- My major goal and reason for support had been to take clients out not only to appointments, to do their shopping and sometimes cooking (Which I love to do) But to also come up with creative outings, (especially during covid 19) to give them something to look forward to as well as creating special moments for my clients to relive some of the stress and some of the confinement that many of my clients can experience.
- This has made my role extremely rewarding to see my clients laugh, enjoy the outdoors and bring some joy into their lives.
- In saying this I work with my clients to facilitate them in achieving their NDIS goals, assist them in their preparation for their NDIS plan reviews and support them at the time.
- I work collaboratively with NDIS Coordinators and support services such as OTs, and all other team members including family and friends to support my clients.
