulnerable. Between working and not working. Between being a dad and my son growing up without me."

Sometimes the signs are easy to miss. A participant may benefit from additional support when daily tasks become more challenging, social connections decrease, or family members begin feeling overwhelmed. Early support can make a meaningful difference in maintaining independence and quality of life.

Ever heard of Hospital in the Home (HITH)? 🏡

HITH allows patients to continue their treatment from the comfort of their own home. It's a great option for patients who need medical treatment, but don't want a long hospital stay. 🫶

Medical, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, mental health and social work are all services that can be accessed. Patients are classed as a hospital admission and clinicians can see them in person or via a phone or video call, depending on the condition being treated.

Some of the conditions that can be managed via HITH include:
👉 skin inflammations
👉 blood clots in the legs or lungs
👉 pneumonia and severe chest infections
👉 urinary tract infections.

To access HITH, patients need to be medically stable, have a fixed address, a working phone, and a safe home environment.

We'd love to hear about your experience if you have used HITH services! 😊

Checking in isn't a one-time thing.

It's not something you tick off once they say the right words. It's an ongoing way of showing someone they matter. It can be as simple as 'how was your day?', 'what's been happening?' or 'how's your week looking?'.
