When You Know the System From Both Sides
Working in health or disability while navigating the NDIS as a participant can feel uniquely complex.
Session six of the Untangling Workshop Series initially run on 3rd June 2026.
For many autistic, neurodivergent, and chronically ill professionals, there may be extra layers:
holding professional knowledge while advocating for your own needs
blurred boundaries between personal and professional identity
high internal expectations ('I should know how to do this')
burnout from carrying insight without always receiving adequate support
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
managing the tension between professional insight and personal experience
reflecting on values for your own support
information security and safety considerations
navigating boundary complexity and network crossover
Who this is for
Autistic, neurodivergent, and chronically ill participants who also work in health, allied health, or the disability sector.
About the facilitator
Untangling is facilitated by Cassie, a social worker and the founder of Nearish Support. Her work is grounded in lived experience and centres the often unseen labour of navigating support systems, with a focus on accessibility, sustainability, and care.
