Our approach
The approach focuses on building wellbeing and autonomy through a person-centred, strengths-based model that recognises the importance of family, friends, carers and community. Local Area Coordinators work alongside people with disability and their families to help them understand and access the NDIS, while also building relationships in local communities to make them more accessible and inclusive. The service provides flexible, accessible and inclusive options for meetings, takes time to understand individual circumstances and supports people's own goals and choices. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, with staff asking about communication preferences, cultural needs and how family or carers can be involved.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to the service approach, with Local Area Coordinators recognising the importance of family, friends and carers in supporting people with disability. The service respects your preferences about involving family members and representatives, asks about communication and cultural preferences upfront, and works to understand how family dynamics affect your circumstances. Staff take time to listen to families' perspectives and support people to make decisions at their own pace, creating a safe space for everyone to express their needs and be understood from the start.
Your first visit
At first contact, the service aims to help you feel informed, respected and confident in connecting with the team. Local Area Coordinators will ask about your communication needs and cultural preferences, take time to understand your disability-related needs, and explain who they are, what they do and how to contact them. You'll receive clear, accessible information communicated in plain language and formats that suit you. The service will check that there's a shared understanding and confirm the next steps together, offering flexible options for how you'd like to meet and how family or carers might be involved in the process.
