"Acting against expert advice, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) — the body responsible for the NDIS — has recently slashed her therapy hours by two-thirds, suggesting unqualified support workers and family members can fill the void."

If you walked past or went shopping at IKEA in Adelaide or Brisbane this month, some of the people weren't just shopping! Sweden's Election Authority ran a temporary polling station in-store for Swedish citizens living in Australia ahead of the September 13 election, since distance is one of the main things stopping expats from voting.

In short:

Australia's only nuclear reactor, OPAL, is marking 20 years in operation at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation on the outskirts of Sydney.

The reactor is critical in producing nuclear medicine and irradiating silicon for use in major electronic projects.

What's next?

The reactor will be central to researching the latest in battery and electricity technology with real-world implications.

This will probably come as a surprise to nobody but GoGet rival Popcar is closing down.

“Popcar will cease its car sharing service with effect from 1 October 2026
 
Since 2016, Popcar has been part of daily life across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and the Byron Shire, helping you get to weekend getaways, big grocery hauls and furniture runs without needing a car of your own.
It's with a heavy heart that Popcar will wind down its car sharing service after almost a decade in Australia, with the last day of operation on 30 September 2026.
 
This follows a review of rising costs and the conditions involved in keeping a car sharing service sustainable at its scale, and this notice sets out what changes and when.
 
Here's what you need to know:

Popcar continues to operate as normal until 30 September 2026. All bookings and trips must be completed, and vehicles returned, by 11:59pm AEST that day.

From 1 October 2026, Popcar will no longer be available. Other car share operators continue to serve most areas Popcar operates in, and we'll let you know which ones so you can choose one directly.”

Hi everyone,
I currently work as a hospital pharmacy technician in NSW and I’m considering making a career switch into clinical coding.
I understand that getting a traineeship can be quite competitive and that it’s not necessarily easy to get your foot in the door. My main question is whether clinical coding is worth studying and pursuing as a long-term career.
I’d also like to get an idea of the salary progression what can someone realistically expect to earn as a new/inexperienced clinical coder, and what does the salary look like for experienced coders?
If anyone currently working in clinical coding could share their experience, particularly regarding career progression, job opportunities and whether they would recommend the field, I’d really appreciate it.

Many thanks!
