What if I need help with communication or have complex needs? Our support workers are trained to work with clients who have a range of communication needs, including those using communication devices, Auslan, or visual supports. During our intake process, we match you with a support worker who has the right skills and experience for your specific needs.

Is Community Access covered under my NDIS plan? Yes. Community Access typically falls under Core Supports - Assistance with Social and Community Participation. If you have funding in this category, you can use it for our services. We can help you understand your plan and budget allocation.
