In the spotlight

An older woman with light hair and a joyful smile sits beside a black and white dog. She wears a white blouse and a smartwatch, holding her hands near the dog as they both look toward the camera. The photo is framed in a circular border with a yellow outline against a purple-to-magenta gradient background decorated with white butterfly illustrations, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere.

For our participant Belinda (Bel), a small community group has led her on a transformative journey. One where she went from sitting at home to being the opening act for an upcoming theatrical production.

3D printing, Fishing and Dedication

An older man sits in a wheelchair at the edge of a calm lake, fishing on a quiet day. He wears a tan cap and a black shirt, holding a fishing rod extended over the water. A small folding table beside him holds a cup, a cloth, and a snack, with another fishing rod resting near a green chair. The scene is framed by a circular border with a green-to-yellow gradient and small butterfly and heart icons, evoking a peaceful, inclusive moment outdoors.

In his younger years, there was nothing Bill liked more than going out on the ocean with friends on a rented boat to fish. “Just the pleasure and serenity … looking at the water,” Bill told us, thinking back to those days.

NDIS Reform Update: June 2026

Logo for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The design features the lowercase letters ‘ndis’ in white on a purple rounded rectangle, with a small green dot above the ‘i’. The logo sits inside a white circle bordered by orange, on a purple background with a green gradient in the lower left corner. Three white butterfly illustrations appear around the circle.

There has been a lot of discussion over the last few months about reforms to the NDIS, particularly in the last budget release and the legislation changes currently going through parliament. The main message is that many people in our community, participants, families, and providers, feel anxious, confused, or unsure about what these reforms mean.

Rhonda’s Story

An older person with light hair in a headscarf and sunglasses smiles and gestures with one hand. They wear a patterned sleeveless top and jewelry, framed by a purple background with butterfly and heart icons.

At Inclusion Tree, we’re driven by a core belief: lasting change begins with safe, stable housing. Insecure, unsafe, or non-existent housing undermines both physical and mental well-being. Ensuring people have a secure roof over their heads is the foundation for a flourishing life.

Small Wins, Big Hearts

A man using a wheelchair and a woman sit together at a low table beside a shallow water feature, both smiling as they look at a laptop with a rainbow sticker. The man wears a bright red shirt and black shorts, and the woman wears a teal top. The setting appears to be a modern café with plants and large glass windows. The photo is framed within a circular border with an orange outline on a blue-to-purple gradient background, decorated with white butterfly icons.

At Inclusion Tree, we know that progress doesn’t always come in giant leaps. Sometimes it arrives as a quiet phone call, a signed form, or a participant seeing their fruit trees for the first time in years.

Beyond Mobility

A person using a wheelchair boards a van via an accessibility ramp in warm afternoon light. The scene highlights independence and inclusive design, with yellow safety rails and a textured ramp surface. The image is framed by a pink border with butterfly and heart icons, adding a gentle, uplifting tone.

For many of us, the morning routine is automatic: roll out of bed, make a coffee, check our phones, and head out the door. But for over 2.5 billion people globally, these simple tasks present daily barriers. That’s where Assistive Technology (AT) steps in, not just as a tool, but as a bridge back to life.

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.
