NDIS Act Explained: Eligibility reassessments - Team DSC Under the new legislation, the NDIA now has more powers when conducting eligibility reassessments. Sara answers all your burning questions.

Key issues with NDIS “eligibility reassessment” changes - I’m flagging procedural fairness issues and a possible back door for Agency assessments, something already resoundingly rejected by participants & practitioners. + need to make sure groups aren’t targeted.

Thanks for coming to the session! As always lots more I could say but I like thinking about a changing “self” as a way to approach capacity/ decision-making. And thanks for linking to me even if the Bluesky logo moved on my slide! 😄🦋

Twitter/X has ceased to be a neutral platform it’s time academics let go Following the recent US election Twitter/X has seen an exodus of users to other platforms. Mark Carrigan, argues that the platform no longer holds value for academics looking to share and communica…

Real talk from Mark Carrigan about the trash fire that is Twitter now.

Sending this to a few colleagues by text.

I might even log in to my Twitter account for the first time in over a year to post it.

Raises hand in sociology of law 🙋‍♀️

Sociology solidarity! 💙

Academia runs on contacting other academics out of the blue and saying HEY do you wanna do this COOL THING for essentially NO REWARD and equally certainly NO RECOGNITION from your employer and those people going OH MAN that sounds AWESOME sign me up for the COOL NO REWARD NO RECOGNITION EXPERIENCE.

I don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️☂️

Manifestly excellent 😄

A tuxedo cat with a most excellent moustache is sitting under a cat. She looks very regal and adorable.

This is one of my cats. I feel like this is an important addition to the Good Place. That is all.

Am 52 and have not yet reached this level. Am applauding 👏

It’s a tough day at work… in Hobart for a gerontology conference and it’s just a tad picturesque 🤷‍♀️

Wondering if it’s possible to build empathy into administrative systems and if so how. Without it we end up with bureaucracy that deals with rules as the end product, rather than people. Or did I just accidentally describe law 🤷‍♀️

Seriously, they held signs up at the RNC about this and got basically no pushback on what it would actually look like.

One of the reasons that we chose to write our big report on mass deportations is that nobody was asking these questions.

Me: Can I get reimbursed for this?

University: Yes, but you'll need to jump through several unpredictable hoops, confront multiple technical hitches, and we will lose your request. It will be the most difficult process you've ever experienced. Shall I send you the forms?

Found my way to BlueSky!
