Today is World Food Day, celebrated every October to raise awareness about food security and nutrition around the world. This year’s theme is Innovate Today. Nourish Tomorrow.

Here at MDS, we like to mark it a little differently. For us, food is about connection.

Marc had his pick sorted. A classic parmi at the Mildura Working Man’s Club, enjoyed with good company and plenty of smiles. 🍽️

🎄✨ The MDS Christmas Lights Bus Tour is BACK! ✨🎄

It's become one of our favourite traditions. We hop on the bus, cruise around Mildura and take in the best Christmas lights in town. It's festive, relaxed and a whole lot of fun 🌟

Everyone is welcome, whether you're a participant, family member, carer, friend or neighbour, so bring the whole crew! 🎅💚

This year we're checking numbers first, so we know we can fill the bus. We're looking at these nights:

🚌 Friday 18 December
🚌 Saturday 19 December
🚌 Tuesday 22 December
🚌 Wednesday 23 December

Keen to come? Let us know ASAP!
Comment 🎄 below or send us a DM with:
✔️ Your name
✔️ How many people are coming
✔️ Which night(s) suit you best

This is an expression of interest only, not a booking. If the numbers are there, we'll share booking details in a follow-up post 💚

Did you know there are 3 million carers in Australia?

Many of them don’t even identify as one. If you’re supporting a family member or friend living with disability, a chronic illness, or mental health challenges, you are a carer. And what you do matters more than you know.

National Carers Week runs from 11 to 17 October this year, and the theme is making carers visible. So this week, we just want to say: we see you.

If you’re looking for support around your caring role, or if the person you care for needs additional NDIS supports, our team is always happy to have a chat.

🚌🎄 Calling Mildura & Sunraysia businesses! 🎄🚌

Every December, Murray Darling Supports runs a Christmas Lights Bus Tour that's open to our whole community. It brings together the people we support, their families, our team and locals from across Mildura for a night of festive fun ✨

This year we're looking for a local business to help us get the wheels turning. Could you donate or discount a bus (and/or driver) for one or more of these evenings?

📅 Fri 18 · Sat 19 · Tue 22 · Wed 23 December

A wheelchair-accessible or low-floor bus would be amazing, but every offer helps!

In return, we'll proudly thank and tag you across our socials and recognise you as our official tour partner 💚

Know a bus company, school bus operator or community group with a bus? Tag them below or share this post! You can also DM us or email [email protected]

This week is National Carers Week, running from 11 to 17 October.
Australia has 3 million carers. They are parents, partners, siblings, friends, and neighbours who show up every single day, often quietly and without much recognition. They balance caring with work, study, their own health, and everything else life throws at them.

At MDS, we work alongside carers all the time. We see how much they give, and we know that the support we provide to participants also makes a difference to the families and carers around them.

This week, if you know a carer, tell them. A text, a visit, a coffee. It doesn’t have to be big.

And if you’re a carer yourself, we see you. 💙

Did you know that unspent NDIS funding does not roll over to your next plan? 💚

This surprises a lot of people. If you do not use your funding within your plan period it generally goes back to the NDIS. You do not get to keep it or carry it forward.

This is why it is so important to understand what your funding covers and make the most of it while you have it. A few things worth knowing:

✔️ Your funding is tied to your plan period, not a calendar year
✔️ Unspent funds cannot be saved up or transferred to your next plan
✔️ If your needs change mid plan you can request an unscheduled review
✔️ A support coordinator can help you understand and use your funding effectively

Not sure if you are making the most of your plan? Reach out to our team or speak to Fiona, our in-house support coordinator.
