Australia’s vulnerable hit hard with nationwide staff shortages
The severe nationwide shortage of staff has also impacted Sistability who primarily provide services to NDIS participants and Aged Care clients across Sydney and the Northern Rivers NSW. Due to the pandemic and the numerous lockdowns that have taken place, we’ve been unable to bring new clients on board as many of our own staff had to cease work and stay home to look after their own families.

What happens if you don’t use your allocated NDIS funds?
Once your current NDIS plan ends, your funds stop. And any unspent funding will NOT roll over into your new plan.
After each plan review, you will receive a new plan outlining supports and funds for the next period of time. While you have the choice and control to spend your funds strategically throughout the year, you cannot roll over unspent money.
What does this mean for you? Simply put, use it or lose it!
Sistability field staff vaccinated against COVID-19
As a registered provider, Sistability Pty Ltd will only send out staff members who have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine to-date; and at least two doses on and after 29 November 2021 to service our disability (NDIS) clients.
Sistability staff who are providing supports to NDIS clients in their homes have provided proof of vaccination which is being held on file by Sistability.
Aromatherapy for stress, anxiety and wellbeing
Studies have shown that specific essential oils used in aromatherapy can help relieve stress, relax the body, and promote better sleep. Essential oils, like lavender, have even been shown to interact the same way biochemically that many anti-anxiety medications do on neuroreceptors. That’s pretty damn amazing if you ask me.

Six health benefits to a clean home
Not only does having a clean home reduce my anxiety and stress levels, but it also allows me to spend quality time with my family - in particular when my toddler asks me to play with him. I can focus all my energy on what I'm doing with him, rather than worry about cleaning the kitchen or having to vacuum or mop the floor! I know he appreciates that too because he gets all of me, not a distracted mother who wants to pull her hair out. A ‘love bomb’ - so to speak - of quality time with his Mumma.
