Appoint a single Neurodivergent mother to a Neurodivergent child, who are both participants, and not part of the current inside clique with govt. Then, we might take the committee seriously. Until then, nah.
Lived experience representation matters.
Are the two things connected?
Maybe not.
But it would be worth looking at.
There's about 80k kids under 18 in NSW with ADHD. On average, someone with a stims script spends $1000 a year on mandatory appts to maintain a script.
That amounts to about 80 million a year in possible consults.
Bulk billing ADHD GP led care would cost the private sector huge $$$$

Fun fact:
Committee that declined GPs in Hazelbrook their prescriber status, the stimulants advisory committee, has a high number of private practitioners.
1/2
The new NDIS Reform Advisory Committee is a joke.
They know what needs to be done.
They just don't want to do it.
No. More. Committees.
We will die of shock if anyone but the most centrist and govt pleasing candidates are on it, also.
#NDIS
Why is this needed when they already know what needs to be done? They just don't want to do it. This is a waste of Disabled time. No more committees.
This announcement and this committee is a bunch of bullshit. No Disabled person we know is impressed. Ooh, another committee. 🫠
NSW Health is blocking GPs at Hazelbrook ADHD Clinic from diagnosing & prescribing after their study ends. This model is life-changing—families need it! Read the press release from #TheANPA: tinyurl.com/ptsf7uad

This is the NDIS under Labor.
So his legacy is stealing Greens policy at the 11th hour. Cool. Guess he didn't want his legacy to be #Gaza and the wrecking of the #NDIS.
When you use ableist language like this, you lose all credibility and prove, again, why Disabled people and our associates are not putting the ALP at the first position this election. When you are done laughing and mocking, perhaps you will realise that the 20 percent have a large share of the vote.
None of us here have elected conservative governments.
We are very concerned by reports that the ADHD shared care GP clinic is Hazelbrook has had its prescribing capacity removed by #NSWHealth
We are meeting with stakeholders this week to discuss concerns + actions to take to keep this vital service available to the #NDCommunity in the #BlueMountains
Do we matter enough to protect?
We do, to each other.
Wtf???
How long will they keep resting on achievements from the past without confronting the fact that right now, they are neocons?
Now do pensions, healthcare, industrial awards / courts, Gonski, NDIS, childcare, ma/paternity leave, family court / garnishing, parenting payments and more...
The NDIA has erased Axel’s disabilities—literally vanished from his file overnight. No explanation. No reassessment. Just gone.
His intellectual disability? Gone.
His severe pain condition? Gone.
His right to live at home with his family? Under attack.

Yes, of course.
Musk said he could end it with $6 billion if the UN gave him a proposal. They gave it to him. He didn't look at it & instead spent $55 billion on Twitter.
We need a lot more federal politicians coming to the Northern Territory, to listen and learn, and that’s why I'm here now. The community are loud and clear that CLP moves to lock up 10 year old kids do not represent their values and won't make anyone safer.
The oldest Robodebt proverb: the junior staffers were always right
Our AGM was rescheduled to next Saturday cos our Prez woz a bit too tired for a meeting. Modeling that "can't" is very real, and nobody should force themselves or be forced to try to push through access needs. Can't is can't. Be the change and sometimes, we lead by being...human.
11am every Friday! We will share the link here the morning of, each time, and it will also be shared on Linked In.
Of course it's complicated - and we don't pretend that it is <3 There are ways to make communities safer than they are - and this is the answer (which even governments know). Bigger picture - we need to invest in communities so they work.
No one is immune from disability. It can happen to anyone at anytime, regardless of how 'young and healthy' you are.
Stop believing you will be the exception, and start engaging in disability justice. It's far easier to fight for better support and treatment while you still have your health.
In January @albomp.bsky.social invested $200M from the National Reconstruction Fund into Gina’s planned Arafura mining & processing facility. But when it comes to steel in Whyalla,👇#FOI shows👇not a dicky bird. Labor backs a billionaire who backs the LNP, but not SA steel workers.🤦♂️ #auspol
