Purpose
Vision
We will strengthen collaborative Support Coordination partnerships with people with disability, families, carers, service providers and mainstream organisations.
Mission
To support the person with disability, family and significant others to participate in and contribute to health, social, economic, and emotional well-being to the best of their ability.
To promote choice, control, safety, comfort, and dignity with consistent respect for persons with disability and family needs, wishes, interests, and dreams.
To ensure that support, connections and links to service providers are discussed and explained to persons with disability, families and significant others in a spirit of mutual respect, cooperation, and collaboration.
Values
Choice and Control – The person(s) with disability should hathe opportunity to live their vision of a good life. This person is in the centre of decision-making and the ‘driver’s seat’ of their support. This person has a voice and the support to make informed decisions and is supported to understand consent.
Empowerment – Seek opportunities for the person with disability so they can flourish in their communities. Advocate for, create meaningful relationships and friendships, employment and community inclusion. Develop independent life skills and a sense of pride in the person’s achievements.
Independence – To support and build capacity in each person with a disability and their family by increasing their sense of control and flexibility. Encourage independence as the person with disability creates or chooses their activities, goals and services. Including hiring Support staff, deciding where to live and having the flexibility to move funding and activities wherever they go with support.
Performance Measures
- The person(s) with disability and their family understand the amount of NDIS funding approved and the support goals. They have signed service agreements and have bookings with relevant providers of their choice.
- The person with disability has a secure home, supported by people they like or choose, and feels safe and satisfied with their support.
- The person with disability lives a quality life in the community. They know their community, such as the local swimming pool, sports and recreational centre, shops and restaurants. Ideally, the person knows their neighbour and can move safely and freely to destinations like a community library.
- The person with disability has meaningful family relationships and long-term friendships. They can meet for events like lunch and birthdays.
- The person with disability has a social network of people that, at times, can also allow access to the broader community, for example, karaoke concerts and Guitar Hero parties.
