Learn to support urban nature and meet like-minded community members.

Join us and become an Urban Nature Steward by learning how to support and care for nature at home, and across your urban environment.

Steps to being an urban nature steward

Promoting urban biodiversity with local native species

Cooling our urban spaces and why it's important

How plants and gardens can be used to cool your home

Gardening for wildlife and for food

Our NDIS is under attack. It’s time to unite, fight and show the Australian government that we are not an easy target.

Social and community participation budgets will be cut by 30% - replaced by block funded grants to 'host' us in the community (no idea how we get there)

All support workers providing Assistance with Daily Life will need to be from registered providers - too bad if you like employing the person who showers you directly

300,000 less people will be on NDIS and all participants will be reassessed - too bad if you've already provided all the traumatising evidence before (or three times before!)

Scheme growth will be capped at 2 per cent with a chaotic and unpredictable NDIA determining where and on who the axe will fall

A return to the bad old block funded system - putting the lives of real people in the hands of a few big companies and charities often with horrific track records of abuse and neglect

Huge job losses in the disability and wider sector as the market collapses - Based on data by NDS and per-capita, the cuts equate to a loss of 204,000 jobs spread across the nation - most of them women, in a cost-of-living crisis.  

No word on self-directed registration - meaning people managing their own lives effectively will be forced back into having their lives directed by the whims of companies and charities.

It's easier for registered providers to rort the NDIS - they can bill NDIS direct with no requirement to prove that the support billed for actually occurred.

There are many other plans including huge issues around functional capacity assessments - we will be launching our fact sheets at this meeting. 

We will also be launching our 12 days of action in the lead up to the Federal Budget. We’ll be giving you concrete steps to get involved in the push back against these changes and letting you know what else is happening across Australia.

The meeting will be focused on action. There won’t be an opportunity for individual story sharing but there will be clear and specific ways to be part of the push back with options for people with more or less capacity.
