Photo of an autumn maple leaf beside text that reads: Canberra Disability Review. "If you don't have a diagnosis, a potential risk is that you end up with discretionary assessments and a discretionary kind of triage system. And if we're thinking again about a resource constrained environment, which you and I are both predicting that Thriving Kids will be, that's a really important consideration as well." Molly Saunders.

A square graphic with a dark grey background and diagonal stripes in green, blue, white, yellow, and red — the colours of the Disability Pride Flag. In the centre, bold black text on a light grey banner reads: “Disability Pride Month.” In the bottom right, smaller text says: “July 2025.” In the bottom left corner is the Heidi LaPaglia Reid CONSULTING logo in white.

5/5 #DisabilityPride isn’t easy when support is being stripped away and our needs are treated like a burden.

But that’s exactly when it matters.

Pride is resistance. Pride is survival. Pride is saying: we are not going anywhere.

1/5 It’s Disability Pride Month.
But this year, pride feels harder than it should.

NDIS reform is being sold as a “reset” — but for many of us, it’s a slow narrowing of who is seen as deserving of support.
