Connecting Home’s NDIS Service provides Support through Support Coordination, Plan Management and Direct Support. The Direct Support Service includes support such as community and capacity building, support with connection to culture, assisting with managing and supporting independent living and participation in the community. Whilst acknowledging the person’s Aboriginal Identity is critical, it is also essential that all aspects of a clients heritage and identity needs are acknowledged and supported respectfully.





The primary responsibility of this role is to provide person centered and culturally appropriate coordination and support to NDIS participants and their families.
