Living well after a life-altering injury with support from the NDIS
<p>In the final episode of season two, Mel chats with tech entrepreneur, brand expert and NDIS participant Steve Ralph. At the end of 2017, Steve misjudged a jump into a swimming pool and sustained a spinal cord injury that saw him become a quadriplegic.</p> <p>Steve now needs significant support to go about his day and he’s got some very cool assistive tech to help him get out adventuring, like modified bikes and kayaks and an all-terrain wheelchair. He shares how he manages his NDIS funds with the help of a support coordinator and his advice for people who are new to the scheme. </p> <p>In very exciting news, Steve is hosting a new, soon-to-launch podcast for Hireup called Life Rolls On. This series sees Steve chatting with other people who’ve experienced life-changing injuries – and sharing the challenges and triumphs they've had since. </p> <p>Listen to the Life Rolls On trailer: <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/life-rolls-on/life-rolls-on-trailer-a-podcast-about-living-well">https://omny.fm/shows/life-rolls-on/life-rolls-on-trailer-a-podcast-about-living-well</a></p> <p>Get in touch with NDIS Know-how topic and/or guest suggestions: <a href="mailto:melanie.dimmitt@hireup.com.au">melanie.dimmitt@hireup.com.au</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

How can the NDIS be a fairer, more equitable scheme for all?

If you missed part one, where Lisa shares how she fiercely advocates for her daughter, who is an NDIS participant, skip on back and check it out. </p> <p>In this episode Lisa talks about the issue of inequality in relation to the NDIS – a topic she’s particularly passionate about, having come from a disadvantaged background herself. She also shares how she feels the scheme is going in the area of supporting participants' mental health. </p> <p>Explore Hireup's library of webinars and free resources to help you navigate different elements of the NDIS: <a href="https://bit.ly/HU_NDIS" data-stringify-link="https://bit.ly/HU_NDIS" data-sk="tooltip_parent">https://bit.ly/HU_NDIS</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

An assertive – and effective – approach to NDIS plan reviews
<p>This episode is part one of Mel's chat with Lisa Grech, a researcher, psychologist and proud mum to Hannah, her 20-year-old daughter who has a rare genetic condition and intellectual disability. Lisa herself has multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic mental health issues. She co-parents and cares for Hannah with her ex-husband, Tim. </p> <p>Lisa uses what she calls an “aggressive” strategy when it comes to Hannah’s NDIS plan reviews – and she advocates more broadly around inequality issues within the scheme. In part one of Lisa and Mel's chat, Lisa shares how she assertively and effectively gets what her family needs from the scheme.</p> <p>Link to Lisa Grech and Carly Findlay’s article: <a href="https://hireup.com.au/news/who-has-the-right-to-talk-about-the-issues-facing-people-with-disability/">https://hireup.com.au/news/who-has-the-right-to-talk-about-the-issues-facing-people-with-disability/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
