Historically, the Mable platform assumed all support is weekly, but some clients need it less frequently. This is especially true for services such as gardening or cleaning, which may not be needed every single week.

And so, we have introduced flexible scheduling options.

What's changed

Frequency options have been expanded for Ready-made jobs.

You can now access the following frequency options:

One-off
Ongoing weekly
Ongoing fortnightly
Ongoing monthly

Frequency options have also been expanded for regular (not Ready-made) public and private job forms to now include the following:

Fortnightly
Monthly

This feature is available on both the Mable App and the website.

What these changes mean

These changes mean that clients have more frequency options to choose from in the job form, so it's easy to select the right option for their support needs.

For independent support workers, this means the scope of work is clear before connecting with the client, avoiding unnecessary back and forth with the client.

How it works

Disabled mums are the quiet supermums

As the water trickled over the rocks and my kids explored the bush, their laughter mingling with birdsong, I sat quietly on the wooden seat, taking it all in. The peace, the joy - but also something else. My eyes welled up just as my independent support worker glanced at me. She slipped an arm around me and gave a gentle squeeze. I didn't need to explain what I was feeling but she already knew. That feeling is something that I think every parent living with a disability needs to hear and embrace. A different kind of angst Mum - and dad - guilt is almost synonymous with parenting these days. We worry we're not doing enough, not being enough; that there's never enough time, money, or energy. But when you're parenting with disability, that feeling cuts deeper. It's the sting when you can't do something for, or with, your kids. Like driving them to a birthday party, kicking a soccer ball in the backyard. It's crying quietly in the kitchen when disability and parenthood all feels too much.

NDIS reforms announced: What we know so far

On 22 April 2026, Health Minister Mark Butler announced major reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The changes have been described as a 'reset' with the intention to refocus the scheme, reduce spending and ensure long-term sustainability. While the reforms are wide-ranging, they will not take effect immediately and will be introduced gradually over time. The Government will introduce the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill next month, then there will be a lot of debate and community consultation before we see any changes take effect. Here's an explainer of the announcement and the key takeaways. Why the 'reset'? The NDIS was established to support people in Australia living with 'permanent and significant disability' 13 years ago. Since then, its rapid growth has seen the scheme expand much faster than originally forecast. Spending increasing by 10-14 per cent per year. Today, there are more than 75
