You may know your current home isn’t working for you. Explaining that through forms, assessments and NDIS planning conversations can feel like another challenge altogether. Perhaps you’re exploring Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) for the first time. You might already have an SDA decision but need your plan updated before moving. […]
Starting an NDIS service involves decisions that reach well beyond your business name and the supports you’d like to offer. Who will supervise workers? How will participants raise concerns?
