Recently, our Mow & Mend Team installed Share the Dignity period pack dispensing units at The Bridge Works, providing our supported employees with discreet, dignified access to period packs whenever they’re needed.

It’s a small but meaningful way we’re creating a more inclusive, supportive workplace because everyone deserves to feel comfortable and be able to bring their best self to work.

A big thank you to Share the Dignity for these awesome dispensing units!

🔵 NDIS Reset Announcement This Week - What You Nee 🔵 NDIS Reset Announcement This Week - What You Need to Know

The Australian Government has announced a major “reset” of the NDIS to strengthen the Scheme and ensure it continues to support people with permanent and significant disability.

The reforms focuses on: 
✔️ Stopping fraud
✔️ Slowing fast‑growing costs
✔️ Making eligibility clearer
✔️ Improving service quality

What we’re advising participants and families: 
👉 Stay informed about changes to Social & Community Participation funding from October 2026 
👉 Be aware that new functional assessments start January 2028 
👉 Check that your providers are registered, with new rules rolling out from July 2027

Our role: 
At The Bridge Inc, we’ve been a fully registered NDIS provider since 2016. Our staff are qualified, we follow strong safety and quality systems, and we’re audited regularly. We encourage everyone to make sure their providers are registered to ensure safe, high‑quality supports.

What’s next: 
The NDIS is being reshaped to make it stronger and more sustainable. We’ll continue to watch the changes closely and support participants and families through every step.

For more information, visit the link in our bio to access the easy read guide from the NDIS.

A change of location doesn’t have to mean a change A change of location doesn’t have to mean a change in support. 🧡

After moving with her family to Kyabram, Deb’s lifestyle shifted significantly and our Support Coordination team continued to support her remotely to stay connected with the services and supports that help her work towards her goals.

Through a blend of individual and group-based supports, Deb has been building skills and confidence across education, health and recreation goals. 

One of Deb’s recent goals was learning to sew and with hard work and persistence, she’s proudly finished making the skirt she’s wearing in the photo. 🧵✨ 

These are the moments that remind us why person-led goals matter and how powerful the right support can be.
