You look after everyone else. Who's looking after you?
World Mental Health Day isn't just for the person you're caring for — it's for you too. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to need a break. It's okay to not have it all together.
If you need to talk to someone about support, we're here.
Seeing lots of NDIS changes online and not sure what actually applies to you?
From 1 October 2026, some changes to NDIS funding for social and community activities will start being introduced.
But this doesn't mean everyone's funding changes on October 1.
The changes are being introduced progressively, including when plans are reassessed or a new plan is approved.
If you or someone in your family uses support to get out, stay connected and take part in the community, it's worth understanding what the changes could mean for your individual plan. 💗
Tag someone who needs to know before October 1.
If you're unsure what a change means for your day-to-day support, have a chat with the Lotus Disability Care team.
8:42am: Making sure breakfast isn't a battle. 9:30am: A quick tidy-up. 10:15am: Coffee and a good chat. 11:00am: Getting ready for an appointment. 12:30pm: Lunch. 1:15pm: “What do you feel like doing this afternoon?”
Not every support shift looks the same.
Some days are busy. Some are quiet. Some are mostly about helping with the little things that make someone's day easier.
And sometimes, the most important part of the job isn't what's on the schedule — it's noticing what the person needs in that moment. 🩷
That’s what everyday support can look like at Lotus Disability Care.

Nobody tells you dementia can change how someone watches TV.
Something as ordinary as putting on their favourite show can become a little different.
They might lose track of the storyline. Ask who a character is several times. Watch the same program over and over. Or become unsettled when the ads suddenly get loud.
It can be easy to think they're simply “not paying attention.”
But sometimes, the way they experience the program has changed.
Try keeping things familiar and simple. Choose shows they already know, reduce distracting noise, and don't feel like you need to explain every detail.
And most importantly, let them enjoy TV in their own way. 💗
These are the little everyday things that can be easy to miss — but they can make a difference when supporting someone living with dementia.
Supporting a loved one with dementia? Lotus Disability Care is here to provide personalised support that fits into their everyday life.
A good day doesn't have to be a big day.
A drive, a coffee by the water, somewhere to sit and watch the paddleboarders go past. No plan, no rush.
Some of the best days out are the simple ones.

They probably won't say it's a lot. Tell them you noticed anyway.

Brownies today. Not because it's anyone's birthday — just because it's Saturday and someone wanted to.
Some days support looks like paperwork and appointments. Other days it looks like this. ... See MoreSee Less

A good day doesn't have to be a big day.
Sometimes it's making a cup of tea without help. Getting the washing on the line before it rains. Remembering where you put your keys.
We don't measure progress in milestones. We measure it in Tuesdays that go a bit smoother than the Tuesday before.
If that's the kind of support you're after, we're just a message away.
