The Moments

Two people sit at an outdoor table, talking and working together. One person in a tan shirt has a notebook and a cup in front of them, while the other, wearing a red hoodie, holds a pen over a sheet of paper. The setting includes patio seating and greenery, framed within a circular border on a pink‑to‑purple gradient background with small butterfly icons in two corners.

In any job, there are days that feel routine, days when you tick boxes, follow plans, and go home tired. But in disability support, especially at Inclusion Tree, the work is never just a job, it’s a privilege.

Unlocking Independence

A man using a motorised wheelchair is positioned on a golf course, holding a golf club and preparing to hit a ball. A woman stands in front of him, offering guidance. They’re surrounded by green grass and trees, and the image is framed in a circular border with a purple background decorated with small white butterfly and leaf icons.

Assistive technology (AT) is so much more than just equipment; it’s a gateway to independence, inclusion, and opportunity. The World Health Organisation defines assistive technology as an umbrella term for assistive products, systems, and services that help maintain or improve an individual’s functioning in cognition, communication, hearing, mobility, self-care, and vision.

From Steel to Support

A person sits in an all‑terrain tracked wheelchair on rocky ground in the Australian bush, accompanied by a dog wearing an “EzyDog” harness. The wheelchair’s tank‑like treads rest among stones and dry earth. The person, dressed casually with tattoos, sunglasses, and a cap, appears relaxed and ready to explore. Behind them, native scrub, scattered trees, and an open sky create a rugged bushland backdrop. A blue gradient frame with white butterfly illustrations surrounds the image, adding a sense of lightness and freedom.

At Inclusion Tree, our strength is our people, their unique stories, resilience, and dedication. As we celebrate Support Coordinator Rick Scammell completing his first year with us, we sat down to reflect on his incredible journey from casual worker to a full-time, indispensable member of our team.

A Deep Dive into Duty of Care and Dignity of Risk in NDIS Support

At Inclusion Tree, we believe every individual has the right to author their own story. As an NDIS provider, we are dedicated to fostering genuine inclusion and empowerment by balancing two essential principles: Duty of Care and Dignity of Risk. While these concepts form the bedrock of ethical support, misunderstandings often lead to practices that unintentionally limit autonomy and growth.
