  So I am going to start off by saying I know that this is going to be a unpopular or counter narrative opinion talking about what others don’t want to talk about or do what to acknowledge, that registration if managed well is a good thing for providers. We don’t see Nursing staff and mental health staff that have independent business complaining that registration is going to cost them, yes in the short term it could drive up cost’s but so is inflation.   It also protects both parties against abuse and we have just had a   Royal commission into abuse neglect and exploitation so those who are on the providers that are saying being un registered is going back to the dark day’s of no chose and control well I see your point but having providers registered and having a bucket to choose from is a good thing as it means your understanding the Ndis and the documentation that goes into it, as I understand that this is why the price might go up and why medical practitioners might not write NDI

    Hey guys so this is   the start of the new year and I am going to be focusing on the YouTube and podcast a lot more but this is a topic that is very close to my heart and it goes right to the heart of disability culture and it’s support worker culture, and I know I have to be very careful about what I say but can I say that some of you need to have a refresher in ethics in support.

Or going the extreme other way and treating   a clients right to privacy as an excuse to not check in with them, and to leave them isolated and without support and favouring other clients. So we need to find the middle ground of what support they needs. I am also needing to make it cl

The whole uniform debate in the support worker realm is like arguing over the color of deck chairs on the Titanic. Seriously, people, let's not miss the forest for the trees here. We're fussing over whether support workers should wear uniforms while completely ignoring the fact that having support at all is the real victory. Sure, some folks don't want to wear their "I have a disability" badge loud and clear. They argue against uniforms like they're fashion police. But, excuse me, uniforms aren't just about making a fashion statement. They're about accountability and easy identification. In a world where judgment is as common as a Monday morning coffee, knowing who's who can spare someone from unnecessary side-eye. Now, cue the Facebook warriors who think uniforms are the equivalent of a scarlet letter for disability. Please, spare me the melodrama. If you've got real dehumanization issues, it's not because your support worker is decked out

So this is generally coffee breakfast and then chores that I am responsible for in the house, so folding any laundry from the night before, and light cleaning such as washing up. Then I generally start recording on YouTube around 9.00am and then I start drafting the blog posts I have moments of I am really passionate about the blog and very meh moments, at the moment I am pushing myself past the meh moments and this seems to be a very big thing in my life
