Nulsen News

The guys from the Fraternity Of The Travelling Trousers were back again this week to catch up with the guys at home in Bassendean. Bernie, Darren, Robbie, Michael and Craig were delighted to see the guys who joined in for more colouring-in activities and even whipped up a delicious lunch followed by a home-baked cake in early celebration of Michael’s birthday! They can't wait to see them all again soon! Special thanks to the team for taking the time to get know residents at Nulsen these past few weeks.

It was a full house at Albemarle when Nulsen Youth Patrons from Hale School dropped in for a visit. Alumni member Hudson Delves and Project Centre Manager of Westfield Carousel, Chris also came along to check out the activity. It was a jam-packed afternoon of gardening, cooking, drumming and bowling on the Nintendo Wii! It certainly was an afternoon of fun and great conversation. The guys at Albemarle look forward to the next visit!

Special thanks to volunteers from the Fraternity Of The Travelling Trousers who came out to one of our homes in Bassendean last Saturday to visit Bernie, Darren, Craig, Michael and Robbie. The group got to know the guys over a range of activities including jigsaw puzzles, drawing and plenty of lively banter with Bernie pulling a few jokes here and there. The group will be visiting again this weekend! Watch this space for more photos 📸

Special thanks to our corporate partners from Zenith Insurance Services who stepped up to help with the cook off and supplied the BBQ! It was a beautiful spring day topped off with some tasty snags!

At Nulsen, we support people over the age of 65. Find out how they and other people over 65 with a disability will be impacted by the NDIS in this week's edition of the Nulsen NDIS Q and A series.

Move over Scott Morrison (ScoMo), our future leaders at Hale School are waiting in the wings - and from what we saw at yesterday's Boardroom Luncheon hosted by Kailis Bros Leederville, the future is looking bright ☀️

As part of the Nulsen Youth Patron Program, the students had the opportunity to sharpen their public speaking skills to an audience of parents and business professionals with a topical discussion around the legal and social implications of the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme, and an analysis of student leadership programs such as this one.

The room was abuzz with robust discussion about the definition of reasonable and necessary supports under the NDIS and the impact the social reform is having on quality of life for people with complex disabilities.

Transport is a hot topic under the NDIS, find out what it means in this week's episode of the Nulsen NDIS Q & A series 🎥 #NDISQandA

'Reasonable and necessary' are two very important words in the NDIS language. Knowing what they mean for the people we support is key to knowing how rosters might be affected.

Hale School showed overwhelming support for Nulsen Disability Services with middle and senior school purchasing all 480 sausages on offer at a recent sausage sizzle as part of the school’s Arts Cup. Within minutes, all 480 sausages were gone in a flash as a tsunami of students flooded the Youth Patrons for lunch.

Thanks to Zenith Insurance Services for cooking via their mobile BBQ, the Nulsen Youth Patrons for braving the elements to raise as much support possible for Nulsen and the Hale School community for their continued collective support.

Finding out how the NDIS will impact the people we support and our employees is incredibly important - fortunately, there's good news in store.

Rob, Steve, Tanya and Kevin attended Hale School House Athletics recently to support Nulsen Youth Patrons to fundraise for Nulsen Disability Services by selling nearly 300 bottles of Powerade.

We’re proud to say they sold out! After a solid morning’s work the residents enjoyed cheering on the Hale community at their athletics carnival including rallying with the students when the final high jumpers tried to clear their PB’s.

Congratulations to our very own Emma Gardiner who was officially recognised as one of three Westfield Local Heroes at the launch of Westfield Carousel today!
