Relative Care is a registered NDIS Disability Care Provider that specialises in offering NDIS Support Assistance and disability care services for individuals. Our team consists of qualified and experienced support workers dedicated to providing compassionate care to our clients.
The Australian government has implemented the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which provides funding and support for disabled individuals. Its goal is to help people with disabilities achieve greater freedom, improve their quality of life, and participate more fully in society. It is a transformative program that promotes inclusivity, choice, and freedom for individuals with disabilities.
As an aged care provider in NSW and an NDIS Registered Provider, Relative Care is crucial in supporting individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive the necessary assistance to enhance their quality of life and achieve their goals. Our services are invaluable in helping individuals with disabilities lead more independent and fulfilling lives.
In addition, we have a team of dedicated Care Coordinators and Care Managers who work closely with our support workers and clients to ensure that all their needs are met. Our Care Coordinators are responsible for creating individualised care plans and disability care services and coordinating support services. At the same time, our Care Managers oversee the overall delivery of care and ensure that all services are provided to a high standard.
We understand that each individual has unique needs, and we tailor our support services to suit the specific requirements of our clients. Our support workers are trained to assist with home care services, including personal care, household chores, community participation, and social activities.
At Relative Care, we believe that every individual deserves personal care to live a fulfilling life, and we strive to empower our clients and participate in their community.
