of individualised funding packages and those in
Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) blockfunded arrangements.

Support or make a referral please contact us by

We can supply a package of support under the
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or
Individually Funded Support packages. This
includes funded support services either agency
managed, self-managed or a combination of
both.
We will help people with disability gain
more choice and control over the
services they receive, and how these
services are provided.
For supported accommodation, clients pay a
percentage of rent and living expenses and a
service fee.
