During the All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, Patty from Focal Community Services shed light on navigating the NDIS process and the critical need for proper documentation. Patty emphasized that while the NDIS is a transformative scheme, delays often stem from inadequate evidence provided during reassessments. “Without comprehensive documentation, such as an occupational therapist (OT) assessment, NDIS decisions are often delayed or denied,” she said. A typical suite of documents needed for an NDIS reassessment includes: * OT Functional Capacity Assessments: A vital report detailing a participant’s ability to live independently and their support needs. * Therapist Reports: Evidence from speech, physical, or psychological therapists addressing specific needs. * Service Provider Feedback: Information from providers offering insights into daily challenges and required support. * Individual Living Options Forms (ILO): Crucial for participants seeking housing-related assistance. * Additional Supporting Evidence: Medical records, specialist assessments, and detailed statements from families or guardians. Patty highlighted the importance of education. “Many participants lack support coordinators and don’t know what evidence is required, which delays the process. Understanding the documentation needed is essential to fast-tracking approvals,” she explained. Occupational therapy assessments are a key component, yet they come with challenges, including long wait times of three to six months and additional delays for reports. Spinal Life Australia has called for streamlined processes, better resources, and decision-making reforms to restore the NDIS’s mission of empowering Australians with disabilities. While Patty diplomatically acknowledged both sides of the debate, she underscored that “education and preparation are the keys to navigating the system effectively.” For more insights, tune into the All Ability Hour every Saturday on West Bremer Radio.

CHRISTMAS AND SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS The holiday season saw significant milestones in Division 3, including the completion of the multimillion-dollar upgrade to Cameron Park in Booval. The revamped park features an in-ground trampoline, all-abilities swing, and picnic shelters inspired by the iconic Queenslander design. Opened just before Christmas, the park quickly became a hit with families. Meanwhile, the Christmas in Ipswich celebrations drew an estimated 218,000 visitors to the Nicholas Street Precinct, delighting crowds with dazzling lights, Hoyts cinema, and dining options like Kickin’ In. AUSTRALIA DAY RECOGNITION AND FREE POOL ACCESS The city celebrated its 2025 Australia Day Awards this week, recognizing residents and organizations making a difference. Division 3’s Martin Shaw was named Citizen of the Year for his tireless advocacy for veterans through Wounded Heroes, which also received the Community Group of the Year award. To beat the heat this weekend, residents can enjoy free entry to council-owned pools, including Bundamba and Leichhardt Swim Centres, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, January 26. COUNCIL BACK IN SESSION The first Ipswich City Council meeting for 2025 is scheduled for Tuesday, January 28. Councillor Doyle highlighted the importance of adopting the new Ipswich Plan, which will guide the city’s growth as its population is set to more than double by 2046. Residents are encouraged to participate by attending council meetings in person or via live stream on YouTube. With a full agenda ahead, Ipswich looks forward to a transformative year.

From funding opportunities to community initiatives and infrastructure completions, there’s much to celebrate in the growing electorate. GAMBLING COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND NOW OPEN Queensland’s largest community grants program, the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, is now accepting applications for its first 2025 round. Not-for-profit groups can apply for up to $35,000, with submissions closing on February 28. Recent beneficiaries in the Jordan electorate include the Philippines Australian Multicultural Association ($17,000 for Springfest equipment) and Spring Mountain State School P&C ($33,000 for seating). Mullen encouraged groups to seek her support for their applications, noting the next round will include a $100,000 “super round.” IPSWICH THRIVING SENIORS PROGRAM To tackle isolation and loneliness among older residents, the Ipswich Thriving Seniors program is running at the Springfield Lakes YMCA Community Centre. The initiative, funded with $145,000 in annual state support, offers fitness classes, social programs, and events designed to keep seniors active and connected. Mullen recently attended a “gentle fitness” class and emphasized the importance of such programs in promoting physical and mental well-being among the aging population. SPRINGFIELD GREENBANK ARTERIAL UPGRADES COMPLETE Locals rejoiced as the duplication of the Springfield Greenbank Arterial officially wrapped up. The project, now featuring four lanes from St. Athanby Boulevard to Springfield Parkway, also includes new signalized intersections. The long-awaited upgrade to exit 32 off the Centenary Motorway is nearly complete, with final works delayed by recent rain. The $6.5 million project promises to ease peak-hour traffic congestion. UPCOMING EVENTS The Greater Springfield Kite Festival returns on February 9, bringing nostalgia and community fun.
