In this webinar we talk with our expert NDIS support work providers about:

- accessing support work with your NDIS plan

- what to expect when hiring a support worker

- what to look out for to find the right support worker for you.

Key Takeaways:

- Build a team of support workers around you that you get along with, and regardless of whether they are from the same company or not, they should be working together and communicating with each other so that your needs are met.

- Support workers need to listen to the NDIS participants, so that support can be provided in the way that works best for them.

- Knowledge of mental health and the specific concerns (such as cultural issues) of their clients is important for support workers to have.
