NDIS Therapeutic Supports
With 30 years of health and community care behind us, we’re privileged to be able to assist people with disabilities to live well under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Capacity Building Individual Counselling
Face to face counselling support to facilitate self-knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth, and the development of personal resources, to help the participant work towards their personal goals and gain greater insight into their lives. This service is funded by the NDIS if you are NDIA managed or self or plan managed.
Employment Related Assessment & Counselling
Face to face counselling support specifically tailored for participants who are ready to step into employment services but require assistance to explore their strengths and skills and develop the capacity to engage with employment services. The NDIS funds this service if you are NDIA managed or self or plan managed.
NDIS Assessment and Progress Reports
We’ll thoroughly assess your psychosocial disability needs using evidence-based assessments and include your own statement about how your support will assist you in meeting your NDIS goals and your self-determined management plan. The NDIS funds this service if you are NDIA-managed, self-managed, or plan-managed. Please note that these assessment reports are for psychosocial capacity-building purposes. We do not provide medical diagnosis.
You can count on recovery-oriented practice to safely support your journey.
