Social Work
Allied health therapeutic social work services.
Remote, skills-based social work under the NDIS for participants that focuses on therapeutic, practical and capacity-building work that fits your energy, communication style, and priorities.
Social Workers play an integral role in supporting participants through a variety of evidence-based therapies aimed at improving or maintaining social functioning. They employ disability-specific interventions to build essential skills in areas such as emotional resilience, relationships, and social and economic participation. Social Workers also assist participants in navigating services and systems, building individual capacity, and addressing practical barriers through problem-solving and goal-setting.
