More time to focus on your goals
If you’ve been receiving NDIS home support elsewhere, you’ll be familiar with how much you or your Support Coordinator needs to do just to arrange, organize and keep track of your supports.
At Wesley Mission Queensland, our Care Leaders go above and beyond to provide a high level of case management support. That way, you can focus on your goals, not on managing your supports.
Your choice of one or more support workers
Everyone’s unique. Some people enjoy interacting with a small team of support workers. Others prefer the consistency of a single support worker. With Wesley Mission Queensland disability home support, it’s your choice.
