Allied Health Assistant for NDIS Participants | Gold Coast & Logan What If Getting the Homework Done Didn't Feel Like Homework? A straight up explanation of what an Allied Health Assistant actually does... and why the way we're doing it at Slim Gym might be a little different to what you've seen before. There's a gap between the clinic and real life. Most people in this industry know it's there. Not many are talking about what to do about it. A physio sees a participant and g

Navigating the various supports and concessions available to people with disabilities (PWD) can be overwhelming.

Æ Group — Entrepreneurship Program for Neurodivergent Adults The letter æ (called "ash") is pronounced like the "a" in the English words cat, "dad", or "apple". So with a little twist, it will phonetically sound like æ (our) group Can't That is a word I hear so often with the young fellas with ASD that I work with. I started out just doing personal training, and I saw they were missing certain things, so I didn't have a choice — I had to help. A big part of what I see is tha

Slim Gym & FrieNDIS · Events · Northern Gold Coast & Logan Pretty good turnout today. I forgot to take a photo again, it is becoming a habit. How many times do you think I will need to reuse this photo? Will anyone notice, I wonder A big thank you to Eagleby Neighbourhood Centre for having us. NDIS provider collaboration on the Gold Coast needs a home and they provide a great one. If you have not come across them yet they are a great local resource worth knowing about. Th

Not Another PD Podcast Gold Coast I met Jazmin Pursell at one of our networking events and she invited me to be on her podcast. Quite nice for someone with imposter syndrome to have a professional like Jazmin request their brain to be put on display. Same as what I do with my clients -- help them to prove they are more than they believe. I guess normal people would call that validation. Jazmin is a consultant who works with social workers, allied health professionals, and pra

NDIS Networking Event Gold Coast A solid turnout and real conversations Today we had a good turnout, considering it was the day after a public holiday again. Thank you to everyone who came. We had a chance to have some good conversations and explore different ideas. We had a bit of a mix today. Capoeira classes specifically designed with PWD in mind, transport options helping PWD save funding by not always requiring a support worker for appointments, a neurodivergent ladies g

Eagleby Networking Was Quiet… But the Hidden Disability Sunflower Talk Was Worth It Today’s networking event at Eagleby Neighbourhood Centre was a more cosy one, probably being the day after Easter. Hope everyone had a good holiday and didn’t have too big a hangover. Big thanks to the amazing team at Eagleby Neighbourhood Centre whose awesome idea and connections brought us this opportunity. Of course, I forgot to take photos, so the Sunflower lanyard can be our picture. We

Gold Coast Disability Networking – First Helensvale at ARRC Rehab Why Gold Coast Disability Networking Feels Different I quite enjoy these networking events. Not because they are mine… but probably because they are mine. This Gold Coast disability networking event was our first in Helensvale at ARRC Rehab. As I learn more about my brain and how I interact with the world, and the things I didn’t even realise I needed to interact properly, I can see how I’ve created this space

We really appreciate the support and the opportunity to create inclusive, community-focused events in a venue that genuinely welcomes it. Our latest DiscoAbility Helensvale event wa

Collaborative Disability Supports Across the Gold Coast and Logan Why This Eagleby Event Felt Different February’s Eagleby networking event was the biggest one we’ve had at this location so far, with around 22 providers in the room — and what stood out wasn’t just the numbers, but the tone of the conversations. The recurring theme throughout the morning was collaboration. Not collaboration as a buzzword. Not “send me referrals, and I’ll send you referrals.” But collaboration

What Does an Allied Health Assistant Do? (NDIS Explained) If you’ve been involved with the NDIS for a while, you might have noticed a shift recently. Many NDIS plans now include stated supports , meaning the funding must be used exactly as described in the plan. In some cases, this has reduced flexibility around allied health supports like OT, physio, or exercise physiology. At the same time, we’ve seen Allied Health Providers scale back services, close their doors, or exten

Gold Coast Disability Networking Event Recap – Wrapping Up 2025 Our final networking event of the year was a good one — packed with solid information, honest conversations, and, as always, a few tangents that meant we ran out of time far too quickly. That’s usually a good sign. It means the room is engaged, people feel comfortable speaking openly, and the conversations are actually useful. Personally, I prefer this as I think it is when we actually get to meet the person behi
