📱 Using the Child Support app? There’s an important change coming.

If you use Child Support services through the Express Plus Child Support app, you’ll need to switch to the myGov app. The Express Plus Child Support app will retire on 9 October 2026.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 The app is no longer available to download. It was removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play on 7 August.

🔹 If you already have the app installed, you can continue using it until 9 October 2026.

🔹 From 9 October, you’ll need to use myGov to access your Child Support services.

🔹 Through the myGov app or your myGov account, you can continue to do things like:
• make Child Support payments
• update your details
• upload documents
• manage your Child Support information.

💡 If you currently use the Express Plus Child Support app, now is a good time to set up the myGov app so you’re familiar with it before the change takes effect.

For help setting up the myGov app, visit myGov app guidance.

Why does this matter?

For women navigating separation, parenting arrangements and Child Support, being able to access important information and services securely can be essential.

A change to the way you access your account shouldn’t mean being locked out of the information or support you need.

📌 Save this post or share it with someone who uses Child Support services.

Blue Tree Project
Check in on people
Ensure they know they aren't alone

Long before there were thousands of blue trees around the world, there was just one, standing quietly in the middle of a paddock.

At the heart of Blue Tree Project is Jayden's story.

Back in 2014, Jayden and his mate Tjarda stumbled across a leftover tin of blue paint in the shed on his family farm. Armed with paint brushes and a bit of mischief, they painted a non-living tree bright blue as a practical joke.

For four years, the blue tree remained their secret. They often laughed about how long it would take Jayden's dad to find it.

Tragically, Jayden died by su***de in 2018 at the age of 28.

When Jayden's loved ones gathered to celebrate his life, Tjarda shared the story of the blue tree for the first time. What started as a light-hearted prank became the start of something bigger.

Inspired by Jayden, his sisters, Kendall and Erryn, together with his best mate Simon, created Blue Tree Project.

Today, that one blue tree has become thousands. They stand as reminders to check in on the people around us, start conversations about mental health and let people know they don't have to face life's challenges alone.

Jayden's legacy lives on in every blue tree and in the conversations, connection and hope they continue to inspire 💙

To some it's "just a blue tree" 💭

But to Alex, it was the moment she realised she wasn't alone and called a support helpline.

To Dan, it was a nudge to check in on that mate that had been missing from the last few catch ups.

For Will and Emma, it was a reminder to start having regular conversations about mental health with their children.

A blue tree is so much more than the paint on the surface.

It's a conversation starter, a reminder to check in and a symbol that speaks loudly without ever saying a word 💙

Embracing the power of “no” isn’t about becoming negative or closed off.

“No” is not a rejection of a person. It’s a decision about a specific request or situation. It’s about creating a life that reflects your true priorities and values. It’s about preserving your energy for what truly matters.

And ultimately, it’s about being able to give your fullest “yes” to the things that light you up and bring you joy.

Did you know coercive control is a criminal offence in Queensland?

This means it is illegal for an adult to use abusive behaviours to control, scare, isolate or dominate their current or former partner, a family member, or an unpaid carer.

These behaviours can be physical or non physical, including things like:
💸 Financial abuse
📱 Technology abuse
💔 Emotional abuse
📍 Stalking

If an adult intentionally uses these behaviours to control another person, they can face up to 14 years imprisonment.

If you're worried that you may be experiencing coercive control or know someone who may be experiencing it there are resources, help and support available.

For information on coercive control laws and support options visit https://www.qld.gov.au/community/getting-support-health-social-issue/support-victims-abuse/need-to-know/coercive-control/coercive-control-laws

[Image description: A graphic with a blue background with a header saying "Coercive control is a criminal offence in Queensland." There is more text saying "It is illegal for an adult to use abusive behaviours towards their current or former intimate partner, family member, or informal (unpaid) carer with the intention to control or coerce." There is an illustration of a man gesturing towards an upset woman sitting with her knees up to her chest.]
