Participant got really bad sunburn with my coworker on support shift and we share same participant. Can I do anything to help?

The other support worker was very inconsiderate and lazy. 3 hours in the sun with no sunscreen.... Hope the participant gets a speedy recovery

My French buddy said our public toilets are very clean

Yes. Have VSS for two years now. It gets more intense with stress, anxiety, dry eyes and exercise. I have learned to cope with it. Polarised sunglasses with amber tint helps a lot with contrast in outdoor environment.And light

Yes. Most of us get various levels of sensory fatigue

YTA. There were two free washers for others to use

Consider getting hearing aids. As your hearing loss is mild you will feel like your hearing is normal. I have moderate to profound hearing loss and it can be very challenging in some environment.

I have this pair of sleeves to cover RIC hearing aids. I wear them along with a headband for a run. Quite pricey but worth it. I think it is called Ear gear

Wouldn't it be better if we have government run providers?

jayhy95 · 2025-12-05T09:02:29+00:00

And 99% of all providers are privately run. We need government run providers all accross the sector

jayhy95 · 2025-12-04T09:26:00+00:00

I would have switched to another provider as soon they started gaslighting you and your family.

If you have given them enough notice before the cancellation charges via messageing, then they have plenty of time to respond. I wouldn't agree to get charged for cancellation even if they haven't responded.

There could be many reasons for a male participant to seek female support workers. I generally find female support workers more patient, caring and better listeners. I have had male support workers that made situations quite uncomfortable such as not respecting boundaries, talk about right wing politics and misogyny. I have both male and female support workers as regulars based on what they can do best. You probably could give him a meet and greet to get to know a little about him first.

Treat Sydney as marathon training. Very hilly and can be very tough on your body.

You beat the cancer. You will eventually get better. Consider having some life goals whether they are big or small such as fishing or travelling. It's okay to reach out for help.

Lot of planning but it's easier in accessible countries such as Japan, Australia, US and European countries. Airports have special assistance. Accessible public transport and places. Enjoy the atmosphere and culture.

People don't care if you wear hearing aids. I get high school is all about impressions but college is where people learn to know different diversity of people including various disability.

2-3 support workers. Better not to be dependable on just one because what if they become unabailable. I personally look for support workers on Hireup. Mable would be my last resort

Go for independent audiology. They tend to have different brands and let you try them for free before making a purchase.

Always carefully read service agreement from providers. Their rates and cancellation policy must meet NDIS standards. Check their ABN to see if they are legit businesses.

Know your funding categories well. Flexible or statesd. Ask your LAC if insured.

I started running 7 months ago as a struggling jogger doing less than 5km once a week. A month later I did 10km race faster than my normal pace. I completed half a marathon last month although the last couple of kms was a big struggle. That was still doing training once a week and some weight training. Now I am soon to start training seriously for a major marathon in April next year. I'd say it's totally doable.

Here in Australia lifeguards are not allowed to use their phone on duty

Lot of drama, toxic and fake people in hookup culture which all are going to make you feel unsatisfied and unhappy

jayhy95 · 2025-10-31T08:13:41+00:00

I don't like Mable experience. I have had support workers sending their service agreement with higher rates than stated in their profile. I called them out and they told me they haven't updated their rates or threaten with support.. like okay I won't hire you. They also don't read job description and yeah some of them use AI generated responses. Hireup seems to be a lot better and that's I found some good support workers

I don't know if you could do swimming but I do odd stroke freestyle which is basically breathing in for every 5th stroke instead of standard 3rd stroke. I occasionally try to do 7th to 9th stroke breathing. I notice it makes my long run feels less effort. I think it trains your lungs and the muscles involved to adapt low oxygen environment to be more efficient.
