Senior Helpers Sydney Eastern Suburbs’ Post

Let’s Talk Legacy I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had applications for housing, only to have to tell people they don’t have SDA funding to move. This is heartbreaking, because the wait time can exceed 6 months! (Although it shouldn’t!) Understanding that if someone received SDA in their plan automatically, means they need to go through the entire process if they want to move, sets people’s expectations and understanding, to know they realistically need 3-6 months to go through functional capacity assessments and complete home and living applications Reach out if you have legacy housing or if you or your participant would like to explore the option of moving to new SDA stock

So happy to see the first article published in from our research with younger people (<65) living in residential aged care without access to the NDIS. It focuses on the perspectives of the professionals who support those younger people, and highlights the various, complex barriers preventing more suitable living arrangements from being realised for this group. https://lnkd.in/eXHWmnMc #ypirac #ndis #disability

Being a recruiter for care services is a lot like being a navigator in uncharted waters. It's challenging, unpredictable, and incredibly rewarding. Every day, I have the chance to match amazing individuals with opportunities that can change YPs lives. It's not just about filling positions; it's about understanding dreams and turning them into realities. Sure, there are days when the to-do list seems endless, and my desk looks like a battleground of papers and coffee cups. But then there are those moments - when you see the impact of your work on someone's life - that remind you why it's all worth it. So here's to the journey, the ups and downs, and the joy of making a difference. Working with children in care or leaving care isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to be part of something bigger, to contribute to someone's success story. And that, to me, is the best part of what I do. #RealImpact #CareLeaversServices #MakingADifference #residentialcare #ChildrenInCare #FosterCareJourney #SupportingYouth #CareLeaverSuccess #YouthEmpowerment #BrightFuturesAhead #ChildWelfareAdvocacy #FosterCareAwareness #EmpowerCareLeavers #ChildProtection #TransformingLives #AdvocateForChildren #SupportingFamilies #FosteringHope #BuildingResilience #YouthDevelopment #CommunitySupport #CareToChange #InspireTheYouth #FutureLeaders #MakeADifference

Not for the faint hearted! The evidence supporting the National Foster Carer's Qualifications is comprehensive, spanning approximately 12,000 words. This extensive documentation is necessary, as it unequivocally substantiates the need for these national qualifications, backed by numerous government care reviews and committee findings, reports, surveys, research, and more. The next step is to update this evidence with the empirical data collected from the largest ever Independent Foster Carer's Survey conducted by FosterWiki in 2024. The Evidience: https://lnkd.in/e8ZZyK7r Independent Survey Report: https://lnkd.in/eND6Km6b #fostercare #wecare #raisingstandards #betteroutcomes

Substantial evidence and findings to quanitify the need for this qualification.

I think this is completely wrong! This practice started recently in our area, but what about other local authorities? I wondered Is it just for those supported in family homes or does it apply more broadly? Disabled young care leavers are increasingly facing financial pressure as some LAs are now including the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment in their care assessments, taking a percentage toward care costs. This undermines the purpose of PIP, which is meant to support independence and cover disability related expenses. As a result, many are left with reduced funds —disabled young people deserve better! #DisabilityRights #CareLeavers #PIP #FinancialFairness #IndependenceMatters #EqualRights #AdultsSocialCare
